I am terribly sorry to inform you all of this. Tennis is the harder of the two sports. I am experienced and aged in each. Hands down tennis takes far more skill and more intensive training. Stroke awareness are equall in each sport… Yet you need three strokes for tennis serve, backhand,forehand… Not to mention net game chops etc… O yeah and we arent standing in one always easy position… Weather has effects on both so equall there… Training… Well if you reach a high lvl… It is obvious that tennis is the more extensive and athletic and skilled of the two sports… I am sorry. I am a fan of both… But to set the record straight i felt compelled to have the truth out there.

‘Gore’s record is 100 years old and will stand forever’

I disagree. Improved bio technology will see athletes bodys last longer. Might take a few decades tho!

Golf requires more skill like chess requires more skill. Tennis requires athleticism and is therefore a sport as golf is a game like checkers, chess or poker.

FU, that’s idiotic. Tennis not only requires incredible skill but absurd athleticism at that level. You can be a fat, drunk, sloth of a cow and still win at golf.

Golf–so easy, 100-year-olds have hit holes in one.

End of story.

Golf requires a lot more skill than tennis, BTW.
Go, hit a few balls, let’s see where they end up.

Good analysis and timely, but go easy on Jack…he has a new hip too!
