Tennis has been around for so long - women have been playing the majors since the 1800s. Other sports have not had professional leagues for women for as long.

Tennis is interesting because the women are almost more popular than the men. In the U.S. Open, women even get exactly the same money as the men.

Tennis is definitely a star for women in sports.

I think that tennis is a lady's sport, so we should look out there like ladies.

I grew up in an age where women's tennis did not have similar prizes to men, and they played in complete obscurity, really, compared to the men's game.

Women's tennis has been around for a very long time - we're talking about the 1800s. But women's soccer hasn't had such a long history, so now they're right at the beginning of really trying to make things equal. We need to continue not only to advocate for women but to have men advocating for women.

I think we're actually the only sport that has a mix of men and women competing together. The majority of other sports are separated by gender.

Women are everywhere. We're letting them play golf and tennis now. It's out of control.

Women's sport helps break down a lot of barriers for women in other areas, whether in religion or politics.

Men can have a huge turnover of sponsorship and still survive a lot better than the women. But the women's ratings are better, at least at home in the United States than in the men's tennis.
