Interesting point raised yesterday by one of the male players. Should prize money be equal? :confused:
-
Only if the women play the same amount of sets
-
But women's games are only 3 sets long instead of going to 5 sets like men's sometimes do so this would need to be brought into line aswell.
I'm not against them getting more just all the other bits have to be the same
-
For me it's about appeal and popularity.
Until a women's final draws the same interest as a mens, then yes.
-

exactly
-
They should just have 1 competition for men and women with one lot of prize money. No argument then best person would win!
-
As long as they stop all that grunting. It's enough to put me off my stroke. :wink:

....Well said! Although it depends on the quality of the 'grunting'.
Brilliant, Hedge! :signLOL: - We wouldn't want you to be put off your stroke.

....It's all about appeal for me too: I have much more interest in the women's tennis when Tsvetana Pironkova is playing! :love: Saw her play Sharapova and she nearly won.
Apparently, according to the BBC, Sharapova is the highest paid athlete in the world.
Am not a tennis fan but I'll watch the finals though. Same with football.

I hope they don't put you off your stroke, Ian :evilgrin:
"Grip It and Rip It!" - A good tennis term. I fancy Ana Ivanovic :love: ........ to win.
-
Not usually Robin. :wink:

Not looking so well suspended there. :confused:

"Grip It and Rip It!"
You have just corrupted my mind Robin :laugh:

That's what the Williams Sisters would do with your scraped carrot Robin. :surprised:

.
Well, Ana Ivanovic won a very tight match :congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:
Did you get many Forced Forehand Errors, Ian?

I'm glad this thread started such an intelligent discussion on the pros' and cons of prize money equality! :signLOL:
-
.
I don't know the details but I don't expect that Wimbledon, being so typically snooty English, will pay as much as elsewhere. Either way, the big money comes from commercial endorsements etc and that's probably why Maria Shall-I-get-my-leg-ova is the world's highest paid athlete.
I much prefer to see a more feminine woman win Wimbledon rather than brutes like the Williams sista's. I hope Ana Ivanovic does well - She's lovely :love: But so is Julia Goerges.

^ Ana Ivanovic helping herself to extra money from commercial endorsements.
She can play with my balls anytime :evilgrin:
Does the individual tournament prize money actually matter that much? - I don't think so.
