Much Ado About Nothing

That's right, the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. ACK!

The ATP is already promoting the hell out of this non-event, and what, it's April -- a full 7 months before the start.

The aptly named WTF is sort of a big deal, but not really - certainly not as big a deal as they play it to be.

The only tennis event that is blown more out of proportion is the joke known as the Davis Cup.

The ATP & ITF both could use some new leadership.

Embarrassing.

I agree. I also believe a 5th slam should happen. Miami? Maybe but I would like 2 see 1 on asia.

Australasia is already covered by the AO. And Asia doesn't have a tennis heritage or history.

I'm fine with 4 GS per anno and schedule-wise there's not much you can do with RG, Wimbi and USO because of the respective climates.

When Miami was held in Key Biscayne, they introduced a 32 set list and best of 5 for men in every round. But it would be another hard court tournament on the east coast.

And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, this from the ATP website...

Manufacturing prestige. Nice.

thats harsh it meant alot to nole, fed, davydenko, and the greats of years past sampras, borg, agassi, becker, lendl, johnny mac, it does have prestige is it over advertised yes i would agree with that but just cos 3 of the top 4 show up banged up and arent fit enough to win it does not detract that in order to win it you have to beat the top 8.

I don't get why this graphic offended you. Seriously! It looks just like any other sporting/tennis pic to me.
