The organizers of the Grand Slam tournaments chose to offer equal prizes for men and women, but fans lamented the situation in Rome, where Simona Halep’s prize was frustratingly close to Djokovic’s, but not the same.
“The people who made a difference in the awards are misogynistic. Period.”wrote a tennis lover on Twitter, writes the cited source.
“You seem to say they needed those 10 euros so much to feel more masculine.”wrote another.
