What do you of the all-Williams final? is it good for women's tennis?

Question

I thought it will be good but, is it really? Just a few days after the final Sony Ericsson threatened to withdraw its sponsorship of the WTA Tour. I personally thought it would at least make women's tennis go up from its current lowly state but I guess I was wrong...

Answer 1

Of course its good you have 2 black ladies fighting it out but inside they love each other its great for the sport and For people .

Answer 2

I don't think it's good for women's tennis at all.  The fact that Williamses pay less and less attention to playing tennis every year, but still are the top contenders only highlights the lack of talent in women's tennis right now.  And you also have to keep in mind that tennis popularity is in the decline in the US, while it remains steady in Europe and increases in Asia.  Having two Americans in the finals might have a positive impact in the United States, but it will not have a positive effect worldwide.

Answer 3

no other countries have to pull their socks up and deliver better players

Answer 4

I loved it!!  I was on vacation, but I was able to find a tv and watch the match.  I know they don't seem to play as much as some of the other women, but they are obviously extremely talented athletes.  I think that they are fun to watch, but in playing each other, we got the added emotional and mental stress that they were going through.  It was a unique sporting event, and I think more people would be watching it than if 2 other lesser known women had made it to the final.

And I personally find women's tennis to be great right now.  Tennis is the only women's sport I can stand to watch besides fastpitch softball.  I usually don't like watching women play because the level is usually lower than that of the men.  To me, WTA is way more exciting than mens.

Answer 5

Yes, it's good.  You have two sisters making history and who are role models for others.  It also shows that two people can be from the family or area and still get the job done.  It shows a lot of sportsmanship or lack of it.  It shows some disappointments and joy for each of the sisters.  It was a parallel of life.

Answer 6

1) Not sure what you're asking.

2) Yes, very good for women's tennis.  I am only a marginal WTA fan, and I wouldn't have watched the women's final if neither williams sister was partcipating.  Double bonus for me to see both.
