    Such a predictable outcome. They should pay Wimbledon for having them.

    On a much more vibrant note, who do you fancy tomorrow?

    More establishment bandwagon bollocks then... Did we say that about Martina? Nowt masculine about the Williams girls. Pure class over a decade. Wrong colour for many it seems.

    Not a fan of the Williiams sisters but they have earnt for me over the years.
    I've got Serena at 8-15 to win in 2 sets today which was a value bet given that she is 1-7 outright and her opponent has 'women's troubles'
    The head says Fed tomorrow but 13-8 is good value for Murray in what shoud be a 50-50 game so i am emptying the gas meter and putting it on the Scotch man.
    I wish i had followed Rangers Till I Die's inside info and punted on us to buy the Korean before the rumour spread-odds would have been tastier than a barbecued dog.

    In the world of success in pro tennis, it is the ONLY variable. Very disappointing.

    Or the fact that Serena has the world record for serve speed meaning her game is much more like a mans game than the rest.

    ""During her match against Barbara Schett in the second round of Wimbledon, Williams unleased a delivery clocked at 125 mph, passing the old record of 123 mph set by Brenda Schultz-McCarthy. 'That was a real surprise,' Williams said after her accomplishment. 'I wasn't going for any big ones today.' The 18-year-old's record breaking serve also betters her own best of 122 mph.""

    Venus has the 3rd, 4th and 5th fastest recorded serves. it has nothing to do with colour.

    You're in a hole mate. Best advice: stop digging.

    All sport is about fitter, stronger, faster. The Williams girls' success is down to the vision of one working class man: their dad, Richard. His efforts showed us all what can be achieved with the right kind of commitment. To suggest that their overwhelming successes relates to some sort of emasculation is crass in the extreme. Why do we have to make excuses when other races win through in a one-to-one contest? Happened in athletics and boxing back in the day. Happening in F1 today. Tedious and embarrassing.

    Why can't we just accept the fact that due diligence pays off - and applaud supreme effort?

    Well done Serena (and Venus). Amazing achievements!!

    Womens tennis hasnt been about that, most of the girls done even weight 8 stone and these 2 play the game like men do with an overpowering serve.

    Its nothing to do with race. Ive proven that with the speed of their serves that its all to do with them playing a mens style game. Theres no excuses, she deserved to win. To play the race card is very, very lame. the only embarrassing thing is you bringing race into it.

    Well said Brix, it was the same when Navratilova was winning everything, just because she wasn't a pin-up in the Kournikova mould she was always subjected to the snide remarks that go with the territory. The Williams sisters are much stronger natural athletes and allied to their skill and the biggest advantage of all, their will to win, they have dominated for the last decade or more.

    Getting back to the OP, no, the women should receive no more than 60% of the men's prize money commensurate with their time on court...
