- Americans should be banned from competitive tennis. They are generally taller and have longer forearms. And of course, being a Wimbledon champion is wholly reliant on these two factors alone. Mental and physical preparation, training, mindset, level of fitness, tactics, competitor analysis etc. clearly have nothing to do with the match outcome. My position is borne out by the facts - of Wimbledon open women’s single champions, 29 have been American, whereas the whole of the rest of the world has only managed 27. This imbalance needs to be urgently addressed 🤣Paul10118-06-2025
