SI.com - Tennis - Wimbledon agrees to equal prize money - Thursday February 22, 2007 12:20PM
Wimbledon cited a combination of commercial, political and sporting factors for the decision
When I was 10 and me and my dad were watching the Winbledon on TV, I asked him - “So why do the women get a plate, and the men get a huge cup?”
Now that the difference in prize-money is gone, it is about time they started giving the women cups for trophies. Giving the men plates would work too.
