Wimbledon Extends Women's Dominance

Let me first say that I completely support Wimbledon's decision to pay female players the same amount of money as male players. The women's game is more competitive now, and it's become more fun to watch for more reasons than just the increasing skimpiness of the outfits. Women tend to have extended points, where they actually run around and hit the ball back and forth. The men's game has become a boring, repetitive ace-a-thon; they might as well just change the format to a fastest serve competition.

However, I do have a quibble with the wording on this ESPN.com headline:

Women players to earn equal pay at Wimbledon

Unless there's been some other change that nobody told me about, women are still going to play three-set matches while men still play five-set matches. So, if women are receiving the same money for less work, then their rate of pay is actually greater than the men. If we really want equal pay for equal work, let's see the ladies start playing five-setters. I know this sounds nit-picky, but hey, equality is equality, right?
