12. Seriously??

Is this a serious post??

Ratings for the US Open Semi-finals were higher than the Men's Finals
Why? Because Serena Williams was playing for a Grand Slam
Serena was the biggest story in tennis last year winning 3 of 4 of the Grand Slams

Djokovich did the same thing and most people didn't care (and heck after his comments I have lost all respect for him).

Oh and this thing that the Men's game is longer than the Women's - that is really only the Finals. Check out the early rounds. Most matches are less than most of the Women's.
