Women's Tennis Calls for Equal Prize Money
Women tennis players have begun to ask for equal prize money for tennis tournaments such as Wimbledon. That seems fair enough - equal pay for equal work.
But wait a minute. Men play tournament matches that are best 3 of 5 sets. Women continue to play matches that are best 2 of 3 sets. I guess the equal work part of the equation doesn't apply here, so perhaps the equal prize money shouldn't either.
Until such time as either men play tournament matches that are best 2 of 3 sets or women begin playing matches of best 3 of 5 sets, prize money should probably stay the way it is.
