Why I love watching tennis and why it's so addicting.
Have you ever found yourself rewatching highlights on youtube? Highlights of great matches that you've already seen before, perhaps multiple times in the past? And yet you find yourself watching the whole highlights video, up to 20-30 minutes long?
And that is why tennis is so awesome.
The players are charismatic, even those at the very top are still humble to a large extent, they are role models, the competition is INSANELY fierce and it's a the intensity can be cut with a knife sometimes, especially if you're watching a great match live. If a player loses a heartbreakingly close match, he/she goes home and has to deal with the loss and move on, tennis requires mental toughness and the depth of field is such that players always try 100%, which makes for such entertaining contests year round.
Not to mention tons of other things, like the diversity of players, playing styles, strokes, the unique energy that each player brings to the court, the diversity of tournaments, the awesome fans who are often, as evidenced by this forum, very well-spoken and articulate.
I can't even formulate a coherent paragraph here, since there's just too much to say.
Watching tennis, for me, never gets old because it's always a new, refreshing experience. Another week another tournament, new players winning, emerging, memorable moments, amazing shots, emotional moments, tennis matches are genuine, the players are genuine, and the fans appreciate the effort that the players put in just to get to the point where they are being seen on TV, we appreciate that they are working to hard and provide such great entertainment, we sympathize with their struggles, even the top ranked players, we can relate to them, they're
not cocky athletes who are expected to gloat after victories and trash talk, we like them as people, in addition to liking them as professional athletes.
I will not even proofread what I just wrote, so I apologize in advance for typos.
