Sure it may be ok to watch, so is golf or lawn bowls, but the audience is mainly interested in the mens
Like the 100m in the olympics etc
Thing is women only play for a couple of hours best of 3 sets, men play best of 5 often twice as long
I would think the 500th best male player would beat the world number1 woman in straight sets
Take this example a 55 year old man beats the world number one womens player, Riggs wasnt even on the circuit ie in top 500
1973: Riggs vs. Court[edit]Riggs had been one of the world's top tennis players in the 1940s; he was ranked year-end
number one three times and had won six major titles during his career, including three Wimbledon titles. After he retired from professional tennis in 1951, Riggs remained a master promoter of himself and of tennis.
[8] In 1973, he opined that the female game was inferior and that even at his current age of 55 he could still beat any of the top female players.
[9]Riggs first challenged Billie Jean King, but when she declined, Margaret Court stepped in. At the time, Court was 30 years old and in the midst of earning her seventh year-end ranking as
number one female player in the world. On the day of their match on May 13,
[10] 5,000 fans came to the
Mother's Day match in
Ramona, California.
[7][1] Televised by
CBS Sports,
[11] Riggs descended the stadium steps and presented Court with Mother's Day flowers, which she accepted while curtsying.
[12][13] Riggs used his
drop shots and
lobs to keep Court off balance. His quick victory (6–2, 6–1) landed Riggs on the cover of both
Sports Illustrated and
Time.
