Message: [QUOTE="Jorislove, post: 3443345, member: 10553"] Interesting take with tennis being mixed in. I think one of the reasons that women's tennis had a wave going, was because their game became powerful and flashy. And on top of it they had personalities that mixed in with hollywood. Serena, Venus, Sharapova, etc had elevated power games, just like men's tennis where powerful serves and groundstrokes were a sight to behold. Women's basketball, it's yet to be seen if it can become relatable in that way to men's game. And on top of this, tennis stars have a LOT of PR ops from their glamorous tournaments (biggest events are in NY, London, Paris, and Melbourne), and pop culture references. WNBA and women's basketball definitely has their work cut out for them. Personally I actually like women's basketball and no filter approach in rivalries and interviews as opposed to the scripted Roger Federer PR appearances. [/QUOTE]
