Fans left in shock as gender pay gap between Djokovic and Gauff highlighted after Cincinnati Open final

Tennis fans were left shocked after seeing the prize money difference in the Cincinnati Open (Western & Southern Open) between men’s and women’s singles categories.
The tournament concluded on Sunday with a memorable final in the men’s category between Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic and the current world number one Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz.
It was the 36-year-old who came out on top and took his Wimbledon 2023 final revenge with a score of 5-7, 7-6, 7-6.
Following the final, it was revealed that Djokovic’s prize money for winning the tournament was more than $1 million — to be exact $1,019,335.
That prize money was more than twice what the women’s singles category winner America’s Coco Gauff managed to earn for lifting the same title as she received just $450,000.
Gauff defeated Czech Republic’s Karolina Muchova in the final of the competition in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4.
It is not the first time when the pay disparity has been identified in the world of tennis and it is because of this reason, earlier this year, Wimbledon authorities announced to give equal prize money to both men’s and women’s winners in the competition, a decision which was applauded by all quarters.
