If it goes to 5 sets, the prize money is more than if it went to 3!! Its perfect. Mr .. or Mrs Wimbledon get on it! How about this.

Truly a defining issue of our times. Wimbledon charges the same for mens and womens games tickets, right? I know the US Open does. So really, who cares. They could always cut their costs further by skipping the mens' games altogether and handing the winners' prize to Roger Federer.

They're without doubt some of the most entertaining finals in tennis. 5 sets of great drama and skill. I think for this reason Men deserve more prize money. Its not about inequality, its about getting paid for what you're doing. Men play more sets therefore more money is paid. Political Correctness gone mad for sure. Look at it as a job. Women are gonna get paid the same for workin for an hour as men who are working for 2+ hours! Bullshit in my opinion. Put it back I say!
