    One in eight men who responded to the survey. Come on now probably only one in eight men even play tennis. More men play basketball for fucks sake

      Probably not a tonne of people responding to a British polling agency’s survey play basketball, but otherwise yeah. If we go by viewrship figures for the men’s final at Wimbledon, a little over an eighth of the country watches a game of tennis once a year

          Apparently our national men’s team is ranked 48th, in between fellow basketball titans Senegal and Sweden

          I guess we don’t really have a British equivalent that is a household name recognisable to non-fans in the way the Williams sisters are. We’ve got a few men who fit the bill, but that obviously doesn’t work for the question. If you need to name a woman that everyone immediately knows is really god damn good at tennis, one of the Williamses is probably gonna be the go-to regardless of where you ask
