Women's tennis is becoming less popular now they wear shorts. They need to wear thongs to increase the popularity.

Someone complained about them showing their bottoms so they were made to wear larger knickers.

And a bit more grunting and moaning always brings in the punters. Especially when it is Sharapova! MMmm

You mean the WTA where there is no British interest that is the equivalent of Andy Murray.

Johanna Konta is in the top 10. And don't forget its taken Andy 10 years to reach this level of popularity.

Like the ATP finals you mean? I assume there is a women's version but I never saw it...

I think tennis should be tested . Separate the tournaments and let us see which ones draw the punters

Actually, I do. Maybe you saw the French Open once and thought that's what tennis is always like?

There are a whole clutch of top players in the Men's game that not only regularly beat the top handful, but at the very least take sets off them. Even Murray and Djokovic consistently drop sets to the likes of Del Potro, Nishikori, Raonic, Federer, Tsonga, Nadal, Monfils, Ferrer, Cilic, Wawrinka, Berdych, Karlovic, Kyrgios etc. etc. etc.
That in itself elongates the matches and the overall excitement.
Not sure what "Tennis" you have been watching!!

I see you don't watch much Men's Tennis either.

Sorry but that's not true unless you're watching Murray Vs Djokovic.

Wimbledon Ladies finals are usually less than 90 minutes long. I've seen single sets in the men's last longer than that.

THat's because it's usually the same person on the winning side

You obviously have never watched much women's tennis. By comparison with the Men, their rallies are pitifully short and the overwhelming majority of their matches never even make it to a deciding set.

Women's sets tend to take longer surely as serve is less of a decider... they'd then be playing longer matches than men.

Here's a nice story about a lady who beat all the boys (including the SAS (the regiment, not the blowhard on CUK) possibly) in a race from north to south wales, going over all the pointy difficult bits.

Dunno how, maybe on extreme events like that the differences in physique cancel each other out?
