The All England Club joined their peers in offering equal pay to women tennis players:
"Tennis is one of the few sports in which women and men compete in the same event at the same time," club chairman Tim Phillips said at a news conference. "We believe our decision to offer equal prize money provides a boost for the game as a whole and recognizes the enormous contribution that women players make to the game and to Wimbledon."
"In short, good for tennis, good for women players and good for Wimbledon."
