I think it's because these arseholes know that a lot of women take pride in their appearance (more than men on average anyway,) and they will most likely upset the woman competing, which is incredibly harsh considering it's just a Sport.
Obviously I don't believe that men should be attacked for their appearance either.
But in general these guys take on the different tone (that you're referring to,) because yes it's more embedded in society to judge a woman more on her appearance than we do men.
But I do think that these arseholes know that in general, women will be more visibly upset if her looks are attacked.
And all over a game of Tennis nonetheless, it's pathetic behaviour.
