Caitlin Clark will make 76k for an entire year So a first round exit which takes 1 hour will be a better paying gig than an entire season. Why every single athletic woman isn’t shuffled to tennis makes zero sense to me. They actually make real money
It may not invalidate your point, but in the interest of accuracy that $82,000 is prize money, not salary, so player expenses including travel, lodging and paying the coaches/support staff have to be taken out of that.
I’d imagine that, along with Wimbledon, the Us Open is one of the higher payouts as well meaning they are getting that kind of money for finishing last in every tournament.

The point of this thread is to highlight how much of a unicorn tennis is for female money
