Any good at tennis?

Of course, but that was not at the level that Stick and Timothy discussed.

Basically you will never have two identical people, if you dig into the details.

But a lot of these differences are also a "hen and egg" discussion. You can practice your way to a quicker muscular structure, more endurance, more flexibility, etc. Your physique will have limits of course, but within these limits it's a matter of practice. Women's VO2Max is limited compared to men - they can workout their entire lives and never ever reach anywhere near the top male athletes. Do they have less talent?

It's only in a few countries (China comes to mind) where children are selected (and rejected) for particular sports more systematic based on their physique. I know that very talented badminton players are simply not worth the effort, if their physique has some measurable limitations even at early age.
