After seeing the epic Nadal/Thiem match yesterday in the heat and humidity, you realize the physical feat that a five set match can be. Women want, or get, equal money in tournaments. Why can't they play five sets?
I don't believe that they are incapable of it, some women are more conditioned than men. Seriously, what is the reason they only play two out of three? If you say that they would take up too much court time or that no one would want to watch a female five set match, then you're saying that women's tennis is not a priority, or a sufficient draw. And many would argue that is not so.
So why shouldn't they have the opportunity to put on the kind of display that Nadal and Thiem did? At least during the majors? They would more fully have equality this way.
