Don't really see its relevance

You can list the top 13 tennis players from any country. Only if they have won a Slam do they register on the world stage.

Li Na. That's it from China.

As for your 2 youngsters, good luck to them. I would refer you to my sentence above sta ...[text shortened]... er performance level and less time in court (3 vs 5 sets)

Anything meaningful to say on that?

Even worse than equal prize money now woman want equal playing time on centre court.
As their games last half the time how can that work?

Note it was a thumb free friendly thread until the racistD64 showed up with the non relevant wiki links

Do they? I would imagine it is equal MATCHES, surely?

Take the thumbs down from D64 as a compliment

Obviously she/he has read my reply, cannot answer coherently (no change there), so puts a thumbs down up

and no engagement with your men v women standards in tennis

Maybe she/he is still looking for a 2nd half decent Chinese snooker player!

The post that was quoted here has been removed

OK...so can you provide figures to compare arable land ( over here that equates to LOW population, as it is countryside) , population, area in some sort of table of , shall we say, 'forced' population density, from a reputable source, maybe in the form of the table that I called up from your beloved Wiki in 2 mins?

Did I say 'uniquely'? I don't think so. Am I missing some forum etiquette? Must be my woeful ignorance.

Oh, I see, re read my post. I ask the honest question ' is D64 saying China is UNIQUE in this', and am harangued for that!

At least D64 is conceding that her point is not unique to China ( I think ), and thence extremely weak.

But I could just be woefully ignorant...

Bloody Cambridge, eh? Take anyone in!

I would also say that China seemed to have little problem in producing athletics training facilities and swimming pools to prepare their sportspersons for an assault on World records and gold medals in these sports in the first part of the 21st century

Which seems to have sadly stalled recently. Hmmm. Wonder why?

Stricter drug testing would be my guess
China seems to have suffered the most
Maybe just a coincidence

The ignorant racist troll Roma keeps spewing (great word!)....... (how come YOU seem inmmune from her/his rants?!)

Maybe the drugs testers were racist

Concentrating on those sweet Chinese athletes and swimmers

Still not seeing much engagement on your thread's title from D64

Just mention China's "great" human rights record
You can quote wiki if you want that shuts the racist troll up
Pure kryptonite
Check the debates thread unarmed white woman shot by us police
No interest it seems. But if it was a black drug using mugger the troll would be out in force

I don't really watch tennis much, but when I do I prefer watching women's.

the best part of women's tennis is the grunting of Sharapova

I just like to see which one I think is better looking and root for her.

Do the same thing in women's gymnastics.

Careful watching women's tennis can cause wrist injuries

So you think horses and females are the same? I'm guessing they keep you out of the paddocks.

Hey, you're the one who roots for the best looking participant.

Please tell me you don't watch sumo wrestling?
