Men don't always play 5 sets either.

"Men play best-of-five matches only at majors and in Davis Cup matches. Other ATP Tour events and all WTA tournaments have a best-of-three-set format. (That men play best-of-five at the Grand Slam events and women do not is an argument used by many critics of equal prize money.)"

Yup, I think she handled it well. I really have no idea how she'd be ranked on the men's tour and I don't care. She is one of the finest and most talented athletes of my generation. She is incredible, talented, and gracious. People have been attacking her for her appearance, her body, her skin color, etc. since she went pro. She's proven them all wrong time and again.

I adore Serena Williams. Truly the finest female tennis player of all time, possibly the finest player of either gender. She's magical on the court.
