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.

30 years ago, when I was gung ho about tennis, I would watch every point of a 5 set match. Now I may tape the final and fast forward through the change-overs and stop at a service break and watch that closely. Or the set tie breaker if there are no service breaks. Then if it goes to a 5th set, I will watch every point
