Judy Murray believes having more female coaches across all levels of sport is vital to significantly increasing participation among women. James Neal Jersey . The 57-year-old, who resigned as captain of Great Britains Fed Cup team in March after five years in charge, insists there is a shortage of women in key positions within the sports industry.One of the things is to have more female coaches and more female PE teachers because women much better understand how girls tick, Murray, who has helped guide the career of her son Andy, told Sky Sports News HQ. I think thats an important thing. The world is a different place nowadays and sport is competing with so many other things for girls attention that we need to make our sport as attractive as possible.Above everything else girls are not as physical, not as competitive as boys anyway, girls like being with their friends, so its very important for us to make sure we have a lot of all girl activity.All girl PE is much easier for girls to thrive in than it is if they are actually vying for attention or competing in any way with boys.Murray was speaking at a Miss-Hit workshop, a tennis initiative she launched two years ago aimed at training teachers and A-level students how to deliver starter tennis to girls aged five to eight.Tennis is one of the few sports where men and women are paid equally and Murray believes more investment in womens sport is needed if others are to follow suit. Andy Murray also defended female players rights to equal prize money in tennis Every sport has its own challenges, added Murray. It would be nice to think that [equal pay in sport] could happen.But again I think investment has to start into helping women to become as good as they possibly can be in their sport.There more champions and the more personalities we can produce then the more attractive female sport is and the more fans go along to watch it.Mens and womens tennis attracts a larger female audience then a male audience so you have respond to marketing forces and tennis is in a fortunate place.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.

He will join the Hanwha Eagles of the Korea Baseball Organization.PARIS – Novak Djokovic was just a few points away from losing to Milos Raonic a couple weeks ago in Rome, so it was no surprise that the No. 2 seed at the French Open lavished praise on the eighth-seeded Canadian on Sunday night after both men won their fourth-round matches easily to setup a quarterfinal showdown. "Milos is playing the tennis of his life," said Djokovic. "Hes top-10 now, an established top-10 player. He has one of the best serves in the world. Very powerful, very precise." Raonic had 17 aces when the two hooked up at the Masters 1000 event in Italy on May 17. Only American John Isner (82) has more aces than Raonic (72) at Roland Garros this year.  "When he serves that well, there is not much you can do, really," said Djokovic, who entered Mondays matches as the tournament leader in break points won (29). "He puts a lot of pressure on his opponent and he has improved a lot from the baseline now. With his backhand, hes hitting down the line, hes very aggressive, which he should be, of course, for somebody of his height and his build. You know, hes powerful and he uses that serve. Forehand is also very good from back of the court. So there is an evident improvement in his game and he feels more confident on the court. You can feel that. The recent match we had in Rome, as you mentioned, was very close." Djokovic lost the first set in a tiebreaker at the Internazionali BNL dItalia before edging Raonic in a second-set tiebreaker and winning the third and deciding set 6-3. After the three-hour battle of wills, Djokovic said he could not remember the last time he felt as helpless in the return game. "I dont expect anything different now," he said after a straight-set victory over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Sunday. "You know, I know that Im going to have to face somebody that is going to serve over 200 kilomeeters per hour in average throughout the whole match. Stefan Matteau Jersey. But Im ready for that." Raonic, meanwhile, is also feeling confident after becoming the first Canadian man to ever reach the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam singles competition (in the Open era). Raonic admitted he would not have thought his breakthrough would come on the red clay in Paris, but noted he has made some subtle adjustments this year to improve his game on the slower surface.  "The biggest difference I have made this year is not really making too much of a difference when I have come to the clay," the 23-year-old explained. "Just more of an approach, knowing more balls will come back, but trying to stay close, not going too far back, and all these kind of things. I have tried to sort of keep that, I was doing it on hard courts, and its been working out well for me." But Raonic is well aware of the challenge that now lays before him. Djokovic badly wants to win the title here in order to complete the career slam.  "I think its more so just a mental aspect of keeping up a certain level for that long and not allowing yourself to drift away," Raonic said when asked what the key is when facing such a strong opponent in a best-of-five format. "But he also makes that demanding of you in two out of three sets.  Its just about doing it a little bit longer and bringing your best tennis. Obviously, thats important." Raonic and Djokovic have had a congenial relationship on tour due in part to their shared Serbian heritage. Born in Podgorica, Montenegro in 1990, Raonic and his family relocated to Toronto in 1994.  "We have a good relationship. Very friendly. Same type of cultural upbringing and background, so we understand each other a lot, especially because of the language, as well," Raonic said. "So we get along well." China NFL Jerseys Discount Jerseys China Jerseys Wholesale China NFL Jerseys White Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys China Jerseys Cheap Youth NFL Jerseys Wholesale ' ' '
