Tennis is a larger scale ping pong tournament, which I have zero respect for.

That doesn't make any sense.

Says the guy too out of shape to even bend over to pick up a tennis ball.

Tennis is extreme physical activity.

It's not that extreme.

Chick commentator just mentioned it. Saying “goes to show you how much better women take care of themselves” because it was mostly men who retired.
Umm what about the fact that they play 40% more tennis than the ladies?

That cat in the ladder seat should ask if they'd rather play pickleball.

They quit because of the heat? Sounds like LSU fans on game day.

Not enough men sweating in tight pants grabbing each other and bringing them to the ground for you, huh?
Know how I know you don’t play tennis? It’s a very rigorous sport that requires a lot of physical fitness and skill.

Isn't it just in the 90s? You would think professional athletes could handle that, thank god a tournament isn't in Houston.

The sport is a bit too much of an endurance contest now. Djokovic looks like a professional cyclist and he was about to puke early in his match yesterday. Humans aren't supposed to be running around for five hours in those conditions. Looks like things will cool down in a couple days.

They also just had one in Atlanta in July......
But those are best of 3 set tournaments.......
The way the men play now, a best of 5 sets against even opponents in brutal heat just isnt feasible really
