It was in 1992.jimmy Connors had been slating women's tennis,so was forced into a put-up or shut-up match with Martina Navratilova.connors only got one serve and had to cover the whole court (doubles area).He thrashed Navratrilova in straight sets (7-5,6-2).
Had he lost the women would have been shouting..'See..we ARE equal.'
For a fair contest both parties must have the same rules otherwise what's proven?
If I challenged Linford Christie to a 100m race and I got to start 50 meters closer.If I won would that make me a better sprinter?/Of course not.
Will we now get the best of 5 sets from the ladies? I doubt it, so where is the equality/
The men are now paid at a lower hourly rate..discrimination?/
