The women’s event in Queen’s was stopped in 1973, with the Eastbourne tournament established the following year and became the equipment season for women’s grass fields.
The queen that is revived will be run as a WTA 500 tournament and as part of the two -week event with traditional men’s competition.
Unlike Wimbledon, who has given the equivalent prize money between the lottery of his son and the woman Since 2007, The men’s tournament will have a much higher prize pot $ 2.5 million (£ 2.1 million), than $ 1.1 million (£ 0.9 million) available for women.
This is determined by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) and the Tour of Tennis Professional Association (ATP) and applies to all their 500 level events.
“LTA (Lawn Tennis Association) will certainly be happy to reach the marker long before the WTA tour but to do that we need a successful event, we need people to come and watch and to be excited about it,” Robson, who also has working as a director The tournament at Nottingham, said.
“It did not start at all or not at all. We must build in the way the tournament runs and finally and reach the same prize money markers but that is something that I am all for a former player.”
