Wimbledon 2012

Why can't women players serve properly? Only the Williams sisters have a powerful, man-style serve - the rest look like when I serve.
Women are less muscly but in pro sport I'm still surprised we don't see more big strong players like Venus/Serena.

Sure but pro sport is about the closest thing we have to a meritocracy... and Venus/Serena dominated for years without being pinups.


Although I just saw Sharapova is 6'2" which seems very surprising.

Are all the English women out yet?

Or does that come on day 2?

Heather Watson is the only GBR woman competing. Never heard of her.
