I never really got in to tennis. Each match is numbingly quick. There are a few grunts. People clamoring to fetch an awry ball, random clapping and gasps, plus frequent commercial breaks break my concentration consistently. The scoring system is flawed, in which the word "love" means to be tied. Which, yeah, is poetic - but a little cheesy if you ask me. My only source of entertainment is the ironic fits the players throw when a trivial call is made to a referee sitting on a perch.
