Tweet O' the Day: Cronin Kills Two Birds

The journo's Gilles Simon and Janko Tipsarevic Tokyo takedown.

By Chris Oddo

(October 3, 2012) -- Gilles Simon and Janko Tipsarevic's names have become synonymous with the equal prize money argument of late. And that explains why tennis journo Matt Cronin took a nice swipe at them after their three-set match turned into a yawner at the Rakuten Open (Japan Open Tennis Championships) in Tokyo on Wednesday.

But to call it an argument would be the equivalent of falling asleep for 40 years and waking up in a daze. The fact is that women are earning equal prize money at Grand Slams, and the sport is better off because of it.


Based on the first few replies to Cronin's tweet, this isn't an issue that everybody agrees on.
What's your take? Was Cronin out of line?
