LONDON — Tennis great Margaret Court, who won a record 24 grand slam singles titles, believes the women's game has become a "little bit boring" because players are not attacking enough.

The Australian Open starts on Monday but the country's most celebrated tennis icon did not mince her words, saying she much prefers the men's tour because matches are exciting with the likes of world number one Novak Djokovic coming to the net more often.

"I think women's tennis is a little bit boring with just hitting up and down all the time," Court, 73, told the BBC.
