They might be better equipped to deal with pressure.
A study has shown that men may buckle under pressure more than women in elite tennis matches.
Researchers looked at the performance of servers, and found that women’s performance wasn’t as affected by tense moments such as ties.
However, as only same sex games were looked at, the results may not be translatable to the real world.
It’s popular belief that men and women have different strengths. However, stereotypes about men being strong and women being sensitive are constantly being debunked.
When it comes to sport, new research has shown that women could have a psychological advantage over men — particularly in high pressure situations.
Researchers from the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland analysed 8,200 games from Grand Slam tennis matches. Specifically, they looked at the performance of the server in every first set played at the 2010 French, US, and Australian Opens and at Wimbledon.
