Looks like 1970 would've been more interesting to watch.

1970 = Mario Tennis

Which is a lot more interesting than baseline-to-baseline tennis.

Yeah. Lots of sports regulate what kind of equipment is allowed. Maybe professional tennis should impose restrictions on rackets to encourage more varied play.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
