Couldn't agree more. WTA's popularity is getting higher, not because of the quality of tennis, it's because how they promote WTA now, sexuality. How exciting can it be when the Williams played in most of the Grand Slam finals and winning almost all other events they entered, unless you are Williams fans. And do ppl get excited seeing them and most of the Top 10 women handing out bagels to their lesser components? I wouldn't call those quality tennis. Then, Kournikova draws the largest crowd but she doesn't really play high quality tennis, does she? I find it hard to believe that all those ppl are there to watch Anna because of her tennis. There's high quality tennis in WTA, like Venus Vs Amelie in the Semi, but the quality comes far less often than the men's match.
WTA decided to promote sexuality, seeing Anna's popularity getting sky high because of her beauty. It's a smart thing to do in the marketing point of view. Sports predominately are viewed by male audience (generally speaking). What is the best way to appeal to them when promoting a female tour? I don't against it. I think it's great that you can associate beauty with athletic ability. I watched Anna too. But to say that ATP is not as good as WTA is a little too much, unless you are not talking about the quality of tennis.
BTW, I think Andre and Pete were great players at their early 20s, but not dominant. Andre is 32, but he wasn't that consistent when he's younger. He became so consistently good really since he bounced back from the bottom, which is truly admirable. So he's not over yet and why should ppl count him out just because of his age. And Hewitt, Safin and a whole bunch of others are still at 21, 22. Should we give them a little more room to allow them to establish themselves?
