Maybe so but they both had sold out stadiums so generated similar income.
Yep that's probably true but doesn't address the point I made.

And if it is true why are the punters paying the same money for 3/5ths of the product?

Tim the don't pay the same for tickets. Tickets to the men's finals were going for higher. Also the tennis TV ratings year after year are higher for men's final than the women's final. Plus more of the product so based on revenue the men again get shafted in the prize money.

I had tickets to men's and women's final, similar seats for exactly the same price. (Procured in Oct last year)

That's ineresting. I thought they were the same. How much were men's compared to women's?
 
Wow!!! Kyrgios Wow!!!

5-2 down in the third set tie breaker, and smashes two first serve returns off huge serving Isner and then serves an ace to win the match. Wow!!!
 
Watching Dellacqua and Barty in the womens doubles final of the French Open, what a pathetic crowd, there's no one there.

No one cares about the double t-man

It appears that way jb. The men's final was on afterwards would a ticket to that get you entrance to ladies final?
I'd be wanting to get my money's worth and the watch both.
 
That Bernard Tomic is a tool.

Loses another game but his response to reporters is “"I just count money, that's all I do. I count my millions," he said. "You go do what I did (on court). Bye bye.
"You go make 13-14 million (dollars). Good luck guys."

Massive tool.

Amidst the Tomic news Stosur chokes yet again.
Titus O'Reilly refers to the annual sacrifice of Sam Stosur in the tennis section of his Thoroughly Unhelpful History of Australian Sport. It's almost predestined now.
