Both false!! Just because men play best of 5 in slams doesn't mean the matches are better if anything half the time they get messy and are boring!! Best of 3 to me is so much better anyway. Also ladies tennis is much more exciting with longer rallies.

This men are stronger than women lark as well total rubbish!!! All what goes on in our bodies makes us the stronger sex by far if you ask me!!!!

Lowest-ranked ATP player is #1976, lowest-ranked WTA player is #1157.

So it's obvious ATP has more depth, and that can be seen in the top 10. Plus Bo5 makes it more difficult to win a slam for men who are one step below the top.

Doesn't mean men's tennis is better, or mean men are stronger than women.

You are seriously deluded. Here are the facts of life, men are stronger than women, mens tennis is several times the quality of WTA and for God's sake woman, the rallies in ATP are FAR longer. Have you not watched a mens semi/final in the last 10 years? These guys play for so long they can hardly stand when its over.

So you believe just because a man's match goes on for 5 hours plus its better than a ladies match? Not true. Look i like both ladies and men's tennis but i don't feel men's is superior thats all. I like watching both and i feel both are entertaining or sometimes both not.

The men play with more variety and spin, so mens tennis is better. If you doubt this then I am sorry but you don't know what tennis is.

Most WTA matches are shitfests. The top seeds shit all over the lower ranked players with bagels and breadsticks. While the middle ranked players have 3 set battles over who wants to lose the match more. Then finally when the top seeds meet in the finals, one of them has to go and have their periods or whatever and play like shit, so much for the build-up.

Very rarely do you get a high quality match on the womens tour. Stuttgart last year was good, but that's about it.

So if you think this what are you doing on a women's tennis forum? Just out of interest.

He's right

Zvonareva, Vika, Hingis have all had massive meltdowns and that's just 3 that spring to mind.

It's not very hard : men's tennis is superior to women's tennis because if a male player with a ranking plays any women player, she will win 6 games at best in a best of three match. Men have better technique, more power, more stamina, more speed, and yes, are on average steadier mentally. You might like to watch WTA better, doesn't change this.

You don't know this as a fact, and i doubt we will ever get to find out.

Pretty sure Serena got her arse kicked and she cant even beat her hitting partner.

There is no female player with the toughness of a Ferrer/Djokovic.

Oh I'm very much aware of those particular ATP moments and Jeff Tarango as well but there's absolutely no way the men are as volatile emotionally as the women ABSOLUTELY no way - Serena several times, Lisicki several times, Kournikova in Paris vs Novotna 1998, Venus Wimbledon also vs Novotna 1998. I haven't even started digging and trawling through footage this is all from memory. THAT'S MY POINT.
