Shhhhh...
Two observations while watching tennis this week:
Why is that in tennis, spectators must remain so quiet during play? No one may shout or talk while a player hits a soft fuzzy ball with a big racquet. Someone could get hurt. Yet in baseball, with a small hard orb flying at 100 mph inches from your face, fans may yell as loud as they want, whenever they want. Ditto for football with 300 hundred pounds of lineman flying toward you. So why the need for such silence during the intense concentation required during tennis?
When did women's on-court attire start looking like figure-skating costumes? Is it really comfortable playing tennis in lace and toille?

You know the old George Carlin routine about football and baseball?
"Football is played in a STADIUM... Baseball is played in a PARK!"
Well, tennis is played at a country club. And there may be 30,000 people in Arthur Ashe Stadium -- but country club rules still apply.
Oh, and you're forgetting one other thing:
Tennis players are SISSIES!
