Is also perhaps why women's tennis is leaps and bounds behind men's, however still push for equal prize money. Tennis perhaps in both genders could look quite shakey going forward

Leaps and bounds behind the mens. Oh my disbelief

Some more telling reveals here from Junior...

Im actually turning from a 5 setter fan to 3 sets for all. The womens game is ahead of the mens with this. And all the injuries are further pushing this for me. Then the equality debate would truly finally be over.

For all?! Can we get back to best of 3 for doubles as well!

3 full sets. My opinions on doubles are known but do away with the third set super tie break and play 3 full sets. That should only be used at 6-6 in the third set across both disciplines.

Jaggy with his 0 idea of tennis won't know or remember when Bartoli, Shciavone and very nearly Sara Errani (wta top5) won grandslams, or even last years AO winner Kenin got spanked this year by who? Debate for another thread I'm sure

This forum has always been a space where a level of respect always exists between forumites - whatever the opinion. Theres no place for abusive DMs, and if youre sending them - you are the problem.

Abusive hardly, realistic yes. Not me who calls people out for apparently descriminating then doesnt have the intertesticular fortitude to stand behind their words, either way jaggy I do motivate you to keep watching tennis, enjoy it, love it, motivate others to do so, have an opinion definitely, read blogs.

Best wishes

Is this like jaggys second account? Or has this turned into the schoolyard. British people are very strange to me sometimes

I used to think that we were forever ever, ever
And I used to say, "never say never"
Ah, so he calls me up and he's like, "I still love you"
And I'm like, I'm just, I mean this is exhausting, you know?
Like we are never getting back together, like, ever
