Former world number 2 Paula Badosa recently shared his thoughts on the gender pay gap in tennis. This issue remains a hot topic in sports, especially tennis.
Progress has been made thanks to the efforts of tennis stars such as Billie Jean King. Although the major tournaments have improved, many other tennis events are still lagging behind. Badosa also shared her thoughts on the matter. She was last seen playing at Wimbledon, where she lost to Donna Vekic in the round of 16.
I have always been very clear that we are what we generate, regardless of gender. Are there differences? Maybe there are, but because men's tennis generates more than women's, just as in the world of fashion, for example, the opposite occurs between male and female models.Paula Badosa said to The Vanguardia
Badosa’s comments echo those of Rafael NadalThe 22-time Grand Slam champion played in Bastard last week. However, Nadal is known for his fair approach and careful remarks when addressing controversial topics.
In my sport, in fact, it is much more equal than in others, and it doesn't bother me that if the best tennis players generate more, they earn it in proportion. What I can tell you is that between us, although we don't all think the same in this sense, there is a real resonance that makes me very proud.Paula Badosa added
Asked about equal pay for male and female players, Nadal said it was “unfair” that men’s and women’s salaries were different. He also said that men and women should have the same opportunities, showing a balanced perspective.
Paula Badosa will not participate in the Paris Olympics
Rafael Nadal And Carlos Alcaraz will play doubles together According to the Royal Spanish Tennis Federation (RFET), Nadal, Olympic gold medalist in singles in 2008 and doubles in 2016, will be joined by Alcaraz, who has just won Roland Garros. This will be Alcaraz’s first Olympic Games.
The other selected Spanish players are: Pablo Carreno Busta And Alexander Davidovich Fokina. Marcel Granollers, currently world number 2 in doubles, is also part of the team. They will represent Spain in the men’s events.
The women’s team includes Sara Sorribes And Cristina Bucsa. They are the best Spanish players and the doubles champions of the Madrid Open. However, Paula Badosa will not participate due to his lower ranking caused by injuries.
Badosa can only use her protected ranking at two major events. She is expected to use that option for the US Open rather than the Olympics.
