Male tennis players punished more than women, report says
Serena Williams.
Los Angeles - Egypt Today
Male tennis players are almost three times more likely to be fined for losing their temper and smashing racquets than their female counterparts, The New York Times reported on Saturday.
Male players were slapped with 1,517 fines compared to 535 fines for females according to data compiled by officials at Grand Slam tournaments for the period covering 1998 to 2018.
The figures obtained by the The New York Times show that men received 649 fines for breaking racquets to 99 for women in tens of thousands of matches in the four Grand Slams over the last two decades.
Men were fined 344 times compared to 140 for “audible obscenity” and 287 to 67 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
“Because I’m a woman you are going to take this away from me?” she said to the tournament referee Brian Earley. “That is not right.”
