This isn't a sexist comment. But why are men so much better at returning serves then women are? There are no genetic differences regarding reaction time so women should be equally able at getting the bigger serves back.
Yet when watching wimbledon the women serving at around 110mph were getting a lot of free points and aces where as in the men's game a serve like that would be coming back with interest.
Women are equally able at anticipating and reacting so i dont know why there is such a big difference with returning

Probably because men have tunnel vision

The famous match between Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King in 1973 where beforehand Bobby Riggs had boasted of his superior male athributes and challenged her to a match and Billie Jean King won in three sets.
Bobby Riggs was a former number 1 and 3 time Grand Slam champion.

The reason why the ball comes back with interest in the mens game maybe because the ball is hit via the serve harder, so the transfer of pace is faster the quicker the ball is.
If you follow cricket batsmen can find it hard to hit the ball with less pace on it as when the ball is of medium pace or a spinner. When its a quick bowler say 85+mph just getting a good timing on the ball can get it to the boundary, little effort as far as trying to hit the ball with pace is required.
This is only an idea but is there any basis that men have quicker reflexes? as this would be of great help,but this maybe rubbish.
