Italian Open’s petty move shines light on continued inequality in tennis prize money – Wide World of Sports
Bizarre change in men’s vs women’s prize money

Last year, Rafael Nadal earned 958,055 euros ($A1.56 million) as the men’s champion, nearly double the prize money given to women’s winner Karolina Pliskova (523,858 euros, $A855,455).
