Once women's tennis started bringing in the revenue, they started receiving the same prize money (for less work, btw, since they only play 3 sets vs 5 sets for the men in the major tournaments...)

I wonder why Billie Jean King hasn’t said anything about womens tennis actually being paid the same, for less work, 3 sets vs. 5 sets. I’ve always thought highly of her…until she stands by, says nothing, and is actually proud of it. Come Billie Jean, do you want true equity or not…seems pretty hypocritical. And heaven forbid any of the announcers or others former stars say anything.
