Well - The Oz open is about 3 miles from my front door so it's very accessible and I love being able to drop in whenever I feel like it over the two weeks to watch some of the outside court action.

When I was growing up, I always loved the French, and I still really enjoy watching it - probably more than any of the others.

The French - the biggest test of our sport IMO. You need to be prepared in all aspects.

It used to be the US open for its tennis, but since 1997, it is the French, because RG is like a hardcourt with clay. Nicest to look at, the red/orange clay with the green surroundings.

01 French Open
02 Wimbledon/US open
03 Australian open

The U.S. Open for sure. I like all the slams except the French. I feel the U.S. Open and Wimbledon end up being the most competitive (minus the Federer domination at Wimbledon).

I like Australian Open because it always seems players play really good there and many great 5 set matches. I also get jealous beacause they have a nice 80 degree day when we have snows and 30 degree day here in U.S.

The US open because I can watch it live on TV at a reasonable time.

Either the Australian Open or the French Open. The French Open has historically showcased some incredible matches and always fun for the spectator. The Australian Open is nice because, well, some of my more favorite players do better there .

The US Open has the best camera angle of all of them which is why I like it, you can really see how fast the ball goes. Then Roland Garros, the Aus Open, and Wimbledon has the worst camera angle.
