Tennis

Post by lukethedrifter »

While I'm not qualified to discuss how difficult tennis is, seems crazy that there is not one single American in the top 10 of men's or women's world rankings.

Mardy Fish???? is the top American male at #11 with Serena punching in at #17.

Roddick was ranked in the top 10 a few years ago.

Anyways, tennis is awesome.

John McEnroe was #1 a few years further back.

What happened to all the live coverage of star sports on the tennis masters? espn star sports philippines has been airing all the live coverages of almost all the tennis masters. why did it suddenly stop airing the tennis masters. i didn't get to see indian wells, miami, and now the monte carlo masters.

I love tennis, especially toward the end of major tournaments. The early rounds are kind of boring, but interesting to see what a huge gap there is between, say, the third best tennis player in the world and the 40th best, with the guy who's the 40th best person in the world at doing something that hundreds of thousands of people do just getting mopped up as if he's the 40-thousandth-best. This is one of my favorite pieces of sports journalism, by David Foster Wallace covering Federer several years ago when Federer was at his peak.

I would watch women's tennis if they didn't scream so much.
