Before the match, the comment-kluckers were comparing the forehands, the backhands , the first serves, and the second serves of both. What a waste of time !! Let's be real because what really matters is how confident a tennis player is ,or will they fall apart not physically but mentally-emotionally and self-defeat themselves. Both were obviously so nervous in the first few games--Serena pounding balls into the net, hitting balls off the court,,,and Henin hitting long which is sooo high school--that it was a matter of who was going to self-defeat first, rather than who could play better tennis.
Men's tennis is played at such a higher skill level than women's tennis. It is like day and night. Serena would not last one game with Federer or win one point in a match!! But the usual winners and usual losers in women's tennis keep playing and making millions, even at such embarrassing sloppy emotionally-frail high school level of play. When will women's tennis reach a skill level, not just pay level, even 70-80% of that of men's tennis !? And the commentators keep ignoring the obvious and bla-bla-bla-ing,,,
I CAN NOT WATCH,,,the level of play is just too low and embarrassing for the term 'professional'(does that just mean getting paid to play?),,,and it looks, again, like the more talented player will have confidence problems and Henin self-destruct,,,
