World number one Novak Djokovic has questioned equal prize money in tennis, suggesting men should get better awards as they have more spectators.
Winning the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, he defended use of viewing statistics to determine fair distribution of prizes at joint events.
Earlier, Indian Wells Tennis Garden CEO Raymond Moore said the women's WTA Tour "ride on the coat-tails of the men".
Djokovic described the comments as "not politically correct".
The Serbian player said women "fought for what they deserve and they got it", but that the men's ATP tennis world "should fight for more".
