Here is how i would rank them
1. Wimbledon 2. French Open 3. Australian Open 4. US Open I think the first two clearly top the list but it's close between the last two I picked the Australian because it starts the year well where as i always look foward to the masters finals more than the US Open. |

I would have to say the US Open. I just find it to be more entertaining and the atmosphere more relaxed than the others. Besides, the courts there are faster than Wimbledon these days.

1. French Open (by far)
2. Wimbledon 3. Australian Open 4. U.S. Open I actually like the atmosphere (often quite controversial) at Philippe Chatrier, and also how you don't get frustrating matches to watch (like Karlovic-Tsonga at Wimbledon a few days ago) since the surface at the French Open is clay. Admittedly I don't get why there seem to be so few hot food stalls there, gets really annoying to have to queue up for so long. However I'm attending several sessions of the second week of the U.S. Open (including the men's final) this year so based on my impressions of the atmosphere etc it may well leapfrog the Australian Open. |

I don't think it's the best but, if they can show some guts and keep the pace of their courts as medium-fast, I'll go with the US Open as my favourite.

I think people are voting Wimbledon because it's on. Just a thought.
