Important:
This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Women should not be paid equally to men in Tennis
More details
This is a petition to lower the prize money for women in Tennis, this is justifiable as they do half the work then men, have less media attention, less television coverage, generally there is less interest and it is lower quality.
Women should get 2/3 the prize money that men do for being eliminated in the same round of a 250/500/1000 and Grand Slam event.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
One for the ruling bodies of Tennis, not the Government.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
