Ei ainakaan samalla tavalla kuin huippu-urheilijat. En tosin tiedä tekeekö se miesmäisemmäksi, mutta niin joidenkin mielestä on.
Mistä ne sitten tuli? Varmaankin genetiikalla on tähän merkitystä, mutta en ymmärrä keskustelua tässä ketjussa?
En tiedä onko kuvassa Venus vai Serena, mutta he ymmärtävät eron naisten ja miesten tenniksessä, ainakin yhden kokeilun jälkeen:

The bearded Braasch, wearing glasses resembling swimming goggles and a baggy Reebok shirt, looked more like a mad scientist than a tennis pro as he squared off against Serena on Court 17 at Melbourne Park in a match played before a few hundred fans without linespeople, a chair umpire or TV cameras.
"I hit shots that would have been winners on the women's Tour and he got to them easily," Serena said afterward. "This time next year I'll beat him. I have to pump some weight."
Still, the man who conquered both sisters in succession offered them a rematch after hearing Serena's thoughts on the match.
"Apparently, after the game, Serena and Venus immediately told the press they wanted to challenge a male player again," Braasch said. "This time they revised the ranking of the man they wanted to face, to 350 in the world. I informed the journalist who told me this that in the next week I was set to lose a lot of ATP points and drop down to 350 in the rankings. I told him that if Venus and Serena waited just one week they could challenge me all over again!"
"That (rematch) never came about, but when I saw Venus a few months later at the French Open she came up to me with a big smile on her face and said, 'You know that thing in Australia—it never happened!' " Braasch recalled.
Toki jos tarkoituksena vahvistaa eroa naisten ja miesten sarjojen välillä niin ymmärrettävää.
