Day 4, Activity 1: Making a Racket
On your blog, tell us three things that you learned from watching these videos, as well as one thing you would still like to know.
Three things I have learnt:
- Venus is ranked 5th and Serena is 1st in the tennis earning scale.
- There is still different pay between men and women.
- Not in ALL tournaments, but still in some tournaments and endorsement deals.
- Venus has won 23 grand slams, and has earned $80million.
- However, the male Novak Djokovic made $100million from winning 12 grand slams.
What I would like to know:
- What else can be done to close the existing pay equality gap?
- How long did the longest tennis match of Venus’ last?
- When did you know that you needed to get an agent to get the best deals for you?
Hey Elsie,
ReplyDeleteWell done finding out all this information about the Williams sisters! They are both so incredible don’t you think? Imagine being able to play a sport as well as they play tennis!
You have thought of some really good questions too! Well done! I think I read that the longest match that Venus played was over two and a half hours! Imagine how tired she must have been afterwards!
If you had to spend over two and a half hours doing something what would it be? I think I would spend that time playing ukulele. What would you do?
Keep up the awesome work!
