"Female sportswomen rarely get as much air-time as men, and there are still not enough women in the top jobs in sport, but things are improving," he wrote. "No other sport is doing as much as tennis, and it's great to be part of a sport that is leading the way...Hopefully tennis can put pressure on other sports to do the same." 。
