Ladies game is superior to men

Men’s tennis peaked a couple of years ago. For the first time I can remember there were many more interesting and competitive matches in the women’s singles at Wimbledon year than the men’s.

Roger Federer winning the main event without dropping a set is a cause for concern. Where are the next superstars hiding? There are vacancies at the top now that Andy Murray (above) and Novak Djokovic have pushed their bodies beyind breaking point.

Rafa Nadal was the only man likely to test Federer at Wimbledon and he ran into a serving giant who played the game of his life.

The unpredictability of the ladies game without Serena Williams is making their sport more interesting.
