"If we continue to invest in women's sports, then it will profit": Bad marketing reason for less viewers for women's tennis says Coco Gauff
WTAWednesday, 21 February 2024 at 01:00
America’s young tennis star Coco Gauff believes women’s
tennis is suffering because of poor marketing.
The 19-year-old is often regarded as the most highly-rated
player currently playing in women’s singles tennis. There has been a lot of
discussion in many quarters of the sporting world about the reasons behind the lack of
viewership numbers in women’s tennis compared to men’s category.
Gauff was recently quoted in a report where she highlighted
that the primary reason for that to happen is a poor marketing strategy.
"Yeah, for me I think the biggest thing in that most
sports in the world, people watch the men's game more than the women's,” she
said. “I think we continue to bring fans. The problem is also we have to market
our women's sports better, market us better.
"I think the past couple years I feel like the
marketing for women's sports has been invested more in, and therefore there's
been more watch-ability, people watching. I think if we continue to invest in
women's sports, then it will profit almost the same as the men, garner equal
pay. I'm grateful for us.
"At least on most tournaments, some tournaments on the
tour, the Grand Slams obviously, we have equal pay. Hopefully tennis can be the
leader of that and fiddle down into other sports, as well."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
