It was a big deal when one of the top women players in the world managed to beat some washed-up old former professional male (Bobby Riggs) — and even then, he was convinced if he had a second shot, he’d have beaten her.
Women’s tennis is the strangest thing; they play fewer games, but have won the right to get the same prize money, because the fans actually love to watch girls playing tennis.
And actually, I like the women’s tennis, because they can’t serve as hard, so each game is really contested, not like most men’s matches where either one guy falls apart, or they both play well, win their serves, and the whole match is about a few points.
In fact, I’d love to see them add a new serving line about a foot back from the backline for the men, just to make it harder to hold a serve.
Meanwhile, they play mixed doubles, and it is funny to watch how hard the men work at making sure the women don’t have to touch the ball. And these are top women players.
I kind of like women’s hockey at the Olympics. lol
It now appears to have been a mob fixed outcome.
