Re: Tennis Random, Random (On Court)
Although some of those great 3 set women's finals may have had a dud fourth set to follow and not felt as good. I'm fine with it as is (and 5 set matches are hard to find time to watch often for me as well! )

Re: Tennis Random, Random (On Court)
I have never read of women advocating for 5 set matches. Keep it that way.

Re: Tennis Random, Random (On Court)
I would like to see the men play best of 3 until the quarters...most early round matches are too tedious

Re: Tennis Random, Random (On Court)
They are not hitting harder.
And the supersonic servers are also gone. There are no Brenda Schultz McCartneys, no Lisicki's, no Venus or Serena, or not even Martina, who used to leave people flat footed.
The quality is not about HARDER. It is something else.

Re: Tennis Random, Random (On Court)
Kind of weird thing for Sharapova to call out. It's misleading, sure, but not in an offensive way. I bet most people who saw Sharapova's tweet assume there was something sexist about the story. That's not it. It's just misframed to be clickbaity. Hardly the worst of the Internet or journalism.

Re: Tennis Random, Random (On Court)
Really? I don't think it is at all. I think the only mistake is that they draw the wrong conclusion to have a breathless headline.

Re: Tennis Random, Random (On Court)
They used to do this to Serena all the time. I found it interesting that Sharapova called this out given the public history between the two women...

Re: Tennis Random, Random (On Court)
The subtle unstated innuendo was the same...'she is not really a woman'..that moron Tarpischev actually said it in an interview

Re: Tennis Random, Random (On Court)
I honestly didn't pick up on that at all. I think they're admiring how good she is, not saying she's not a woman. It's no secret that men are stronger and they hit harder, so they're marveling at her power. Not everything is an insult. I think this is a case of if you're looking for a snake, you'll find a snake. Tarpischev's comment were different - those were insulting.
