FRENCH star Gilles Simon, who has been elected on to the ATP Players Council, has reopened the bitter debate over equal prize money by claiming men's tennis is far more attractive.
Simon, the world No. 13, criticized the move towards equality, where all the grand slams pay their champions the same amount despite men playing best-of-five sets and not three.
"We often speak of equal money, but I think it's something that doesn't work in sport," said Simon.
"Tennis is the only sport today where we have parity even though men's tennis remains more attractive than women's at this time."
