Something that really struck me on Centre Court last week

Full house for Lopes/Roddick, gripped by the match even though Roddick was playing crap, ball ripping through the air, zip and pace and strength etc

The women then came out and start playing what looked, in comparison, like two little girls playing pat ball. Crowd emptied out, just melted away. Half full at best.

Muzza comes out - crowd re-appears, packed again

Cannot see why they get the same prize money. If you separated the TV rights for men's and women's and sold them separately, the women's TV rights would go for a lot less
