Question

Help answer this question below.

Whilst watching Wimbledon, i heard that they finally matched female winnings to male winnings. I know this happened years ago in the US Open. Why do women still play less sets than men though if they get the same prize money. Surely it isn't fair?

    Well, women are supposedly not fit (strong) enough to last 5 sets. There is some truth in this although women now run marathon too.

    The reason why thea are paid the same is (in their opinion) because they provide the people with same excitement as men.

    Maybe even more, depending on what kind of dresses they wear...
