Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2176636, member: 1853"] I'm pretty sure if they went to best of 5 for women (as I also think they should) you wouldn't see such one-sided straight sets wins as often. But to the original point of why the men and women get the same prizemoney, well it's all to do with how much money they bring in to the tournament not how much time they spend on court and now both the mens and the womens side get the same amount from sponsors. Kia is the overall event sponsor, GE Money sponsors the men's side and Garnier sponsors the women's side (though they don't publicly state it like that). Both GE Money and Garnier pay the exact same amount of money - therefore the men and women are bringing in the same income, therefore they deserve an equal share of the profits (to put it in business terms).
