Last summer, French Tennis Federation President Bernard Giudicelli made a statement emphasizing that tight-fitting outfits will no longer be allowed at the French Open.

On a different topic, I don't see why the prize money for the women's final is the same as the men's final. The women only play three sets at most and the final often doesn't exceed 2.5 hours. The men's final will often be a five set match exceeding 4 hours.

Grand Slam tournaments should have the women win at least 3 sets if they want to earn the same amount as the men.

Well exception, exception, exception, Williams brothers should be paid the same as men players.

thats an old argument.....

at the end of the day it comes down to BUMS ON SEATS......and the women draw in as many spectators as the men.....

women do not have the strength or staying power of MEN.. we do not carry the muscle mass it takes to stay that long.....

when it comes to strength men will always outlast women.....it isnt a fair playing field.....

fans of tennis are just as happy watching the women as the men......when the stands are empty for the womens final...maybe!

It relies on you being able to change direction very quickly. That puts huge strain on your: ankles, knees & your hip. Too many players end up with appalling injuries that cause them a lifetime of suffering. Don't encourage anyone to play tennis.
