Women players do not draw as many spectators or viewers, at least not yet. Therefore, the revenue they generate is not as great, and their earnings should reflect this. The level of competition among women players has not yet risen to near the level that exists on the men's circuit. The top women, even though they may earn less at each event, win more often due to softer competition. Top women players earn more prize money as it is because of this.
Women play at most three sets compared to a man's maximum of five.
