Djokovic makes peace with King and Williams

World No 1 has 'huge respect' for female colleagues

Novak Djokovic made peace with Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Serena Williams and others on Wednesday by expressing his support for equal prize money for men and women tennis players after days of controversy.

After winning the Indian Wells final in Califronia on March 20, the world No 1 from Serbia suggested men attract more spectators and deserved better paydays.
