It's always been a boyish curiosity of mine where women tennis player put the extra ball when they reach under their skirt.

In tennis, always root against the heterosexual.

What's the problem? This one has two.

You know they're too big if you have to carry them in your hand.

Women’s tennis undies are engineered with a tennis ball sized pouch like pocket rimmed with elastic.

Not as much testosterone, I guess...

Did not realize they were different...Are golf balls the same or different?

There's always a solution for everything.

womens ncaa basketballa are only slightly smaller than the men's in diameter...very slight....

perhaps the men should however move their size up to the international bb diameter....

I had no idea women had different tennis balls. Why would they be different?

Just the manufacturer. Men’s tennis is ATP managed, women are WTA.
Same weight and size.
