You are really coming across as foolish. Tennis doesn't want to change yet YOU want to change tennis. Why?

Try paying attention to what you quoted. I didn’t say it was the best tennis, I said it was the best tennis TO WATCH, frequently the players doing the late night stuff at the US Open are no name guys with really large unimpressive ranking numbers, so it clearly isn’t the best tennis.

So, you watch crappy tennis just so you can scream? Although I disagree with you as to who they put on at night. It's alwayw a marquee player. Sometimes they end up playing someone low in ranking but it's never a low ranking player against a low ranking player. They even switch around matches to avoid this. So, your contention is wrong.

You sure are throwing around a lot of insults. Try not being so emotional.

I don’t want tennis to change, I don’t give a crap what happens to it. I’m just telling you that the “gentlemanly” obsession with a silent audience makes the game boring and is one of the reasons it’s losing TV audience.

I’ll watch late night US Open tennis because it’s more entertaining. I’m at home, I can scream if I want, but silent audiences make boring TV.
