Ten Things To Say About Tennis

"Pearls before Swine" by S. Pastis

1. I like compelling tennis.
2. I'm not a fan of winning a match on the opponent's unforced errors.
3. If there was one thing about tennis I could change, then it would be the bracket system: It's too rigid, the best seed should play the worst seed or her choice of unseeded player per round. This would make tennis more exciting.
4. I think "Federer vs Nadal" is good for tennis.
5. I think ATP ranking and BCS ranking systems are one and the same: Evil.
6. Pick one tennis tournament and give it a group stage, a la UEFA Champions League.
7. I miss John McEnroe.
8. I want to play EA Sports "Grand Slam Tennis" just to be John McEnroe so I can launch into a tirade at the press of a button.
9. Maria Sharapova = Anna Kournikova + talent
10. Why does Pete Sampras never make it on ESPN Classic?
