But if there's one Tennis tournament which can be compared to the Snooker World Championship its without a doubt the French Open. That was my point. The matches can be a real slugfest, it can be extremely challenging physically and you don't win points by just hitting one or two good shots.
If you don't think the French Open should be considered more important than the other 3 tennis majors, then why do you think the WSC should be considered more important than the other 2 snooker majors?
Because it is what it is I suppose? I can't change the history of the sport.
In Tennis there are four Grand Slams. Those four tournaments are treated equally. In my personal opinion the French Open is the toughest one to win and proves to be the biggest challenge. But its one of 4 slams and treated that way.
But in Snooker there is only the World Championship. It has more prestige than any other tournament. It also has a very unique format unlike the slams who are all Bo5. You aint gonna find anyone who will treat the Masters and UK equal to the World Championship.
