I think that would include the prize money for the womens final and also the money they won for winning the womens doubles final too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Absolute peetake that they get equal prize money. Make them play 5 sets if they want to be equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Harris Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I'm all for equal pay for an equal job but the men's tournament and the woman's tournament are not equal. best of 5 compared with best of 3, longer times on court and a bigger tv draw. all that before we consider the relative merits in terms of quality. While we're at it let's pay the seniors competition the same prize money as the main event. We wouldn't want to be ageist after all. Should Arsenal ladies have parity with fabregas et al?
