MAKES NO SENSE!! They want equal pay, play equal amount of tennis. I'm an athlete and I know it's not because they can't. So bizarre and unfair IMO. But as a side note I would prefer they all just stuck to having to win 2 sets in all tournaments. Who has the patience to watch 5 sets when it sometimes takes 5 hours?! Not me.

I prefer watching women’s tennis. The mens serves are so powerful that there frequently aren’t any good long volleys, the womens game often has very long volleys which are way more fun to watch than men serving back and forth. Perhaps that’s why men play the best of 5 instead of 3? But that is a great example of a sport with close to equal viewership and pay for both sexes.
