Tennis

Recently, I came across an amazing fact in the world of tennis. Wimbledon is considered the most important grand slam of all four grand slams. The prize money of Wimbledon was recently increased. Now, the winner of Men's singles title will get prize money of $1 million. On the other hand, the winner of women's singles title will get $750,000.
Now, isn't that blatant sexism on the part of the organizers?

Why such a discrimination in prize money? Men and Women players both put equal effort in the game. Both go through the same pains. Then why do Men get more? Some might argue that men play 5 sets while women have 3 set games. So, change the rules and make women play 5 too. I doubt that women will complain playing 2 more sets if they get equal money as men. World Tennis Association needs to decide fast and make necessary changes.
