“Umpiring in tennis is so much worse than other sports, it’s ridiculous. You go to the Open, you get the same people who were working the Easter Bowl for me when I was 12. Or who work for my brother in the juniors right now. I’m serious. It’d be like refs in the NBA doing a CYO game in Great Neck. How can you respect them?”

In the 1980s, John McEnroe was one of the world’s best tennis players and arguably the best in history at displaying anger and arguing with referees. A few years ago, McEnroe was asked about tennis player Serena Williams and replied that she was the best female tennis player in the world. When the interviewer asked why he specified “female,” McEnroe said that if she were to play against men, she would be ranked around 700th. “She’s an amazing player,” he complimented, but men’s tennis “is a completely different story.”
These comments caused a major uproar, and McEnroe was roasted on the grill of political correctness. But reality is on his side. Venus and Serena, sisters and rare athletes who dominated the sport at their peak, claimed they could beat men ranked 200th and below in the world rankings. In 1998, they were challenged by Karsten Braasch, a 31-year-old German player past his prime, known to smoke and drink, who was ranked 203rd. The sisters accepted the challenge and lost 6-1 and 6-2.
After the match, Braasch estimated that they would lose to a man ranked 500th and above, and the sisters updated their claim to 350th in the world and below. Serena even said in an interview: “The truth is that these are completely different sports. Men are much faster, they serve harder, they hit harder. It’s just a different game.”
The “woke” gender agenda tries to blur any sexual characteristic, including biological ones. But the truth is self-evident: women have many qualities and advantages, but there are objective physiological differences between the sexes. Modern science confirms this from every angle, and today it characterizes in depth, at the genetic and hormonal level, even the extreme cases where biological sex takes on atypical characteristics.
These extreme cases have contributed to individuals with male characteristics being identified as women and competing against women in various sports. For example, Caster Semenya from South Africa, a world champion runner and gold medal winner, sparked controversy due to her ambiguous gender. Similarly, at the last Olympics in France, Taiwan and Algeria won gold in women’s boxing, with boxers who had previously been disqualified on the grounds that they had a Y chromosome and high testosterone levels.
In response to the public outcry, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said there is no clear scientific test that determines whether these boxers have a physiological advantage and that their gender is unclear. But this is a poor excuse, as it is clear that there is a biological and physiological difference between them and the women they defeated. These women are being harmed in the name of the “woke” agenda of sports organizations, which deny reality and accordingly hide the results of medical tests.
