    What's the problem?

    Some sports-loving blokes are a bit miffed that the sheilas will be getting equal pay at Wimbledon this year. They only play best of 3 sets, unlike the men who slog it out for 5 they say. Equal pay? Make 'em earn it comes the reply.

    Look, when it comes to displaying caveman characteristics I'm right up there but that argument is bollox - if it had any validity being a 100m sprinter would be the worst-paying job on the planet but it ain't is it? Fact is, come Grand Slam time just as many people go to watch Maria grunting through 60 minutes as they do to marvel at Roger for a bit longer.

    Hark back to the Aussie Open - arguably the best and definitely the biggest story of the fortnight was an unseeded dumptruck steamrolling her way to the women's crown. So lump it fellow chauvinists - give 'em the same paycheck as commercially they probably deserve it.
