The Tennis Thread - from Jan 2020 (Part 1)

Ash is great.

But saying all that when I watch these monster mens games at such a high intensity over 5 versus that stroll in the park.

Makes me wonder how it’s worth the same dough.

I guess there’s many many examples of women doing superior jobs to men and getting paid less so it evens out.

The depth just isn’t there in woman’s tennis but,

Should Federer be paid less for tournaments he won when he was at his peak spanking people in straight sets every match?

Good point, but is there any depth in womens tennis?

Hewit was the last Australian to be number 1 right?

Ash is #1 at the moment. That’s all that matters.

Go Ash!!

I’m not sure that’s really the point. Plenty of periods where mens tennis was equally as boring when raf, Djokovic and fed had no real opposition and it only got interesting in the semis and finals. Barty is the dominant player in womens tennis and I’m not sure her dominance can justifiably be argued as a reason for paying her less.

my only stance is women should play best of 5 sets.

I for 1 say there’s a deep pool of female talent…you just need eyes Sir!

Don’t disagree, not sure this doesn’t happen already.

Berrettini Time

Correct.

Equality this
Equality that

Yet only men play best of 5 sets :upside_down_face:

I don’t mind the quickness of womens matches. sometimes i perfer that then watching a 5 hour slog of a mens match

Maybe best of 4

I could’ve watched another set of Ash for sure.

How would that work Nino?
