It's only the 4 'Grand Slam' tournaments (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open) that the men play best of 5. All of the other tournaments they play best of 3.
The major disparity is not in the tournaments that have men's and women's tennis going on (e.g. the Grand Slams and other major tournaments). It's that the men get paid much more for playing in a single-sex tournament than women do for playing in a tournament of the same size.
Djokovic has been vocal recently (last month some time) about how male players should get paid more regardless: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35859791
