Aussie Open TV Ratings

I hope everyone is as excited as I am for the final. If everyone stays up to watch in the U.S.A the ratings will go up and hopefully that means more tennis coverage for us in the future. Please watch so we can build our sport here! Best Wishes,

Nice to see you back. Word around here is that you've been working hard and have a lot going on.

I think you posted this in the wrong section but I get what you're saying. We all know tennis isn't a big tv sport in the US. I often wonder why ESPN goes through all hassle and expense of sending such a big crew all the way to Australia. How are they making enough money to provide all this coverage?

I hope the ratings will be big but something tells me they won't. While people that follow the ATP may be excited by a Djokovic - Tsonga meeting, the general public doesn't know either of these guys. Federer - Nadal would have gotten much higher ratings.

Clint,

Nice to see you back in the saddle. Gonna be a struggle after successive nights watching Nadal / Federer live (kills the next day), but Tsonga - Djokovic could be an intersting match if Tsonga keeps pulling out those drop volleys. I think tennis coverage will be fine regardless... US Open series has increased viewership, to my knowledge, a ton. I think we'll be fine over the summer.

Thanks guys,

I didn't really know where to post this. I was hoping it was more of a tennis tip to get people to watch. HA, hope it works. I talked to Adam V. a couple weeks ago so I thought I would check out the boards again. Most everything of mine seems to get deleted so it hasn't been as much fun recently. Even the post that Adam was telling me about seems to have been deleted. I was reading it the other day but can't find it now to respond.

How are you guys doing? Anything interesting going on in your tennis worlds? Would love to hear about it. If this thread lasts another day that is. :) Take care.

Hey Clint, I'm sorry I missed this thread until now. I hope you're still lurking around the forums. Looking forward to seeing new Guru material.
