Women's final - Australian Open

I don't mean to be blunt, but you don't.

I agree... although I do believe most players need to know how to use a change of pace a lot better than they do. Hingis did this brilliantly and used a slow, topspin shot at the right moments to get opponents back behind the baseline and would often drive the reply into the open court or if the opponent tried to "moonball" back she would take it out of the air. Few players at the moment have the presence of mind to use this tactic, or they use it at the wrong time. Caroline Wozniacki likes to mix the pace but sometimes she drops it way short in doing so - has to be deep.

^ moonball is one of the best tactics around if people know how to use it properly or patient enough to use it.

todays players don't really know how to play tennis- they just know how to wail on the ball. Serena hits soo many errors because she has poor technique- her point of contact on the forehand changes everytime she hits the ball. When she dominated, it was with the 1-2 punch, players are better able to get her big shots back now more often- hence, all her errors.

you are right, maybe the court need to be smaller for women's tennis because they can't run as fast to get the balls.

Nah that would cost too much.
Maybe two bounces are allowed perhaps.

I stopped watching the womens tennis because all it is are a couple of women constantly dominating.
