Mane ought to be one of the freshest players there.
That comparison is not good at best - they have breaks between each game in a set, when they are serve etc.. Also most games do not last that long if they have easy opposition in the tournaments and win all their sets in one go. Take someone like Sampras - who use to Ace his way through with first server, and second serve when required.
But the rest thing in football is in my opinion dependant upon the style of football the manager employs - we know from last season we cannot maintain the intensity from game to game as we found out last Dec/Jan by winning one game in 9. Plus ours is a physical contact sport with a intense sprinting in our style of play so injuries are likely.
Did you think Rodgers was a genius when he rested the whole first team against Real Madrid?
Soft feminine sport....stopped there

You can never attach equivalence to any sport in fairness but top class tennis is brutal, it requires supreme concentration and fitness, they play every other day and I never hear the tired shite so often trotted out in football, tiredness is an excuse in my opinion, one I will never be swayed from.
Anyway I’ve posted too much today, I’m tired now
Yeah sure brutal. And all the players that played 7 4-hours matches in 2 weeks are?
No idea, but the point stands, they play for hours every other day, often under the blazing sun, is this not true.? Do you really think top class tennis is a soft sport, I mean really?
Tennis isn't as taxing on the body.
I only ever watch Wimbledon and i remember players dropping like flies. Novak pulled out injured and that fella Federer beat in the final was playing hurt.
Nonsense, constant twisting and turning and sudden stops.....for hours
And that’s without mental “tiredness”, tennis is far more mentally taxing than football
in the longest tennis match ever played, between John Isner and Nicholas Mahut at the 2010 Wimbledon championships, which lasted 11 hours 5 minutes, it is estimated that the two players covered around 9.6km (6 miles) each. So in the longest tennis match ever played, the players still did not cover the same amount of ground as a standard footballer would.
Mate I like tennis. No probs with it. A little irritating only that the Swedes have always been good at it those posh bastards....
however, people complain on our game not being so energic as last autumn. People went crying about us loosing pace last January. And now people complaining that we rotate when the games come often. We might have dropped critical points but in a derby that happens. We played well, limited Everton to complete one pass every minute. I think they had two touches in our box. Even Shit Sam spent his whole post match presser talking about the one good pass they managed the whole gane....But we just didn't take our chances. Like the smug tennis players in their headbands,white piques and tight shortses it can happen.
In his Wimbledon final in 2017 Federder covered just over 1km in one hour 40 minutes.

Shut the fuck up you thunderously stupid cunt.
Exactly - plus between sets and games they get to sit down and drink orange squash and have a banana to juice up their concentration for the next game.
Tennis is much about short bursts, isn’t that when your supposedly more likely to be injured.? As for distance covered so what? I’m 53 and run 30 miles a week while working a full time job, I don’t need rotating. This tiredness argument is utter bollocks
And you outta watch the American and Australian opens, where it’s played under the blazing sun.
We need them fresh and fine for Emirates and xmas. We should have won anyway.
Nah, strongest side today. Rest Weds.
I even heard someone say we should have played Sturridge instead of Solanke. If he'd have played in that bit of snow he'd have had that many gloves and balaclavas on you'd have thought he was in the IRA.
Such a shame to waste points against the worst piece of shit team and manager we'll play this season.
