Well of course some still argue that the equality in pay simply reflects the equal entertainment value of the women's, albeit shorter, game. A relative procession to the final for the Williams sisters doesn't bear that out IMHO. I don't see how 5 sets of Nadal v. Federer can be equal in any way to 3 sets of Williams v. Williams.

Well, it's not really a valid comparsion. I am sure they would be equal entertainment value if men did 3 sets as well. A 5 set match vs a 3 set match is not a huge difference unless the tennis is really good in the first place, then longer = better.
