Published October 1, 2026 · Updated October 1, 2026 · The Guardian

The Women's Tennis Association has announced that all combined WTA 1000 tournaments will award equal prize money to men starting from 2027.

The Women's Tennis Association has announced a 'major milestone' in the fight for equality as all combined WTA 1000 tournaments will award women equal prize money to men from 2027. The Italian Open and other major events will join the rest of the category in offering the same payouts.

Billie Jean King, who often spoke about the pay disparity, formed the women's professional tennis circuit after earning $600 for her 1970 Italian Open title while Ilie Nastase took home $3,500 for winning the men's tournament the same year. sos-zagle.org.pl
