It's a reasonable question. Maybe they should announce it as part of the stats.I wonder if sometimes when a top female player comes up with a clunker of a match and unexpectedly loses, if she might have been effected by “that time of the month.” This is a subject that I have never seen addressed, but it must have a deleterious impact on a woman trying to win a match in a gruelling sport like tennis.

It was the only logical explanation, she retired from tennis at age 28. Never forget, Henin won 7 Majors when the Williams sisters were in their prime.I wonder if sometimes when a top female player comes up with a clunker of a match and unexpectedly loses, if she might have been effected by “that time of the month.” This is a subject that I have never seen addressed, but it must have a deleterious impact on a woman trying to win a match in a gruelling sport like tennis.
