Since the mainland Chinese totally subsidize their players both female and male one would think since women play just like men that they would integrate their pool tournaments to reflect this reality.
This does not seem to be the case. How would a top female like Chen fair against a top Chinese male in a race to 100?
If there is no difference in pool between the sexes why is there a woman's tour?
I need me some more Sha Sha.

The very top women in asia and europe can hang with the men, in the US, no.
The difference in skill between top women and average or even good women pro players is huge, that is why Karen and Alison won almost all of the events. You can be a good B player and do OK in the women's "pro" events, mid pack. You need to be an A+ male player to get past the first round of a pro men's event without some very heavy luck on your side.

So, a few women play that speed and now you say they all should be playing with men???
I spend more time shaking my head on this site than I care to admit.

Dude I was clearly playing Devil's advocate. Its Jay that yearns to create a gender blender on the tournament scene.
I always, as new data is available, can possibly change my mind about something. I am not at that point yet.
it used to be one gal that made all the gender blender's cases, Jean B.. A few outliers does not make a trend.
Maybe, Dr. Feel Good could administer some testosterone therapy for Chen and she could be the unisex champion of the world.
First of all overlord, there are many more excellent women players today than in Jean's era. She pretty much dominated the women's events, winning the last sixteen in a row that she played in! She might lose one set a year.
Today there may be as many as 25-30 high quality women players, and that's a conservative estimate. Let's just say there were a few tournaments that featured all the top men and women competing on an even playing field, and they were drawing large crowds, good TV coverage and garnering a lot of publicity for Pool. Would you be opposed to that?
god dammit man............
Pool needs a benefactor that would put up millions. Like a Silicon Valley cat that could throw millions into the wind.
Then pool needs to die.
