Tennis stands out from many other sports in attracting comparable levels of public interest across both the men’s and the women’s game. However, the progression of women’s tennis has been somewhat hindered by a delay in the evolution and modernisation of its administrative rules and regulations. By way of example, it was not until 2007 that women became entitled to equal prize money across all four grand slams. Even now, there are examples of inconsistencies between the men’s and women’s games – prize money is only equal at the four grand slams and over a decade later, there remains a significant gender gap in earnings from the sport. Similarly, in 2018, the French player Alize Cornet was penalised at the US Open for briefly taking her shirt off on court as she had accidently put it on back to front, whilst men suffer no penalty for changing their shirts on court in between breaks.
