Equal Pay Reigns at Wimbledon

Associated Press via Fox Sports

Women's tennis finally get's their say. After more than one hundred years of inequality, Wimbledon's All England Club announced today female players will receive equal prize money at this year's tournament.

This has been a touchy topic the last few years as the the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) has become just a much (if not more) of a draw to tournament coverage. Power players like the Williams sisters, Justine Henin-Hardenne and Maria Sharapova, have helped revitalize a sport accustomed to relying on it's top male players for prime time entertainment.

I don't know what took them so long, but I'm glad they finally came around.
