5 Reasons The U.S. Open Cannot Compete With Wimbledon

Posted on April 19th, 2011 in Uncategorized by admin

Here are five reasons why the US Open in New York will never be able to compete with Wimbledon:

1. Grass court tennis always better to watch then hard court tennis. Maybe it’s just the fact that the idea of playing on grass is more interesting then playing on hard court. Whatever the reason is, the fast grass court is always a lot more interesting to watch.

2. The crowd’s at the All England Club always seems to be a bit more into it then the crowds at Flushing Meadows. With possibly the exception of the nighttime crowds at Arthur Ashe Court, the crowds at Wimbledon always seems a bit happier to be there.

3. The best tennis out of the most exciting players. While winning a US Open is great, the chance to win Wimbledon (or another Wimbledon) just seems to bring the best out of players who seem to play their best tennis on the grass courts.

4. The history. You cannot compete with the history that you find on the hallowed Wimbledon grounds. From Court to Borg, this is where the true Champions ruled the tennis world.

5. The outer courts. If you think that Centre Court may be a bit stuffy, take a trip out to the outer courts, where fans camp out all day to see the “lesser players” play the best matches.
