Why can't women play 5 sets instead of 3?

Clashes with their nail appointments if they want to be out at a decent time that evening.

Tennis is one of few sports where men are better

WTF!!! Are you serious?

Name any sport or event where women are better or equal to men.

PS In this sweeping generalisation I am excluding "sports" where the player isn't actually doing the work.
eg. In eventing men and women compete on an equal footing and women are often the best - but lets be frank the horse does all the work.
I am prepared to concede that the disparity in the success of women vs men in similar sports, like horse racing, is due to numbers and time. Given time there is no reason why a woman couldn't be Champion Jockey.

For most sports, I would rather watch women rather than men.....

The drive for equal pay for the female players is sexist. It presupposes that females must necessarily be subsidised in lieu of lagging market rates. I.e. because women are inferior in some respect, they must be protected from the same market forces as men with regards to being compensated relative to the value they create.

FLC won the prize for largest breasts though...

The request was for 'better' rather than 'biggest'. Obviously, when it comes to breasts, that's the same thing. Except where FLC's sweaty moobs are concerned. HTH

Synchronised swimming, gymnastics both have a higher profile for women than men.
Long distance swimming and free climbing are also sports where women have outperformed men.
