SIR – How fit the men singles tennis players have to be in world class competition.
They often play for three to five hours with almost no break at all.
Yet vastly overpaid soccer players of today struggle through 90 minutes play with numerous substitutes and 15 minutes break at half-time.
The footballers feel hard done by if they have to play twice in a week, yet their tennis counterparts are often on court again within 48 hours, repeated perhaps about six times if they reach the final. These are two different worlds!
