After captivating sports audiences worldwide in the 70’s and 80’s, Professional Men’s Tennis has lost its appeal in the late 90’s and beyond. To what do Sports Rag readers owe this drastic decline in interest?

"Tennis is still as great as ever. Wait, is McEnroe still playing and going batshit on umpires? No? Oh, then it blows." - Mitch Z., Kansas City

"How can a sport go wrong with a dynamic, bubbly prankster like Pete Sampras leading the way?" -- Ariel T., Portsmouth, NH

"Tell me when the men have Anna Kournikova’s ass. Then I’ll watch." -- Louis J, San Pedro, CA

"They should make tennis a ‘reality’ show where 352nd ranked Alex Radulescu tries to upset 348th ranked Lars Rehmann…not on the tennis court but, you know, just tries to get under his skin and stuff." – Danny P., Skokie, IL

"Simple: no robots with pincers and claws that smash other robots." -- H. Pearson, Boston, MA

"If this ‘Tennis’ you speak of is that fun sport where you pick up hitchhikers at truck stops, chloroform them, lobotomize them, and keep them in your root-cellar as zombie sex slaves to your every carnal urge, I’m sorry but I still like ‘Tennis’ quite a bit." -- Larry, Austin, TX
