Are people seriously that bothered about the "women's" singles? Most of them are just wannabe blokes (Mauresmo for example) and try and play like them. I'd much rather see the best in the world rather than a low quality gruntathon between a Williams brother and someone else. What makes it even more sad is the disproportionately high amount of money the 'women' get compared to the men.

No it wasn't, much rather watch Grosjean v Roddick. If the women's final is Mauresmo v Venus it'll just highlight how repellent the women's game is.Jono said:Venus vs. Sharapova was a brilliant match Scaly. You're entitled to your opinion, but you're in the minority here

Is any one stopping you from not watching womens tennis? NOScaly piscine said:
But you have no right to criticise it. Its sport - competitive and played between equals. If you criticise a specific sport calling it repelling without specific reasons, you criticise sport itself.
Sidhu made a point earlier how he didnt like watching the womens cricket. He clarified though that he didnt discredit them and its good they play but he just doesnt like it. If you have such a stand its okay. But to go head and toe on the womens game just because you dont like it is wrong.

What the hell has the first sentence got to do with anything?Pratyush said:
Second paragraph... still nonsense, the reasons were given before, it's just a rubbish version of men's tennis with most of the best players being borderline female at best. If you want to see all the power etc. why would you watch the equivalent of like number 500 versus number 501 in the world when you can watch the very best in the world playing 5 sets?
Women's tennis at the moment doesn't have anything going for it compared to men's tennis, there's no more finesse, style or personalities. Just a bunch of robotic women on too much testosterone trying to outgrunt each other.

Why dont you stop following all womens sports cause as mens 100 metres is so faster than womens 100 metres, men can jump so much more higher and the 500 501 logic applies there as well.Scaly piscine said:
Regarding finesse etc you have got Hennine, Cljisters and Schnyder, and so many others and frankly every one has a different game.

1st set federer 6-3, up a break in the 2nd, 4-3....if it were someone with lesser fighting qualities....i would've said this match is effectively over.....but if anyone can come back against roger in that situation, it is lleyton....tall order though...Pratyush said:

So I take it you follow cricket down to the dad and his 5 year old kid playing in their back garden right?Pratyush said:
And of course you've also gone out of your way to follow every single game in the first round of Wimbledon regardless of how hopeless the two players might be?
Also I wasn't discounting a sport overall.
now the 2nd set gone...6-4...just 2 unforced errors for roger against 14 winners....that's called cruising....you can see the desperation in hewitt's face....

All over red rover.
Playing against Federer, even at his 80%, is just like playing against a brick wall. Except when your playing against Federer, you can't smash the ball against it really hard to make it rebound back long. And the brick wall of Federer seems to have some sort of rubbery thing that makes the ball come back twice as hard. And it has a brain.
