Dear Larry Scott,
It\'s sexism that women do not play the best of 5 sets when men do. Women are super athletes just like men. It isn\'t a strength issue, women really are just as capable for this endurance level.
Women are now getting paid the same as men when men have a harder job, this is sexism.
If women tennis players want equal pay then it\'s about time they have equal work.
Kind Regards,
The Tennis Fans

Undermines women's tennis to have them play only 3 sets. Are women less capable as men?

If they want the same prize money, they should have to play the same game rules ie best of 5 sets

Even if, as claimed, scheduling restricts implementing 5 set matches for women, there is no excuse for not making it mandatory for finals/semi finals when when competition for court space is minimal!

Hard to justify the current pay gap when the men are out there sweating through 5 sets and the women are done in 3. Makes no sense.

Equal pay demands equal effort. Nobody should get paid the same to play fewer sets its just simple math.
