Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams react to Gilles Simon’s opposition to equal prize money among men and women players.
«We women have fought so long to get equal prize money,» Sharapova said. «It was a big challenge and nobody really supported us. It’s been a few years since we’ve gotten that. We’re all really proud of it, and we continue to build the sport and make it bigger. I’m sure there are a few more people that watch my matches than his.»
Serena got a laugh out of Sharapova’s last comment, saying: «Definitely a lot more people are watching Maria than Simon. She’s way hotter than he is,» Serena said with laugh.
