Re: Women\'s tennis: Why only three sets?
[ QUOTE ]
Most of the women on the WTA tour would never last to a 5th set. The level of play would degrade immensely, likely to the point of embarrassment.

This is sort of a circular answer though. Currently, 3 sets are the norm, so that's what women train for. Increasing that to 5 would change the training practices, where maybe they would be able to last 5 sets. Women seem to do fine in many more grueling endurance events, I don't see why 5 sets is beyond them.
