Suppose only the fact that men play against men in one, and women play against women in the other

I dont think there is a specific reason that men don't play women, only that they are 'weaker' that men... NOT TRUE! :)

Without getting into a debate as to how Serena Williams would fare against Roger Fedderer or comparing basic physiological gender differences in muscle mass (the average male has , the big difference between tournament level men's and women's tennis are:

1 - Women use a lighter and faster tennis ball than men: (USTA) "The women use regular duty felt balls while the men play with extra-duty felt during the US Open. This selection was designed to increase the ball speed in women's game and to slow down the velocity of the balls in the men's game."

2 - Women play best of 3 sets, men play best of 5.

3 - The reason women don't play men one on one in tournament level tennis is because all things being equal (Fedderer vs Williams, Djokovic vs Sharapova, etc.) it would be a rather lopsided affair. Of course 29 year old Billie Jean King beat 55 year old Boddy Riggs in their famous "battle of the sexes" match in the 1970s but a solid female junior player probably could've done the same.

Not trying to get into a feminist debate here but the fact is that women ARE physically weaker than men and possess 60%-80% of the muscle mass of men. This doesn't mean that a strong, motivated, well trained woman couldn't beat any man at just about any game, it just means that an elite male athlete will outperform an elite female athlete. However, women, due to their higher fat content have a decided physical advantage in distance swimming (Diana Nyad) so that is at least one event where an elite female swimmer may be able to beat her male counterpart.
There are really no major differences. In non-major tournaments, both men and woman play best 2 sets out of 3. However in major tournaments, men play best 3 sets out of 5 and woman still play best 2 sets out of three.

Men are more likely to have bigger, and stronger hands. This makes their Basketball sizes between the women's basketball different. Most men's basketballs are 29.5 inches in diameter.
