Nikolay Davydenko has surprised the world by weighing in on one of those eternal debates that most avoid if they do not hold the opinion that there should be equal prize money between women and men in tennis. The Russian was firm in his stance, and his words, reported by MatchTenis, have sparked a major controversy. "Male tennis players work three times harder than female players, especially in Grand Slams, so I find it very unfair that they receive the same prize. Men have to fight much harder to win a major tournament," he stated.
