Women’s elite tennis could learn a lesson from the recent World Cup when it comes to the fight against sexism

If you wanted to put the popularity of women’s football into figures then the most impressive one is 11.7 million. That’s the number of people in the UK who watched England’s World Cup semi-final against the USA on TV. In these days of multi-channels and platforms that is properly large, suggesting that, at least at the international level, women’s football has captured not just the public’s attention but also its imagination.

Its taken you a whole week to realize this injustice ....

What mediocre rubbish. Zero examination of the many underlying sexist reasons for the women playing only 3 sets in the first place, 0 mention that they receive equal prize money only at 4 tournaments a year and are paid less the rest of the year for same amount of work.

Men and women should play the best of five....

It's ridiculous, its like a work colleague working a 3 day week and you a 5 day week, but getting paid the same money!

Yes either the men's should be dropped to 3 sets or the women's raised to 5 sets. It must be equal for equal pay anything else is a disservice to equality

Shut up. The women’s tour is 10x better than the stale shite that is the ATP right now and you know it.

God will this ever end Woman play best of 3 Men best of 5 the woman’s final wasn’t great this year but the woman’s tournament was far superior to the men’s which frankly was garbage up to the semifinals

Not only was the final much longer in the mens than the womens, but men have to play 5 sets from the first round. The male pool of talent is also deeper. Men have to play longer games, sets and matches round by round. Equal pay came round cos of Serena. A moaner. With 'cards'.

If that’s the case, then Djokovic didn’t deserve equal prize money when he killed Nadal in Australia while Kvitova nearly beat Osaka from triple match point down. I guess he’s even.
