Yeah, I fail to see the appeal of tennis as well. Completely boring sport.

My understanding of Tennis is that it is the most physically demanding of all the Sports there is to play. Therefore it does deserve some form of respect I would have thought.

I don't deny the skill or fitness needed to play it. I just can stand watching it. It's not that I disrespect the participants, they do things I never could. But I would find myelf nodding off if I watched it.
It requires skills I'll never have to do brain surgery on somebody, but I wouldn't make it a spectator sport.

You probaby need to get a better understanding of what Sport actually is then.

Why? Because I don't like watching tennis? All I said was I'd never got into it. Whys it such a big deal? Each to their own.

It was in reference to your analogy of Brain Surgery & spectator sports in the same sentence.

Well we still have the Hearn presentation tommorrow, the final PIOS event, a number of Amatuer tour-promotion deciding events, the Higgins issue, new events hopefully annnounced. It'll be a good summer methinks.
Anyway, Giro D'Italia and Tour de France in the Cycling world, along with County Cricket and the World Cup will do me fine.

Tune into the Steve Davis v Dennis Taylor show being repeated @7pm this evening on BBC2 & see me. That'll add to your depression.

Your on the money there wild. My wife said to me straight after "See how quick you talk now?" & I'll say the same to you as I said to that lovely Lady. "Learn to listen quicker". Not really, I just said "I know"
It's us cockney's mate. We should have been all racing commentators. We'd be naturals.
