If you look back 100 years and examine women?s tennis, it was a relaxed stately affair. Those sweet ladies in their long skirts, gently batting the ball between them without a care in the world.
Compared to today?s powerhouses with their state of the rackets and massive tennis bags for women, it?s a different world.
It?s taken a while but now the prize money for the big competitions is comparable and the excitement and hype has risen to unheard of levels. Ladies draw big crowds and only the men?s final really upstages everything else.
Once Martina was out of the picture, tennis became super glamorous, but now it?s down to sheer athleticism. Not so much is it about the tiniest dresses or the loudest grunts, but about the best highly trained, expert players.
Its taken a while, but women?s tennis is now in a league of its own and still getting better.
