Why don't the women have to play best of 5. Billie Jean wanted equal pay for equal play. Best of three really allows a hot streak of say an hour to determine the winner. It's not like the can't do it because they are the weaker sex. A women's marathon isn't 60% as long as the men's.

omigod. You wouldn't want it. It would be a scheduling nightmare and insufferable for fans watching bitches choke away 2 set leads, leading to six hour matches when you all you want is to watch the guys play. Fitness is bad enough for some guys. Chicks would be cramping and puking like crazy IMO.

I'm repeating much of what was said above, but you, as a viewer, do not want the women to play in five set matches. The fourth and fifth sets would be played at about the level of a men's 4.5 level player, but only intermittently between injury timeouts. Vegas would begin setting over/unders on the total number of trainer calls per match.

I was thinking this same thing last night, has this ever been brought up to the right people when women tennis players are complaining about the pay?
