Why is women's tennis so hard?

Question

This is not meant as a sexist post. I&#x27;m simply wondering why in women&#x27;s tennis MUCH more than men&#x27;s tennis, they lose their serve so easily?? (Koukalova match in mind). My thought is that in the men&#x27;s game they can serve it much better compared to most guys returning abilities. Besides only a select few women on the top of the rankings, I don&#x27;t believe any of the women&#x27;s players are amazing on serve compared to their opponents ability to return. Anyone else have any thoughts? This is why I&#x27;m starting to stop betting women&#x27;s tennis even if I had a strong feel for a match. At any time a drastic change in momentum can occur in the women&#x27;s game, I think much more than the men&#x27;s

Weaker serves in general, so when they aren&#x27;t serving well with first serves, the second serve is a teed up lob to the opponent.

If you have a bet on the match, JUST DON&#x27;T WATCH, unless you like torturing yourself.  Obviously, you are watching this match. Also, men&#x27;s game can be just as frustrating.  Haas two set points against a walking flagpole, and Bagdhatis 2/12 on break points vs Nadal who&#x27;s 2/2.

Yea... Womens is tough to watch if you&#x27;re betting on it. Boils down to emotional control and yea, size difference between men and women. The men hold cause they&#x27;re 6&#x27;1" and taller so they have more leverage, angles and percentage of muscle mass to create a serve tough enough to take advantage. It&#x27;s not sexist. Men and Women are different. Women are chemically wild compared to men when it comes to hormones so yea, the momentum swings are huge in womens. Some people might see that as criticism but it&#x27;s really just a difference.

Man do I hear ya. I have Z. Diyas at the end of a huge parlay. I have vowed like 4 times to not include her. SHE HAD 6 FREAKING MATCH POINTS TO CLOSE IT OUT (40-0 &amp; 40-15) and lost the set and is now pissing all over the court. The swings in emotion with some of these women is actually kind of startling sometimes. Oh well, my mistake betting her again

I couldn&#x27;t believe she got 3 match points at 40-0, then 3 more the next game. I never learn my lesson with her. She allllways seems to get broken serve
