Tennis ace Serena Williams is calling for pay equality, calling on her male players to be allies to their female counterparts and help bridge the gap.
The prize money for male and female players for all four of the major tennis tournaments is the same, but that’s not the case across other Association of Tennis Professionals and Women's Tennis Association (WTA) competitions.
Williams, who holds the record for winning the most grand slam titles in the Open Era, said it was high time all players were paid equally.
“In order for change to really be made, men and women have to work together,” Williams said.
“They have to have the same message; they have to support each other.”
