The tennis argument got to the point where the women’s counter to men playing more is that no one wants to see 5 sets and all matches should be 3 only :shrug:
Next it will be we need to make goals bigger, pitches smaller and golf should be 15 holes not 18...and all par 3s.
Yeah. Have you never noticed how the Men's final at Wimbledon empties out once it goes past three sets?Quote:
