Why is tennis evolving into a niche sport in the U.S.? We have seen that many tournaments have disappeared from the States (Memphis, Scottsdale, San Jose, Philadelphia, Boston, Los Angeles, Las Vegas) and it is less accessible to watch on TV unlike 15-20 years ago. Please don’t tell me it’s because U.S. players are not champions because I do not believe that is the reason.

The U.S. sporting public simply seems to have lost interest in tennis. What is a shame is I believe this is the most grueling sport, mentally and physically. The players have never been better athletes than this era yet no appreciation in a sports-loving place like the U.S. It baffles me…

Please discuss…
