Members Soapsuds Posted July 24, 2018 Members Share Posted July 24, 2018 Compared to Wimbledon...The British Open final round had a 5.0 rating....up from last year's 3.6 rating when Jordan Spieth won it. Tiger's charge against the new stars including Spieth brought in the ratings....the ratings peaked at 6.7 in the last half hour of the broadcast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 24, 2018 Members Share Posted July 24, 2018 Spieth trended quite a lot on Twitter but Tiger Woods was trending pretty much the entire weekend. Pretty fair indicator of just how much people were talking about and watching the tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 24, 2018 Members Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Tiger’s really a paradigm-shifting pop culture icon, and the possibility of ending a 10-year major drought would have been huge. The only person in tennis who comes close right now in America is Serena, which is why the ratings for the final Saturday of Wimbledon were so good. I think it’s hard to draw a definitive conclusion about this year’s men’s final, as it was up against a World Cup final watched by nearly 12 million viewers.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 Simon Cambers mentioned that the ratings for the women's final exceeding the men's were similar to last years women's semifinals (Venus vs. Konta) ratings which exceeded last years men's final! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 I think that makes sense. An American legend of the sport (Venus) on a comeback trail. Federer is clearly famous, but no one thought that Cilic final would be much of anything (it wasn’t). If he’d been playing Nadal, at least there would be a narrative. If he’d been playing a healthy Djokovic or Murray or Delpo, at least there could have been a competitive match, since all have beaten Federer at the highest levels. Cilic? Not so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) Just look at last year's US Open....no Serena but all American semifinals(higher ratings) ......the problem with the men's tour is that there is no American male that is likable ...that's not even counting success..... In golf you have all these new American males vying for all the majors which leads to better ratings than tennis. There are some unlikable players but some very likable. Men's tennis doesn't have the flood of Americans vying for majors. Edited July 25, 2018 by Soapsuds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 When his game started to pick up, I figured Djokovic likely dumped that guru. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 26, 2018 Members Share Posted July 26, 2018 I just saw this! All those times when people used to wonder why he shielded his son's face from public view, my immediate thoughts were always that perhaps he wanted to protect his son from the possibility of being kidnapped. The threat is very real if he's in Serbia, although I know he lives in Monte Carlo but clearly he and is wife have family who still live there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
