Like I As I say, pointless. I wouldn't want to stand there trying to hit a ball as hard as they whack it, male or female.
I think there is a definite point to this. It proves yet again that men are stronger than women and always have a competitive advantage, which is something the trans lobby are constantly trying to deny. There is currently a male rugby player who is trying to overturn his ban on playing in a women's team, and the Washington Post today wrote a puff piece on a "trans woman" runner in the US. This runner ranked 900 as a male but after deciding he was a girl won championships. Of course it doesn't hurt women's tennis at all, women are not supposed to compete against men.
The whole situation in tennis is ridiculous. Women should not get the same prize money in tournaments where the men play 5 sets and the women only play 3. I have no problem with equal pay for equal work, but where else would women get as much for effectively working a 3 day week and men a 5 day week?
So we should pay them by the hour? People who get through all their matches in straight sets should get less than those who go to tiebreakers? The prize money is seen as a measure of how much the sport is valued, and to give less to women (as used to be the case) says that the women's sport is lesser than the men's. Of course a lot of people do believe that. Prizes are not the same thing as wages.
I'd take the opposite view the faster they get it over and done with the more they should get. Or receive a fee per match, but it reduces the more sets it requires. Football should be first goal wins.
