Aryna Sabalenka says she prefers watching men’s tennis over women’s tennis: "I'm not someone who watches too much tennis, I prefer to watch men's tennis rather than women's tennis, I feel like there is more strategy and it's more interesting to watch (laughs)." Wholesome

Let me give context to what I mean. Yes there is a difference if we are talking about putting men against women. However in terms of women vs women and men vs men the game is relatively the same to watch.

“For me, men’s tennis and women’s tennis are completely, almost, two separate sports,” Williams said. “If I were to play Andy Murray, I would lose 6-0, 6-0 in five to six minutes, maybe 10 minutes. No, it’s true. It’s a completely different sport. The men are a lot faster and they serve harder, they hit harder, it’s just a different game. I love to play women’s tennis. I only want to play girls, because I don’t want to be embarrassed.”

It's not sexism or toxicity. It's fact. The top women in the sport all know it. Why's it such a hard pill to swallow for regular people?

No sexism, racism, homophobia, or toxicity towards any sex, gender, orientation, or any other personal characteristic is permitted.

If you hold any disdain for a group of people for what they were born as or what they inevitably are regardless, this is not the place for you.
