Funny when masculine terms like 'strength' and 'power' are thrown around in conversations like this, when the revolution in the man's game as come in the fitness and agility department. A lot of the male players, not even just the top players, will run around for 5 sets like their lives depended on it. Serena couldn't cope with that kind of pressure and that is why it's not just Federer, Nadal and Djokovic which would destroy her in a match.

Funny thing is that now in women's tennis there is much more variety between the top 10 and #1, as opposed to the dominance of the Williams in the previous decade or earlier with Graff and Navratilova. There was even an instance where a #1 women's player had not even won a Grandslam. Whereas men's tennis became a one sided affair between Federer, Nadal and Djokovic for the last 15 years. With Federer being the only one who had a chance to play against the retired guard of the late 80s and 90s.

......because men already have power and strength over the women. Same as other sports like Football (soccer) but Football players arent exactly out there bulking to improve their game.

There is always abalance you want to achieve

Well men have bigger lungs than women, so they'd have an endurance advantage just based on that.

two of the best tennis players

Serena, I would argue is probably physically stronger and more powerful than Roger

this would be a very close match, if both at their peak

So that isn't a man on the left?

You should.
Everybody already covered it and gave examples why it couldn't go well for women, not sure why you dragged this out 6 months later.

 

[Pagusas]

To give some credit to women's tennis, it was the first major sport I feel where watching the women's games could be just as exciting and good as watching the men's games. It's taken years for women's soccer to get even remotely close to the excitement of men's soccer, the WNBA will never be there and women's football (American) basically doesn't exist. Golf is probably the next closest major sport.

Its a lose lose situation.

Hahaha you cannot be serious...

No one would have been banned in the old NeoGaf either for saying these things. Nothing here being sad is sexist. Human anatomy and how it works are just facts..

Yes, they would have been - quicker than you could say biology 101.

 

[iconmaster]

The men have more power and can pull more over the top individualised brilliance, but the womens game is better to watch imo because its just a more fundamental style of play

Less than 10% of people probably think Serena could be Roger. It's a stupid hot take and the old GAF wasn't that bad to ban you can not believing stupid things.

Wrong. Merely pointing out there was nothing wrong with being a male got you banned back in 2014.

Uhm yes it was. People were being banned right, left and center for anything that strayed from the insane SJW narrative that had hijacked the forum. You would get banned if you disagreed with the notion that differences between the sexes (such as for instance strength) were just social constructs. It literally was what Reeeeee is now.

You'll always get laughs around here

No you were banned for this pretty easily. The moment you tried to argue that men are biologically stronger than women you get either a straight up ban or a harsh warning. My ban back than was permanent with the comment by mods saying "HAHAHAH NO"
