The world is used to the Gender bias, Sexism, and the sports isn't an exception. Women tennis players face the more criticism, the poll says.

With all these news going around, Andy Murray recently was applauded by everyone during his press conference after the Quarter final loss against Sam Querrey.
The world No.1 was quick to correct the reporter that Sam Querrey was the first male player from the USA to reach the Semi finals since 2009 but not the first player, keeping in mind the players like Serena, Venus and others.
This video went widespread, His mother, Judy Murray was undoubtedly proud with his reply.
"I don't think there is a woman player- and there really shouldn't be a female athlete- that is not totally supportive of Andy Murray.
He has spoken up for women's issues and rights, especially in tennis, forever and he does it again. That's one thing that we love about him. "
She is also all praises for his mother, Judy Murray.
"He has such a wonderful mother who's been such a strong figure in his life and he's done so much for us on our tour, so we love Andy Murray," Serena said who is out of the tour as she is expecting her first child.
This is not the first time Murray stood against the sexism.
During this Year's Wimbledon, Murray also called on schedulers to give women more opportunities to play on the main show courts, which have featured a disproportionately high number of men's matches.
So, When a man stands up for a woman, it takes him places but when the woman stands up for her own rights, most of it doesn't go well ending up under the tag called "ego".
