Former World No. 4 tennis ace Greg Rusedski has slammed Manchester United legend Paul Scholes for claiming that tennis is an easy sport.

During a recent episode of The Good, The Bad and The Football podcast, Scholes said that football is a much more demanding sport, while "you can play tennis till you're 70. Every two minutes you can go and have your nice glass of orange juice."

A disappointed Rusedski told British radio show TalkSPORT:

"Scholes said football is harder than tennis. I've never heard a bigger load of rubbish in my life. Come on, Scholes, let's go play some tennis and see how long you can last out there."
