Ohanian also revealed that more Americans prefer to watch the women's US Open final over the men's, shedding light on the increasing popularity of women's tennis in the country.
He said, “There have been great women athletes for a very long time laboring under horrible conditions, unfair pay, but let’s unpack it some more. The US Open is a rare case study of a women’s and men’s tournament played at the same time that are now thanks to a lot of great work, Billie Jean King, providing equal pay, equal marketing support, equal stakes, equal everything.”
