    You got a point buddy! Even if they played the same number of sets, women's tennis is much below par compared to the man's game.
    Not wanting to sound sexist, but women's tennis matches don't even sell 60% of tickets that the men's games sell.

    • These are the ticket prices from the official Wimbledon site on friday morning;
      Ladies Singles Final 4/7/09 - £728
      Mens Singles Final 5/7/09 - £2868

      So you're right about the men's game being better, the prices clearly reflect this.
