WTA Tennis- overpaid and untalented

[kentdougal]

Hi All
The Williams sisters are a head and shoulders above the rest of the tour. The rest of the fat unfit lot should be prosecuted for taking money under false pretences

[Goldikova]

How much did you lose ?

Hi
Nothing I don’t bet on tennis just fed up with watching unfit overweight women being paid huge amounts of money to lumber about playing hugely unimaginative tennis

[Goldikova]

Don’t watch it then

…perhaps if they were to play best of 5 sets, they might lose some of this weight that so offends you. I agree that, at times, the tennis does not deserve the pay cheque.

I recall Dan Maskell once calling a young player in her early years as ”fat”. That was Martina Navratilova, so best not give up on them…kent.

Last time I watched tennis was by accident. Two seven foot tall Czech/Russian/Hungarian gentlemen were smashing the ball at one another for what seemed like an eternity until one of them slipped and enabled the other to score a point. I was underwhelmed.

Then again, I find it hard to tell unimaginative tennis from the imaginative variety.

But in a world where bankers get £690,000 a year for bankrupting their er….bank and mediocre Premier League footballers claim £100,000 a week to fall over in an unconvincing fashion, I can live with some tennis players possibly being a little overpaid.

At the moment, I’m bored watching little men in colourful blouses hitting horses with sticks. Come Alice Plunkett’s annual Festival homage to Ruby Walsh I may feel the urge to vomit uncontrollably. Alternatively, I may take the excellent advice offered earlier in this thread, utilise one of my marvellous opposable thumbs and change the channel.
