Ok guys and girls... This is purely to see what people's views are.. This weekend Gordon Reid Won the Wheelchair Tennis at Wimbledon and picked up a cheque for £25,000 .. this afternoon Andy Murray did exactly the same and picks up a cheque for £2,000,000 as did Serena Williams... |

I know it doesn't seem fair but I think it's all down to how many spectators the players can pull in - the bigger the star name, the bigger the crowd. |

but it is also not so very long ago that Serena would NOT have picked up a cheque for the same amount at any male who won the equivalent title to her. |

Woman don't play as many sets as men .Grand slams best of three. Men best of five. woman should get percentage of winnings .disabled they should get equal pay .the men work as hard in the chairs & are passionate about the win & title . |

I'm afraid that rather than equal rights, equal pay that you mentioned, Mark, I would say equal work, equal pay which Barbra advocates. |

Equal pay for work of equal value. |
