What's up with women's tennis?

their WTA tournaments, especially when men are prohibited from any
type of coaching during a match while the "ladies" can have their
coaches come onto the courts and give them playing advice and coach
them throughout the match! In addition, and as everyone knows that
the "ladies" play less sets in all the major tournaments. In
addition, they are totally boring! Absolutely disgusting!

Yeah, but it's fun listening to the logic of equal pay for the rest of
your life....kind of like being poked in the eyes with a sharp stick
just
hard enough to make them sore but not hard enough to blind you forever
to
the plight of women.

*rolls eyes* This issue again?
Don't you have anything else you can do besides obsess over the money
that women who are strangers to you make? Give me a break already!
Go read a book or something! I have a solution for you: If you don't
like women's tennis, guess what, DON'T WATCH IT. I hate football and I
simply don't watch it. I don't complain about it or talk about it as I
dislike it. Why talk about something you dislike?

I prefer wta tennis. what i don't understand is most men don't. most
guys apparently like to watch the sweaty dudes play this game whether
their straight or gay. i'll take the sweaty ladies calmer smoother type
game over the rockem sockem robotic atp style game any day.
the only atp player i like is Federer. he doesn't just bang the ball. he
plays a smooth type style game much like the wta players. only with much
more power.

There are a number of reasons. The first for me is that there are so
few women players who have any guts when they play tennis. They fold
so quickly when down. The biggest reason for me is the lack of strong
competition at the top of the women's game. The #1 ranking is such a
revolving door. No group of top players can be counted on to provide
entertaining tennis as in interesting matchups, unique styles of play,
etcetera.

When I put tennis on TV, I want to see tennis - and the ATP guys, for
the most part, play it better than the WTA ladies. If want to watch
sweaty ladies, there are much, much better ways (better ladies and all
that) to get those on TV than a WTA match.
