		<description>It may be true that more people watch men's matches than the women's. But I just don't understand the logic that because men play five sets at the majors, that they would "have to train longer and harder, and would be more prone to injury."</description>

		<description>Dyahe. I get cited in the post and I typed 'principal' in the comment instead of 'principle'.

Anyway, lest I be accused of misogyny, I decry equal pay on principles we can quantify, since quality is indeed subjective. In Grand Slam tournaments for example, men play five sets to the women's three. This means they have to train longer and harder and would be more prone to injury which would lead to higher medical expenses. Next, the number of fans. You can verify this but I would think the men's tour has the higher number of paying customers, both in the stadium and on cable TV. A five setter would mean that advertisers get more exposure during the match and so the men should have a higher share of the advertising revenue. For tournaments were both men and women play three sets, sure; equal prize money is more justifiable, if youre not factoring the subjective criteria of quality.</description>

		<description>Re: #5, the quality is not equal between men's and women's matches? As long as we are comparing, why not compare the French Open final (6-1, 6-3, 6-0) with the 2003 US Open semifinal match between Henin and Capriati? After that match, Henin was even in IV's.</description>

		<description>Roger fan here to ends of the planet. But Rafa deserved that win. That was an incredible match. It just erased the Borg-McEnroe final in my list of BEST ever Wimbledon final. This match IS IT! Awesome athletes!</description>

		<description>I hate it that Roger lost. I still have respect for Rafa because he's humble unlike Novak, but I really (25x) want Federer to beat Sampras' record. From being happy that Venus won, I felt like a drag when Roger lost. Maybe I have bipolar. Hmm.</description>

		<description>It's matches like that one between Nadal and Federer that highlights the travesty of the women being given equal prize money as the men. By the principal of equal pay for equal work alone, it's already a travesty (men play 5 sets) and we dont even have to factor in the quality of play and the number of fans.</description>

		<description>Nadal was relentless. I have no other word for it. The final was such a classic I'll have to force myself to watch it in full. If only the trophy can be split; they both deserved it.</description>

		<description>I really had a hunch that Federer would never get his 6th Wimbledon. I was hoping Marat would be the one to dethrone him nonetheless, a big congratulations to Nadal for the feat.</description>
