Say we remove all other elements like women’s tennis is rubbish, more people want to watch men’s tennis etc and we just look at the whole 3 sets v 5 sets so men should get paid more debate. My understanding (which may not be totally correct) is that the women players have said that they are more than happy to play 5 sets. It’s that grand slams that decide how long the women’s matches should be and they have never asked or tried to get them to play 5 sets.

So the women are being asked to play for shorter amount of time even though they are prepared to play for longer.

Let me ask a question, based on my understanding being correct, and with the accusations of misogyny I shall remove the gender element from the equation as it is about discrimination. Say someone who was wheelchair bound went to work in an office and was told that he was going to get paid less than other people on average because he was only going to work 3 days and not 5. But why he asks I can and am happy to work 5 days. No you can’t work 5 days because your disabled, you’re only allowed to work 3 and because you’re working less than everyone else we are going to pay you less. Is this discrimination?

If you believe it is discrimination but you don’t think women should be paid as much as the men purely because of the volume of work they do then doesn’t the fault lie with the Grand Slams and not the women? Are the Grand Slam organisers predominantly male or female?
