More Americans watch Little League Baseball than the US Open. The average Tennis fan is 61 years old. It's time to grow the game through the next generation of culture. No Quiet Please.
@Alexisfromvegas unfortunately actual tennis-based influencers have a fraction of the reach because the niche is small. not saying these types of influencers are the answer, but if you think more emphasis on the game is gonna grow tennis, you're absolutely wrong
@awfulannouncing you don’t think people spark a blunt at the superbowl or at an NBA Finals game? There’s only outrage cause Tennis is obsessed with being “old money” and high brow
@CBSNews not saying these types of influencers are the answer, but if you think more emphasis on this archaic obsession with "etiquette" is gonna grow tennis, you're absolutely wrong
@brxxklynbxby__ not saying these types of influencers are the answer, but if you think more emphasis on the game and the archaic obsession with "etiquette" is gonna grow tennis, you're absolutely wrong
Aryna Sabalenka had to speak to the umpire mid-match at the U.S. Open due to someone smoking weed:
“Someone is smoking weed. Do you mind? Because it’s so strong.”
@AnonAnonovich76@WaveBabe21@aubreystrobel people 100% get away with it without being tossed out, and nobody actually smoked in the stands or it would've been easily caught on video. there's outrage over a smell wafting over from outside the stadium
@tolstoybb I agree we gotta take down the “old money, upper class” stigma around tennis but it’s not young people pushing this culture, it’s that 43 year old hedge fund manager complaining about the smell of a backwood at the US Open
@Will_Tanner_1 You think tennis is an “upper class sport” cause it’s not predominantly won by black athletes. Just say it clearly we can read between the lines
