Not to tread on dangerous territory, but as far as I have read men also have better reflexes and natural accuracy. Which makes sense considering that they were the hunters.

Female tennis players are just as good though.
And about genetic differences between men and women:a certain tribe of Kenyans are super good at long-distance running. This isn't just training, it's also genetics, they actually have an advantage.

"If you look at it statistically, it sort of becomes laughable," says David Epstein, senior editor at Sports Illustrated and author of the new book .
He says that while we tend to think of Kenyans as really good distance runners, all these runners are actually from the same tribe of Kenyans known as the Kalenjin. They number around 5 million, making them a small minority, even in Kenya, yet they dominate most of the world's long-distance races.
"There are 17 American men in history who have run under 2:10 in the marathon," Epstein says. "There were 32 Kalenjin who did it in October of 2011."

Should there be Kenyan-only running events?
nope.
"Women only" sports implies women aren't as good as men, and that's just offensive. They aren't being given the CHANCE to be!
