Parity in pay in tennis

Lasses tennis is far more exciting to watch imo. Doubt it earns enough commercially to have financial parity mind

I remember when female tennis players wore frilly knickers or tight gusset dividing drawers. Those certainly made their game exciting to watch.:lol:

Martina had the right thing where they all pay 3 sets until the quarters and then both sexes play 5 sets.

I don't believe they should be paid parity at Wimbledon if they are only playing potentially 60% of what the men are..

40%, potentially.

Transgender men/women are now decimating the womens game in a lot of sports, no way should they be allowed to compete IMHO but it's given the liberals a right conundrum, fun to watch it unfold

What the fuck does this have to do with liberals?

She's one of the greatest female returners of all time. She creates angles on a grass court that no female (and to a degree, most male players) can even dream of playing on a clay court. To do those things with just solely power is impossible. The women's game lacks a lot of variety at the minute and a lot of it is purely power based, Serena is not one of those players.

Her main attribute is power but to say she has no finesse is wildly incorrect. Funnily enough her forehand that generates more power and pace than anything else, has gone to absolute shit these days.

Serena is the best woman by far to play the game and probably the only one who could make a living if men and women had to play each other, was the best player on court in the mixed doubles match I watched a few days ago, she played some ridiculous shots.

Most professional men would beat serena in straight sets, she wouldnt make a living in the mens game

Why not let them play against men then the winners get the best pay on merit

Aye Ive thought that, they can play in the womens for womens pay or if they want to take the gamble for more wedge they have to compete at that level, not just tennis but in anything.
Or just have general overall mixed sport but most women wouldn't get a look in at the top I guess, not in a sexist way just the way we are built.

It's Comical that womenshould get same prize money.

If it's all about equality just have the one tournament 3 set matches. See how many women reach the final then

Oh well, let’s demonstrate how much stronger men are. That’s not conflating the issue at all!

Take 'women's' and 'men's' out of all sports and remove all drug restrictions. Let the fuckers get on with it. Brock Lesnar v Rhonda Rousey, Djokovic v Williams etc. Equality in action. See how the women's world cup winning team do against a men's team. You want the same pay? Compete on the same stage.

How scared of equality are you?

I think I've asked this before but is there any discipline that women are better than men where strength isn't an overriding factor? Something like shooting , archery or chess ?
 
If your argument is that tennis pay should be based on how many sets they play, that's fine. But if you do believe that, it logically follows that the women's football team should be paid the same as the men. After all, they play the same amount of football as the men (90 mins) .
