I don’t blame men for not wanting to play her. It’s a lose-lose situation. Whereas for her, it’s win-big win.

I might say the same regarding marriage.  Oh, but wait, women already sue for that reason.

Whatever happened to the simple basic right of freedom of association? The men shouldn’t even have to give any further reason for not wanting to play with her other than “I don’t want to”. This is ridiculous and the kind of “mentality” (no brain) that brought us unisex bathrooms and trannies being allowed to use any restroom they choose, the better for your children to be exposed early in life to perversion.

I think she’s got a point. Either female players need to be specifically barred from the competition, or players need to be penalized for ducking her. This middle ground of letting her participate but allowing would-be competitors to ignore her just doesn’t seem right.

a lawsuit to get most men
to play this woman...

similarly, most Congresscritters have invoked wives and God to avoid telling the truth about the crappy bills they pass.

I don't believe it's a good thing for me to be seen out playing a female other than my wife in casual matches

Huh? It's a tennis match, not a motel-room tryst.

“Another said he heard I made people run too much.”

That's called tactics. Do these people play patty-cake across the net? I used to just love to get the big basketball and football jocks out on the court where this (formerly) 5'10” 155 lb guy could make fools out of them.

They really should rethink that title.

So a really good male should then be allowed to join the women’s ladder and clean up every year. Fair is fair.
