Don't get me wrong - the womens' game can be just as entertaining as mens' - but the plain fact is they just don't work anywhere near so hard nor for as long. Therefore: if women claim they are worth the same money - for much less time on court - that can only mean women think they are worth MORE and a much HIGHER rate of pay...!
So, Hey...! - HOW SEXIST IS THAT...???

I agree. It's like saying women who work a 40 hour week deserve the same pay as a guy who works a 60 hour week.
Plus, the women make money by prancing about in their underwear just because it says "Nike" on it.

Because who really watches men's tennis anyway? More people are watching women's tennis, aren't they? I would think that women's tennis probably does better than men's on TV, except for maybe grand slam final matches. You get a first round match at the US Open, who's match gets more interest, Maria Sharapova or Nikolay Davydenko? Both are Ranked #3 on their respective tours, but who watches men's matches that don't have Fed, Nadal, Blake, or ARodd in them??? When you get out of the top 10 I don't think it's close... More people probably want to see Tatiana Golovin play than Ivan Ljubicic. And if you think, "that's not about tennis", well, you might be partly right. But is is certainly about the business of tennis, which is also where purse money comes in. It isn't about 3 sets vs. 5 sets. It's about who's bringing people to the seats, and who's bringing the TV ratings. Hrbaty vs. Berdych... completely unwatchable. Nalbandian vs. Grosjean.... unwatchable. etc...etc...etc...

Well, I'm a woman and a feminist and I love tennis. But I agree with you. Equal pay for equal work. As well as the reasons you said, men's tennis raises the most revenue as it's more popular than women's.
Olga, please be kidding, love!
