The last desperate resort of any poster is to call an American a Canadian.

There's no question that womens' tennis and mens' tennis are two different games. Count up the number of aces in any given match -- particularly on a fast surface like grass. A male player with nothing more to his name than a strong, booming serve can run deep into the tournament at Wimbledon simply by cranking out 40-50 aces when he's on serve (Goran Ivanisevic won Wimbledon a couple of years ago as an unseeded has-been by serving a record 213 aces).

A "first serve" from a male player like Andy Roddick can exceed 150 miles per hour. A female player with a "strong, booming serve," on the other hand, would be hard-pressed to reach 125 mph on her serve.

This stark difference between men and women explains why it's so difficult for male players to dominate all four Grand Slam tournaments.

Now that, coming from a guy that lobbed nasty, unsubstantiated, racist smears at Serena Williams, is simply laughable.

That's like saying kids soccer is different from adults soccer.
Women's sports of every kind is different from men's sports of the same kind. That is new how?
That is why we have women's sports and men's sports seperate at the Olympics. Just because women are in general not as physically strong as men, doesn't make it any easier for women to beat other women.
Get back to me when you have anything that makes any sense to say will ya?

Yeah?
Is that why no woman has been able to win the grand slam in tennis in the same calender year since Steffi Graf?
In fact only Serena has even won all 4 slams since Steffi.
If it's so easy to dominate in women's tennis, how come other women haven't won the grand slam in calander year after Steffi?
