By Alexander Morgan, published 18/11/2015

It's not just about prize money. It's about endorsements. It's about media exposure. It's about body image.

Yes, exactly. I think it was Bjorn Borg who, when asked about the difference between mens' and womens' tennis, said: "They play classical. We play rock 'n' roll."

The women's game has more grunt, far more grunt.

For once I agree with OTB.
I won't watch women's tennis at all because of the horrible grunts too many of them make.

Sexism should not be allowed in any sport.
However, in tennis women only have to play three sets at the most, so of course they shouldn't get the same prize money as the men.
