Wimbledon Champions receive $1.49 million Each

The Wimbledon Champions will each receive $1.49 million this year.  Last year was the first time women received equal prize money.

Why equal prize money when the men play best of five sets, and the women play best of three sets?

The aforementioned suggest that the men receive $1.49 million, and the women receive $1.00 million, as Wimbledon Champions.

Now, that sounds and looks about right.

What is your opinion?
