Will the Nishikori-Cilic USO final be low ratings?

[generous50]

Will this upset of the ages with Cilic and Nishikori upsetting Federer and Djokovic, will this US Open final be the lowest rated of all time, or will people tune in to see the "newcomers" in tennis?

Lowest ratings ever in the US. Not so in Japan.

Skysports was running ads during the clay season about Nishikori being a superstar. Maybe obese US media execs should start doing similar things. Or do they not realize that the big 4 can't last forever.

I'll be watching.

Are Federer or Djokovic fans not going to watch?

Even as a Nadal fan, I still watched the Wimbledon final even though I didn't care who won.

It is already up against Monday Night Football which will take away from it's ratings but without Federer its ratings are going to suffer even more.

But It's okay, having a new champion should help the sport long term.

The match starts much earlier than MNF though, no? I agree with your statement about the long term~

yes, but I have no sympathy for CBS...they didn't want it, so thanks for the coverage, goodbye

Still, the US viewers will collectively switch to ESPN once MNF starts. All we can hope is that the match is good enough to draw people away from ESPN.
