Seems logical to me. Equal treatment means both equal pay and equal requirements to earn that pay...
Simple as I think.

That still doesnt solve the problem of more tennis (and as a direct result more Sue Barker) on the telly.@Jaffa Cake
Solved already with the new roof, in a two years.

So you don't watch men's tennis then?
Some good points there, which makes me think that if women players *knew* that a match could go to 5 sets, surely that would change the way they play.
The money in the game comes from TV. TV doesn't want to see its telegenic stars injured...
That's not the way it works. Top-class performers get paid what they're worth, not how long they spend on stage or playing field... besides the women's game is far more interesting to watch these days, especially on grass or hard-courts.
Men's points are often over quicker, too many ultra-fast servers. Perhaps they should be paid less for giving less interesting rallies, if any at all.![]()

i'm sorry, but this is false statements. have you watched Rafael Nadal play at all? watch him play, then come back
Yes, and to suggest that one player is representative of the overall men's game is stretching things. Just because someone disagrees with you, doesn't mean they don't watch tennis.
I was rather taken aback that Henin came down against five setters for women, particularly that she mentions women not being strong enough to do it.The Henin/Bartoli match was another example where if Henin knew she had five sets it could have been a real classic rather than an upset. I loved the BBC commentary after Henin won the first set "Henin should be able to wrap this up by 6.00 just in time to see herself on the news, nice".
The only real objection that anyone could have is if women really were too frail and if that's the case they shouldn't be running olympic marathons, or any marathons for that matter.
