Tennis

I think it probably did get some eyes on tennis that usually wouldn't watch, so in that way it did kind of serve a purpose. If it was universally just treated like a bit of fun (as Kyrigos and Sabalenka did seem to do) it would have been fine, sadly the brainrotted BBC presenters tried to make it out to be something it wasn't. Felt a bit sorry for Annabel having to sit with the other two clowns.

Just remember women still get paid more then the guys.

Only in the slams. 4 events a year. Rest of the season they get paid less for playing same sets.

Majority of players earn their living on the tour, not the slams

One chance serving for both makes no sense at all, give them both usual rules or reduce the K's only!

Yeah that was a silly rule to have.

Strange match with the different court size, I dont think this will ever catch on

Equality. It actually makes the whole thing even more ridiculous.

That was preposterous but perfectly highlights the gulf between male and female sports and why men should stay the hell away from women's games.

They do/did, but that is due to the WTA. ATP makes up the difference in prize money when it's not x amount. WTA has the option to, but since it's so poorly run, hasn't had the interest or the real finances to do so.

It will get better now, with the new commercial agreement.
