Most sports I'd agree with you on that one, but I think Tennis is the one of a few sports exempt from that view. Women's tennis although not as high standard as the Men's is still very high in quality and they certainly hold their own in that sport which is why they are paid so well.
Sports like football you just have to look at it as it is and judge it relatively (these being the best women in the world), comparing across gender's is pointless as a decent mens amateur or U15's, U16'S could win this. Which looping back to tennis I don't think can be said.
The women are very very good, don't get me wrong. I just would turn over the channel if they were on as I would prefer to watch a top mens match. I don't really watch tennis unless one of Djokovic, Federer, Nadal or Murray is playing so I shouldn't have really included tennis.
If it was the women's 100m final I wouldn't care either, though they'd beat me anyday of the week in a sprint, I just don't see the point in watching when the men run it quicker... harsh I know! I still fully believe they should be paid equally so my sexism ends there!
