MS is _way_ more competitive, so I really don't think that this plays a large role in why women tend to retire earlier
I think no.1 cant be the justifiable parameter to measure a players talent its rather their Major Achievements cause there are a few World no.1's with not a single major tittle.
Yeah, of course, there's also biological reasons which affect ladies more than the men, as you've mentioned, including setting up a family, having children (esp. delaying motherhood until 30 is undesirable). As for competitiveness, in MS it's also more of a young man's game, LCW is a rare exception.
Completely disagree. In WS it's always the very best players in the world that have won the titles and made the finals in the past years. From quarter final stage at the very least, you are mostly dealing with PVS, AY, NO, CM, SN, CYF, HBJ, RI and the best player of all time and usually have to deal with a combination of those. Look at MS, especially in 2017: SK won three titles where had to play only a single seeded player and had finals against Sakai, Nishimoto and LHI. Unthinkable in WS. It has shifted slightly this year with the return of KM and Ginting improving, but it's still not WS.
Nice, minions. They won G1. They play better than yesterday. Marcus's challenge was smart. His serve was in very closely.
Too easy.. It just will not work when you are 1 game down and 15-15 at G2. Nervousness is just gripping Kamura. Just cant think of not losing will make you lose more.
