I prefer womens tennis. Mens tennis has become who can out ace each other.

Womens tennis is more open, but henin-hardenne is knocking on the door of dominance, she's been in every slam final, and is probably the favorite win saturday

i still like it and think that it's just in a slight down period now that the Rafters, Samprases and Agassis have retired and the Murrys aren't ready yet and the SSSafins, Hewetts and Haases aren't back to form. In a year or two i think there should be 5-10 gyus who can legitamitely win every major, outisde of the French where Nadal will always dominate.

i also think that the guys like Haas, Safin and Hewett can comeback to full strength and contend as well.

Although i'm still pissed andre feel apart against Federer at the US open 2005.

Hottest girl in Tennis

Ivanovic>Sharapova. And a defined rivarly is exactly what tennis needs. But it really isn't a rivalry yet, since Nadal owns Fed as of now. 6-1.

Because Federer never fricken loses.

i dont find men attractive like women's tennis, so i dont watch it

The problem with men's tennis isn't that the same two people are always in the finals. The problem is that neither of those two are from the US. Think back to when men's tennis was more popular than its female counterpart... the two stars were both Americans: Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi. The media knows that in order for men's tennis to become popular (at least in the US) it needs an American superstar, which is why we see everyone overrating Andy Roddick when he hasn't actually done too much.
