    Well i think tennis is so fun to watch

    N cheer the players

    n also for an example the players give away money for charity

    As for making money well its all about money

    We can not blame them for that

    And the players don't get the money on a silver plate they work out 8h a day

    Anyways its roland Garros n RAFAEL NADAL if u don't win it imma slap u really hard that ur teeth will fall out: ))))

    Because tennis is fun to watch! And I promise that tennis is muchhh harder than it looks. There are different styles, techniques, hits, rules etc. I know because I am 15 and have been in tennis lessons since I was 3. I play competitively and practice all the time. I have been told that I can easily get a scholarship for how I play so I kinda know the work that goes into it haha;) So yeah, that's my little rant of the day;)

    Well

    I can confirm that making money by taking online surveys it's possible. I'm doing a few hundreds dollars a month. The secret is to apply to real campaigns of real companies.

    The best resource I found online to find these programs is this site: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=555

    Only about the top 10 players make millions and that is if they stay there long enough to get sponsors like rolex. The rest live largely off their prize money, it is not like football or basketball where you sign a contract and you're guaranteed millions and millions. No in tennis you only get paid if you win.

    It doesn't cost that much to go watch a tournament

    I agree, I think paying all these players millions just for a few hours is a good deal. Don't complain about your schedule when you are only there for a few hours and make tons of money while others work the basic job.

    Well I think that guy that jumped out of the stands and stabbed the lady tennis player because her grunting noises made him crazy, I guess he said it all right there

    You know that does make total sense to me. Same as watching people play golf. Something you can comfortably do sitting on the couch at home, rather than standing in the hot sun following them around the golf course

    That is ironic that the fans can't make noise yet the players do.

    Athletes are overpaid and pampered. They should come and live in the real world.

    I liken this to golf. Geesh. I could break more of a sweat watching the dandelions grow then to watch golf. For what? Tiger Woods? Ha ha ha. I have some Tiger Woods shirts to sale. You wanna buy one?
