    People keep saying that, but its really more because there are currently no women at the highest levels. So if they didnt have their own tournaments their would be no women pro players.

      Why are the categories women and open then instead of women and men?

        What do you mean? They are Women’s and Open BECAUSE there arent women at top level. It being Women and Open is defacto Womens and mens because there are currently no top level women competitors.
