Why 2008 commentators in wimbledon steriotyping?

Question

Zheng vs Williams, making fun on her height? hmmm.. very unprofessional

Answer 1

A large height advantage like Serena's matters in professional tennis. She has much better angles on the court and more power on serves and overheads, it's just physics.

They could have made some untasteful remarks though, haha.

Answer 2

It isn't really

Answer 3

Are you talking about the BBC commentary? Because mentioning Zheng's height isn't the same as mocking it.

The BBC Tennis Team is the most professional in the world. (Admittedly with one or two exceptions).
