The men play 3 sets in Grand Slam tournaments only, the rest of the time they only play 2. So for the vast majority of the year, they play the same amount. Think it's just puerile women bashing. Because of course the little ladies don't put any "effort in". Yup, the tenor of the post made it pretty obvious.

And Zos demeaning the men's tennis wasn't puerile? The both of you need to shut the fuck up. Oh and the men having to play 3 sets at Grand Slams only didn't make a difference to my comment.

Now all of a sudden the same guys are still on top and winning slams at like 34 years old. Are they just that good? or is the field so much weaker that nobody can break through? Drugs. Pete Sampras would still be winning Wimbledons today, pinging down 90 aces per match, if he'd had access to the same good stuff. they are tested. They canβt get away with drugs

But are they tested for vampirism?

They canβt get away with drugs I think lots of sportsmen / women get away with taking drugs. e.g. Lance Armstrong famously described himself as the most tested athlete in the world WHILST he was on drugs the whole time π Nadal's already got dubious links with that dodgy Spanish doctor and all the athletes record with him were destroyed... Who knows what's really going on π€·

Oh and the men having to play 3 sets at Grand Slams only didn't make a difference to my comment. I never used that word, that's totally from your own mind. i just don't enjoy watching "power" tennis with huge serves, gets boring for me. Not much of a fan at all but if I am going to enjoy it then it has to be competitive with long ralleys for my enjoyment. I think that's a fair point, your claim that women somehow don't put effort into playing tennis though is just pure and ill informed misogyny.

The shortest tennis matches have always been the women's tennis you need to stay out of these discussions. Misogyny? Zos stop being a girl and complaining about misogyny when the only thing about women's tennis that you like is the tits and ass aspect of it.

Stop being a girl and accusing others of misogyny when the truth is uttered.

I think Mcenroe made a fair point that if the women are getting equal pay they should play best of 5 on the slams too, but I can see both sides of the argument. The slams are where the big money is

One of the few sports where the women's game is far superior to the men's. Lots of long rallies (spel?) rather than just huge serve following huge serve. I dislike the huge serve game as much as the next person (which is why Wimbledon is my least favourite tournament to watch, and Roland Garros my favourite), but I disagree. Men's tennis is of a higher quality - and I like women's tennis! The women's game has been very inconsistent in the last 20 years. You see all of these women that get to the top 5, maybe win a slam or two and then fade away and drop out of the top 50 a year later. IT's a revolving door. I stopped watching the women's game years ago.

She doesn't have the mental fortitude of Ben Simmons, that's for sure.

Tennis Network - Miami Open Final #2 Swiatek up on Osaka 3-2 Naomi Osaka lost the first set 6-4 and then collapsed in the second (6-0). Young Spaniard Carlos Alcazar won the men's tournament. He just might be the next big thing after Djokovic, Nadal and Federer retire. (I haven't watched any of it, I am just going by what I read)
