...but some are more equal than others
Fascinating. Here we are again into the back end of Wimbledon fortnight with the women's semi's and final looming, and to be honest, who cares? Can you name a memorable women's match which has kept you on the edge of your seat, and apart from the Venus sisters can you name a women player who isn't an ...eva,...ova or....vic. Yep some of them are good looking, but worth the same prize money as men, well forget it.
The men's tennis has been fantastic by comparison. Even Roger 'the hat' has played stunning stuff without being stretched, and the other three quarter finals all had drama, characters and crowds who wanted to, and did, get involved. Couple that with the thriller which was Murray's Monday match and the chaps have been earning their money and most of the ladies as well. I would suggest two things..... give the grass back a bit of pace to encourage more serve and volley, and give the girls their own week, then we will see who brings in the crowds.
