Like golf and bowling, it’s more exciting watching paint dry/ I also think it is unpopular because it is not a team sport. Americans, like my sons, like team sports. They played team sports in High school, and they like to watch team sports. Tennis is so self absorbed. The players, particularly the ones that have come onto the scene in recent years, are quite frankly scary. They are so competitive, in a stringent way,that it seems unnatural. Tennis had a mild surge in the old days of John McEnroe. But he seemed like an ordinary guy who was just ahead of the game, so he was appealing. There is nothing, at least to me, appealing about those two Williams sisters or any of the players. The game,however, is fun to play and the only sport I participated in locally.
