I prefer not to get involved because I don’t play for money," Raducanu shares her opinion on prize money in women's tennis

Last week’s quarterfinalist at Queen’s, Emma Raducanu was asked in a press conference about the difference in prize money between the women’s and men’s tournaments.

Indeed, the women’s champion, Tatjana Maria, took home €141,000, while the men’s winner will earn €471,755. A notable difference that doesn’t particularly concern Raducanu:

"I’d rather not engage in this debate. I accept the situation as it is, and I’ll never take a stance. I feel like I don’t play for money. It’s not my priority. I’m never really involved in anything related to these decisions.

Of course, I have to cover the needs of my team, and it costs me a lot of money. Tennis is a very expensive sport, but money isn’t my main source of motivation.
