I'll watch a match or two here and there, but female players just aren't as strong or as fast as male players so there just isn't the same level of intensity.

A large part of her domination of women's tennis is her power. She's a great player all around, but if she couldn't hit the ball so damn hard it would be a much more even playing field. If you look at Serena Williams fastest serve (129 mph, which is the second fastest ever recorded by a woman after her sister's 130) and compare it to the top serve recorded by a man (Samuel Groth 163 mph), or even Andy Murray's best serve (145 mph) it's pretty obvious that her main weapon would be completely gone. 129 mph is pretty average for a man. Wikipedia's ranking only goes to thirty-eight places, but even those serves are 140 mph. Serena Williams would get obliterated in men's tennis.

When I can. Without Cable it's kind of hard to stay up on it though. I'm no expert if that's what you're asking.

Can't you just stream it? I haven't had Sky in over a decade and watch everything illegally. And na just wondering as it was a good post. I watch Wimbledon when it's on but now that a Brit has won it I'm not sure if I care anymore.

I post from a library cause I don't have a computer. Sucks. And I'm kinda pissed that I have to miss the Australian Open just cause they don't wanna put it on network TV.

I don't know. I wouldn't mind watching Anna Kournikova pissing into a glass.

Na it's not, maybe if there's a limited supply of browser links. There are HQ high definition streams of football. Sopcast as well has some superb quality stuff.

I watched the US Open Murray vs Djok in 2012 I think it was? Full HD.

Watching this now, would you say that's poor?

EDIT - And I agree with Batty. I would also add Laura Robson, Heather Watson and Sharapova to that. And Serena Williams. And Sabine Lisicki. Ana Ivanovic...
