Yes they are. If the women can't play up to 5 sets then IMO they don't deserve equal prize money on the grounds of equality. If they can play 5 sets then let them do so or reduce the men to best of 3.

Yes, That is stupid.
5 set matchs mean the men have to work more, will feel greater physical stress post-match, and are at an increased risk of injury (because of their physical condition). The pay should reflect that.
