Get someone to carry these players tennis bags off the court.

[Bjorn99]

These guys play four hours in grand slams and they have to carry their own bags weighing probably 12lbs each over their exhausted shoulders?

Let me get it straight, they get umbrella's held over them to keep sun off them. BUT no one carries their bags off the court.

Dumb and dumber.

Why isn't common sense used here?

And its really starting to bug me that the guys play these draining matches and the women play two out of three. Don't get me wrong I am grateful I don't have to watch five sets of womens tennis, but equal pay?

Dumb again.

I remember being a touring player, much lower ranked than these guys, and one of the most arduous things was to hump around two huge bags of racquets and the like over your shoulders after giving it your all on the court.

Surely with these multi million dollar players/assets, they could use common sense and have a volunteer carry their bags to the players changing rooms.

I use an Amazon drone. It also fills the bag with any depleted stuff by ordering online.

so, whenever you feel like having a steak in the middle of a match, a simple click will do the trick ?...

Then I need to get the Amazon Prime service.

Got the joke?

None of them seem to care very much, I'm sure they can carry a couple of bags after a match. Hardly any of them seem to care about women being paid equal either. From what I hear many of the women want to play best of five anyway or are willing to but the organisers wouldn't want to do that as it would affect the scheduling.

It's a great tradition because it means there is still something players do for themselves on court (other than actual play).

Feel like the suppliers could be a bit more ambitious with the gear bags. Appreciate that they've gone to the triple-wide backpacks that can accommodate a baker's dozen racquets. But why not get a more substantial frame on them that could double as court-side seating?

Actually Rafa Nadal mentioned something about this in his book. At Wimbledon is is tradition that a worker carries your bags out to centre court, and he mentioned how he didn't like it. So there's one multi-million dollar pro that feels the opposite as you @Bjorn99
