McEnroe trying to defend Williams capitulation by saying it might be down to her illness and the accident BS mate She got absolutely destroyed in that second set by a much better player If she was having issues with that it woulda shown up in previous matches feckin 'Muricans huh
I think a lot of people in tennis' day has been spoilt by Muguruza winning like that, sensing a lot of sour grapes Good on her, she went out and did the business, very impressive tennis
Nah me neither.... She's barely remembering to politely barely applaud the umpire there. Thick as it **** she is.... really steaming. Muguruza looks happy and humble
I am not sexist but every slam this gets highlighted, but if you need to understand why men deserve more than women look no further than the two finals today. I love tennis but got bored during the womens final. The mens doubles however, was fecking gripping. No problems with equal pay when the products end up a similar quality, on the tour maybe but defo not the slams
I think i understand why it is peceived as unfair however when you look at the two products on show barring exceptions there really isnt any comparison. Maybe they should pay the player per game won with a max of 7 games per set per player. Then both genders are getting the same. When you are at the final set and go over you are doing it to win and for the love of your game. Could do something like this this with agents fees in football ie a set fee for each transaction. With differing levels set up dependant on where the transfer takes place so league 2 to league 2 commands X Prem to Champ = x etc
Final is on. Cilic first serve is awful Federer has set points here. Federer is even reading cilic like a book when the guy does get it in. And set one fed.
re women's v men's tennis payment. Really simple. Nothing to do with length of games or matches. It's to do with interest. If women's tennis made as much tv money then pay same. Really ****ing simple. Men watch sport. Women don't as much for whatever reason
Cilic falling apart. Just handed Federer a break. Can't get ball in court now. Fed 2-0 up now in second.
