youre missing the point, the women are paid more than the men, as they play for half as long at a lower quality and the games are over so quickly it allows them time to enter and win the doubles too, hence twice the prize money of the men....by the way if youre rigid one size fits all logic applies here, why not exactly the same prize money for men and women in every competition in every sport in the world oh and disabled champions too? they work just as hard right?

ps men bring in 4 times the revenues for mens finals day estimated in corporate sales. just take a look at debenture seat values, mens finals bets seats £3000 , womens £750....

so equal prizes for men and women and disabled people in every sports contest in the world? right? just to have the same as wimbledon, the mens marathon can be twice as long, football twice as long , boxing twice as long and so on
