before. Wimbledon!!!! both channels on the BBC until 3.25pm. This is worse than football. I have tried to phone the complaints department and the line just won't connect. I can't seem to navigate the website. How can they justify this! |

I think you are only complaining because the male players get more pay than the females (although I think from next year they have to pay the same). I wouldn't sign this but it has my name at the top! Clive |

I think the woman get the same pay as from this year. I don't agree with it actually, sorry sisters, but you don't play as many sets as the men, hence the fans see less of you. |

It didn't used to happen every year. It would be on one side or the other not both at the same time, wonder if those of us who don't like tennis can request a refund on the over priced licence fee. I've never seen the attraction of watching 2 people grunting loudly while batting a ball over a net. Daphne |

That's fair enough Shirley-ann, It may be evident that I'm not a Wimbeldon fan LOL. One channel fair enough, but dominance over two of the 4 I have ... INSULT.. (can't afford blood pressure) |

Why do the women do that 'grunting'??? I'm sure Virginia Wade and Billie Jean King never did. |

They should ban that grunting, esp by that Russian girl Sharapova...she's awful, abit like Monica Selless (whatever she was). It puts me right off, sounds like they're having an orgasm everytime they hit the flamin ball.......she says as she googles for 'tennis lessons in East Sussex' |
