Deuce? Why women continue to experience sexism in tennis

By Alexander Morgan - posted Wednesday, 18 November 2015


True, Williams has had her controversial moments, but if her tennis was all that did the talking then she would be the sports highest paid athlete.

In 1973, Billy Jean King proved that women can outclass men at tennis when she defeated Bobby Riggs in straight sets 6-4, 6-3, 6-3.

Women's tennis has come a long way since then. However, something in tennis still needs to change so that Williams is afforded the same opportunities as Federer has been.

Her career has been far more impressive than Federer's and she could very well defeat him on the tennis court if their paths ever crossed!
