Typical 53 man NFL team spends about $280,000,000 on those players salary.
The 4 Slams are 256 players (singles) and give $254,000,000 in "salary".
Average attendance at an NFL game is 69,000 per game.
Average attendance at a slam is 77,500 per day.
Approximately 300,000,000 annual NFL television viewers.
Approximately 2,000,000,000 annual Grand Slam viewers.

Tennis should be doing better. NFL salaries are guaranteed and they don't even have to win to collect their salary.

I think it is time for a boycott, and a girlcott.

Ah, nope. There are:
One guy clearly at the top, at least on hard courts, and who seems pretty hard to beat at the moment.
Two guys struggling to play good tennis, but at the top because of last year's points and nobody else being able to gain traction.
A GOAT that is finally showing signs of aging. NO ONE has beaten him; it is just father time.
And a whole bunch of people that can beat you and Alcaraz if they come out firing that day.

About the spiders: nah. You have more serious problems.

We're in the 4th month of this year, Sasha, so the chance for your balanced 2025 has already slipped by. Yes, you are playing at another level, it called pedestrian, great N. and S. American swings this year.

Roddick has been saying for a while on his podcast that it is the only way to get anything tangible accomplished.

(This is in general, not exactly what was being referred to here. He gave example of when he proposed it during his career. )

That silly statement is going to haunt Zverev.
Here he is, about to lose to Berrettini. When will professional athletes learn that opening your mouth that big is an invitation for disaster?

Wait.

Wait.

I didn't get to watch the match today.

What are these shorts?

This is a new frontier in the short-shorts war, and I never thought Alex de Minaur would fire the first shot.
