Why can they not play tennis?
You say Serena has an unfair advantage because of her physique, then say that girls like that can't even play tennis. That don't make sense.
Your,re right it doesnt make sense,what I'm trying to say is most of the girls with her power and strength don't play tennis,all the girls playing tennis are pretty damn all the same physique cept her of course,its not her fault she has that but she has an advantage over all the girls on the tour. -

Australian Open: Roger Federer beats Rafael Nadal to win 18th Grand Slam title
Roger Federer won his 18th Grand Slam title and first for five years with a thrilling five-set victory over Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open final.
The 35-year-old Swiss won 6-4 3-6 6-1 3-6 6-3 to claim his fifth Melbourne title and extend his lead at the top of the all-time men's major winners' list.
Nadal, 30, remains tied in second with Pete Sampras on 14 Grand Slams following his first final since 2014.
Federer's previous major title came at Wimbledon in 2012
Federer's achievement in ending his drought is all the more remarkable given this was his first tournament since Wimbledon last July, after which he took the second half of the season off to recover from a knee injury.
He becomes the first man in history to win five or more titles at three different Grand Slam events - five Australian Opens, five US Opens and seven Wimbledons.

Australian Open 2018: Novak Djokovic should involve women in prize money fight - Martina Navratilova
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova has urged Novak Djokovic and other male players who want higher prize money to "get together with the women".
Djokovic used last Friday's ATP players' meeting at the Australian Open to propose the formation of a union to fight for greater financial reward.
Navratilova supports that but warned the 12-time Grand Slam champion paying men more than women is not the answer.
"We really need to pull together and not against each other," she said.
"Certainly, giving more money to the men than the women is not a solution. That's the wrong thing to do and I wish that Novak would see that.
"The biggest reason why these majors are so big and so important and so meaningful is because both men and women play in them and contribute equally.
What are sports stars today? Gods or something.How much do they all need to live on they are simply above reality.Im not against equal pay like all firemen firewomen do the same job like bank clerks and so on but to say women deserve equal pay in tennis is utter garbage,Their match can be over in an hour but the mens 5,so wheres the logic?

Australian Open: Marin Cilic beats Rafael Nadal to reach semi-finals
World number one Rafael Nadal retired hurt in the fifth set of an enthralling quarter-final against Marin Cilic at the Australian Open.
The top seed was in visible pain on court and Cilic of Croatia will now face British number two Kyle Edmund in the semi-finals following his 3-6 6-3 6-7 (5-7) 6-2 2-0 victory.
It was only the second time in 264 Grand Slam matches that Spaniard Nadal has retired - the last being against Briton Andy Murray in the quarter-finals of the 2010 Australian Open.
Speaking following the match, Nadal said he would provide an update on his injury after an MRI scan on Wednesday.
"Now is not the moment to say what's going on or what's not going on because we really don't know yet," said Nadal.
He did, however, repeat his assertion that players are suffering injuries because of the surfaces they play on.
Very unlucky,The Wilshere of tennis

Always knew that Kyle Edmund was South African.
Andy Murray seems particularly Scottish these days too. -

Roger Federer into Australian Open final after Hyeon Chung retires
Roger Federer made it through to a record seventh Australian Open final when South Korean Hyeon Chung retired in the second set of their semi-final.
The Swiss led 6-1 5-2 when 21-year-old Chung was forced to call it quits, three games after being treated for a blister on his left foot.
Defending champion Federer, 36, goes on to face Croatian sixth seed Marin Cilic in Sunday's final.
The world number two is seeking a sixth Australian and 20th Grand Slam title.
A bit of fortune but the man is probably as in Ali,s own words,THE GREATEST. -
