Let the women play 5 sets/match before they get paid as much as men do. Moreover, all over the world, audience for men's tennis is much larger than that for women's matches. So, women play shorter matches and bring in lesser money, no wonder they are paid less. The best way to shut up these women is to have a co-ed tennis championship - equal number of male and female players - 5-set matches - equal money for all participants. Roger Federer FTW !
