If she's that f'ng good, then why doesn't she just go pro and dominate the Women's Tennis Association ? Wouldn't that get her a lot more than $10,000 ? Nooo....she's got the "gimme gimme" mentality...I'm not getting what I want so SOMEBODY owes me.

Sheesh....

[ConservaTexan]

I now formally challenge her to a name-writing-in-the-snow contest. If she fails to accept I will sue.

I would play her - probably kick her butt. My kick serve would make her arm so tired she wouldn't be able to lift it over her head for an overhead.

Then, I wouldn't mind... Oh, stop!

Woman sues to get men to play her

I really have to get my mind out of the gutter.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Sport rules should be sex-neutral. Let all compete and let the better player win.

[Dixie Yooper]

Let her have her way...As a matter of fact, eliminate both men’s and women’s leagues and only have one league for everyone.

LOL, men don’t want to lose to a woman.

You’re a loser no matter who beats you. You’re a bigger loser if you refuse a challenge.

If they have a penalty rule it should apply to everyone.

[library user]

Do you use an automated software to divide your lines like that? I don’t think I could do that, especially for every post. Would make me mad!

"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."

Such a shallow cause to fight for, so pitiably shallow. Methinks she needs an addadictome operation, then she can play with herself all day long.

Aside from the lawsuit business, what is wrong with people? IF I played tennis I would play her every chance I got. If she is that good then she can help you play better. If she is personally a jerk, then that is different. Just say that straight out: “I would play you, but I can’t stand you.”

Speaking of... how's 0 going to feel when Palin kicks his ass in 2012?

[Cicero]

Evidently they now have men’s, women’s, and co-ed ladders.

How could they allow a woman to play on the men’s ladder, and not allow men to play on the women’s ladder? All this one-sided insistence on affirmative action is killing genuine equality.

Or, what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Let her have her way...As a matter of fact, eliminate both men’s and women’s leagues and only have one league for everyone.

And we can take it a step further. How 'bout everyone wins, and gets a trophy....you know....like the kids now-a-days!

On a serious note, as a tournament and league tennis player, I would have no problem having a woman as my opponent. It's all about the competition. These guys need to grow a pair and recognize that they don't want to play her for fear of losing to a woman. If she truly is a 5.5, then she's pretty darn good. That is the level of most Division 1 college players. I also wonder how many of them would make flimsy excuses about playing someone like Jelena Dokic:

[VeniVidiVici]

Her civil rights aren’t being violated. She has nothing to lose by not being able to play men. Why is she suing let along suing for money?

Watch. She’s the kind of bitch that will shut down the whole league if she doesn’t get her way.

[Disambiguator]

I thought the picture pretty much said it all.

[Dixie Yooper]

I'm still waiting for Anna Kournikova to call me for a match.

[the long march]

Sometimes I am amazed at the “logoc” that is used to justify cowardice. If you are in a league play the people in the bracket otherwise take move along move along

[the long march]

Bwahahahahahaha

waaa waaa waa call me an ambulance

[Unassuaged]

These men are wimps, that is all.

Maybe they should work on getting better.
