The style came about during the early 80s in Tokyo and was named after the Harajuku station in the Shibuya district. It started gaining popularity in the 90s, merging subcultural Japanese and Western styles together, and by the early 2000s, the style transpired all over the world.Jul 21, 2023

I loved it but I knew about the Harajuku fashion aesthetic already.
Now if Penko shows up dressed as her favorite anime character...

The women are playing with the regular duty balls, lighter than the extra duty..they fly through the air a bit...magnified the court speed
A quick internet search says that starting in 2023, they are both using the extra duty ball. Are you sure they went back to the regulars? (The women, I mean).
And I never saw that. To me, a heavier ball flies faster because it is heavier and cuts more through the air. My completely unsupported belief (I always liked playing with heavy balls).
Newton's first law works as you claim in a vacuum. When you factor in friction, it is a different thing.
Accelerating a lighter object indeed takes less energy than a heavier object. But, if you accelerate a heavier object to the same speed, the kinetic energy of the heavier object will be more.
Imagine an extreme. A tennis ball and a cannonball of the same dimensions. IF they start at the same speed, the cannon ball will fly longer because it cuts through the air easier.

Annual reminder that grounds pass tickets at the
@usopen (bought through the website) are disproportionately expensive. Thursday: $160, Friday $224, Saturday $228: At @AustralianOpen they start at A$29 ($20), @Wimbledon = max £30 ($40) and it's about the same at @rolandgarros
At the @AustralianOpen you can get a 1-week ground pass for something like AUD $130

But we will never have a fans' boycott.
I mean, if people in NYC have that kind of money, so be it. Nobody is forcing you to go, and I gather there are a few more things to do in that city.
