Damn, watching the final on catch up,and now I see it’s two sets 🙁
Generally agree with ladies tennis from an entertainment perspective but this final is very different. Very hard hitting and athleticism. I play a lot of tennis and probably wouldn’t get a point off them.
Noteworthy how Venus’ volume rises depending in the importance of the point.
IMO few ladies sports compete from an overall entertainment perspective and absurd TI ask for equal pay. But, for a learning perspective their game (despite what I said about not getting a point) is much closer to men’s amateur play and hence men can learn a lot from their games whereas men pros are at a level that is irrelevant to most amateurs.
Ditto golf, lady pro players are clubbing much the same as me, so I can learn from how they play a course. Male pros are playing a different game altogether
Back to admiring Garbine and Venus – impressive stuff!
