Well Blake came back from what, getting his neck broken or something. That's got to count for something.

It's Hewitt c'mon!

Close call between Safin and Kafelnikov

I don't think it was ever about women's tennis vs. men's tennis for me. There are some male players I like to watch and some women players. Men's tennis may have superior quality, but that's not everything in sports. Otherwise why would anyone watch college football or March Madness? (which...

Whether that's true or not, Murray would've found a way to lose to whatever competition he was pitted against. So Roddick is still better, until Murray proves otherwise.

Yes, and that's exactly how the market works, my friend. You do what will bring in most profits. It's not hard.

The market has determined the value already. That is equal pay. You know what would be just like Soviet economy? For a bunch of "experts" like you clowns to decide the pay-structure based on your "rational" analysis.

Let's not act like this is all just hypothetical. Women have tried playing best of 5 sets before. It was not pretty. Also, continuous running is pretty much the exact opposite of what you do in tennis. So what is your point?

You probably can't think of any, because there really aren't that many guys who go above 6'3 or so. Also, 90s had guys like Stich, Krajicek, Todd Martin, and plenty of shorter guys around 6'3.

Women are paid the same as men in the majors because that's what the majors decided to do with their money. They don't have to justify to you how they spend their money. If it makes you feel good, don't pay women the same as men in your own life with your own money. In the mean time, Kvitova...

You are free to protest this arbitrary and unjust action of Big Tennis by boycotting all the majors. NFL players and owners are arguing for months about THEIR MONEY. It's a very different thing.

Summary of Mustard's arguments so far: 1. Tennis is a game where fitter people outlast less fit people 2. Some women run marathons, therefore completely different women are equipped to play 5 set matches in a completely different sport. 3. Prize money and number of sets played are somehow...

It must be positively maddening for you to realize that women will always get equal pay at the majors and that that will never change. This is what WTA players think about all this overpaid talk:

And tennis prize money is not determined by the number of sets. So what is your point ultimately? Equal prize money in majors is justified because that's what the majors decided to do with their money. If you don't like it, you are free to take your money out of the majors by refusing to...

Ok then have the tennis players punch in when they start the match. Because why should guys that finish their matches in 2 hours get the same pay as guys who go 5 hours?

And if the majors decided to pay women as if they are second class citizens, the adverse publicity would drive away sponsors and spectators, directly affecting men's pay and women's pay. The really important question is should Nadal be paid equally as Federer, when Federer is so much more...

If animals could play tennis, would they be paid equal prize money? It's likely a pointless question, since animals would have their own tour that is completely independent from people, just as women and men do. Also, majors can choose to pay whatever they want, and they chose to payout equal...

Nadal Charisma = 2 Int = 5 STA = 10 AGI = 9 Dexterity = 20 Wisdom = 9 (if Toni Nadal is coaching from the stands, 16)

I think Roddick and Fed can do it but won't. Grueling schedule etc.

All of them.

There is no debate. Men and women get equal pay now at all majors. It's been that way for years. Get over it.

Actually Prince Fielder, who is a massive (6ft., 280lb.) baseball player, publicly became vegetarian citing treatment of animals in factory farms.

There's quite a few top athletes who are either vegetarian or vegan, in sports as varied as American football and cycling. I read that BJK and Martina are both vegetarians but I wonder if anyone knows they were on veggie diet while competing?

Oh nice, Hingis booty thread. Keep them coming.

Obviously not Lendl, but are there any current or former players who are/were vegetarians?

Nadal is so nice he picks his opponents' butts during changeovers.

Nadal also invented being humble. The word literally had no meaning before Nadal.

I hope this comes out on DVD.

One time, I was riding the bus, and Nadal gave up his seat for me because I was carrying a lot of bags.

I for one would love to see what Jaden has to offer to middle management.
