Stop treating women as inferiors.

let them play five sets.

women run triathlons, marathons. So why
do we let them suffer the three set humiliation.

damn it - freedom.Tongue Out

Demanded & got the same money as men but I suspect if they were asked to play best of five most would scream blue murder Crazy

Not at all - they want it.

equality is great.

They are not treated as inferiors

In sport they are inferior because they cannot compete against men

Equestrian events they can compete, because the horse does most of the work

if one judges it by the amount of money they generate as sport is now entertainment

I stil do not think they come out as equal


Still if people think there is equality that is there right?????

Don't men play 3 sets as well in most tournaments?

no one wants to watch women play best of five. tennis and athletics are only sports where women get nearly as much attention as men.

Au contraire.
6-1, 6-3 barely gives me time to grab the Kleenex.
30 minutes or so more surely.
Unless it's Serena, obviously.

Serena Williams plays singles and doubles on the same day. She earns far more prize money than men who are unable to physically do this. But not of the top men speak out due to the hysteria

5 sets for women? Who wants to watch more WTA?!?!?!
Report Jack Hacksaw • July 12, 2016 7:29 AM BST
Women who only ever play 3.  In the name of equality, many advocate them playing the same number of sets as men.

Men seem to play 5 sets in slam event, 3 in others.

So maybe 3 is too short and 5 too long.

Need to devise a scoring system so a game lasts midway between the two.

Maybe have 5 sets but first to 5 games.

the reason it is not 5 sets in every tournament is that the strain it would put on players over the course of a season would be too much,

it is manageable for a limited number of events, majors.

it would be manageable in this way for womens tennis probably also.

The women can't be happy to play less sets, surely? Can't the 'handle' an extra set or two? Ridiculous! If they want equality, if they're not inferior to men then play a full game. Women play 90 minutes of football, 18 holes of golf, 501 in darts, 100m sprint...

For certain they don't do 5 sets because of stamina concerns. Most mens wrists can't hold out that long. Plain
Report Jack Hacksaw • July 12, 2016 9:40 AM BST
Is tennis the sole sport with such stamina concerns?
Report zorrostrikes • July 12, 2016 9:50 AM BST
they should do extra
to make up for past years
seven sets ?
