New Delhi:The Wimbledon championships will pay women and men equal prize money for the first time at this year's tournament.
After years of holding out the world's most prestigious tournament finally bowed down to pressure from players and the public.
Wimbledon now joins the US Open and Australian Open in paying equal money across the board, from the champions down to the first-round losers in all events.
The French Open, though, only offers the same cheque to the champions.
Amelie Mauresmo the winner at the All England Championships last year, earning 30,000 less than the men's champion Roger Federer.
