I understand that women don't have to compete with men of course, but men should get paid double of what women get paid, just because of how much harder it is. Honestly I don't care about Serena, her personality is ugly, bogus and anything related to her is to be scorned.

In the tennis history books the names of Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova will be there. The name of Janko Tipsarevic will be forgotten and his "epic" match (or choke) against Ferrer won't even be an afterthought. |

OK, I don't think the fact that Simon or Tispy can beat top WTA players means the men deserve more money.
The only arguments for different money is 1. do fans pay more $ to see men's or women's match, and 2. men do play 5 sets vs 3 sets at GS. If fan interest is roughly equal and men only played 3 sets or women played 5 sets; then equal $ is fine by me. But, let's get this straight Jack Sock would blow Serena off the court. A bad serving day for Jack would be like Serena's best serving day, and the serve is Serena's biggest weapon. The rest of the game would be an even bigger advantage to Sock. His forehand is harder, has more spin/movement and even more consistency due to the spin. His backhand is his weakess shot and would be equal to Serena's. He beats her 6-2, 6-2. |

What you see in the matches is only part of the equation. Think about how much more training has to go on for the entire year to be able to play the way they do. Their is clearly more time and effort put in mentally and physically in the mens than the womens. You do not see men "taking time" to pursue other interest and half as-sing it through a modified schedule. This is where the men that say this come from, then on top of that its at the tourneys where that needed extra work to perform is not even rewarded, the 5 set slams. Is total BS and anyone that thinks equal pay is fair at slams considering these facts is drinking their bathwater.

Serena, Venus, Sharapova, Clijsters, would fill far more seats than either of these 2 clowns. It is hilarious that they have the gall to complain about other people's undeserved earnings. |

Huh? By that pathetic attempt at Logic, today's Big 4 would be making peanuts because after the 90's guys retired all the fans would have disappeared. Fail.

Junior will easily beat Serena, everyone knows it.
As for the money question, Men deserve more money for the sole reason that fans attend their tournaments almost twice as much. Men and women are two separate events and should be regarded as such. |

See, Murray took it to Djokovic and beat him and collected his $1.9M prize. That's all Tipsarevic needs to do now.

Just to put things into perspective for you guys. Drunk, smoking, and past his prime beating both the Williams sisters.

Once again, attendance woes at Rogers cup for WTA:
http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Tennis/WTA.../20087486.html and last year, the men had to help sell tickets for the womens matsers: http://espn.go.com/tennis/story/_/id...t-andre-agassi

It is a known fact at the AO at that time. The sisters (we aren't supposed to call them by their names) thought themselves that they are at the men's level (not top level but...)...and so they got what they wanted from an unfit guy who overheard them (again, we aren't suppose to call them by his name; yes, he is German.
...thereafter, the sisters never said anything about beating men or boys for that matter till this day. |

I think men should make more but not because it's more popular, but because they play more(3 out of 5 sets). If we gauge it based on which is more popular all it would take is for 10 or 15 more nice looking women that can actually play to get on tour and wear some of those short skirts and they would be more "popular". So it's going to be hard to gauge what's more popular. It needs to be based on who plays and how much they play. As far as the conversation about how Serena would do against some man is rediculous to even have.

The joke just writes itself - Tipsarevic has to wake sleeping fan during his match.
