It's About Time...

equality

Wimbledon has FINALLY agreed to offer equal prize money for women at the 2007 Championships. Supposedly, the French Open will make a similar announcement in the coming weeks. Given the global success and popularity of professional tennis, especially women’s professional tennis, it is amazing in a way that it has taken so long for this to happen. However,

it was only a few weeks ago that the first female chair umpire officiated at a men’s Grand Slam final. As a highly visible global sport, let’s hope that professional tennis takes a positive and active leadership role in the future related to global issues of equality.
