I love tennis even more now. With golf and tennis, it's the minutia that counts more than shear power. A smaller male player with less power but better skills can still win, a lot. Today's tennis players, many of whom run 6'5" or better can be whipped by a 6' or less man of superior skill. Further there is strategy and plenty of it. If one player does X the other will do Y to try cope with X. It is fast and one needs to get a feel for watching a fast paced game.

I watch for the little stuff a kennedy.

Wozniaki coming back after 3 1/2 years off and having 2 children.. Story-lines are always plentiful. Dramatic stuff.

I hope like everyone else we get a rematch of Djokvic and Alkaraz. Whoop whoop.

IMO
