The women's Tennis has been more competitive and exciting imo.

Obviously the equal pay thing is dumb I'll agree with you on that, because Tennis is a business at the end of the day, and men's Tennis brings in more revenue than the women's game.

Personally I'm preferring the women's game at the moment, but a business isn't going to run itself based on a few random Internet people's opinions.

Tennis is not like football. The women's game attracts just as big an audience as the mens game. Given that, then there should be less difference in prize money for the mens and womens games

Oh I get that it's much closer the gap in popularity compared to how men's Football demolishes women's Football in popularity as it currently stands.

However there is still a gap in popularity, which a business will take that into account when doing the wage structure.
