Looks like Murray and your Aussie/Hungarian woman are both knackered before the thing even starts.

Back of a fag packet says it's 1.33 times the amount a man takes home

What?
The prize pot for each place is the same for men and women

Men draw a 20% larger audience than women on average

Men play 66% longer than women

Therefore women are paid 1.33 times more than men for the value they create

They don't get "paid" they win prize money. Personally I think women should get vouchers for kitchen related goods or sexy clothes.

Well then you're sexist

Prize money should be awarded on the value they earn

If a womens 3 set match on a saturday has 20% less viewers than a 5 set mens match on a Sunday but they win the same, then something is wrong

The women take home more cash on average because most of them also play the doubles and mixed doubles. Very few of the elite men do because of the punishing singles schedule.
