Neutral winner.
So, is she a citizen of the world? If so, I want to see her passport.
This is silly.

I suppose that personality and the fluidity and beauty of one's game can be a factor in how many people watch.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 4:23 pm About TV ratings and viewers.
Roger had a period of domination as strict as what Novak is imposing now. During the 2004-2007 years, he won three of the four slams every year, made the ATP finals every year (won 3) and won 13 MS 1000's.
NOBODY was not tuning in for his matches.
It's got nothing to do with dominance and the predictability of the outcomes (in 2006, Roger went 92-5).
But I also believe that if Djokovic were not winning his matches so easily this year, more people would have tuned in to watch the Final.

Yes, and people tuned in to just about every Slam in the 2000s and 2010s expecting to see Serena win and she usually did and that wasn't a deterrent, but an attraction.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 4:23 pm About TV ratings and viewers.

Definitely not a dominance problem, but a likability one. It's an issue with no easy solution. One of the ones that they've come up with has his own issues, especially that he can't seem to stay healthy.

Aryna Sabalenka's country was not engraved on her Australian Open trophy after winning the title.

Asked about being the first ever neutral winner of a Major, Sabalenka said: I think everyone still knows that I'm a Belarusian player. That's it. Will this be a big deal in my country:? I think so. I think people will be proud of me. But I think I will go back to Miami. I live there right now.”
Wimbledon are currently deciding whether to readmit players from the two nations this summer.

What happens when the war ends (hopefully soon)? Does the country name get etched on in the future or does it stay this way? I'm completely unfamiliar with the rules for this.

So, what was it? More people in Australia tuned in for the Men's final than for the women's?
The numbers in those charts (if I am reading them correctly) are that they did.

That's how I read it too but he seems to be trying to say different measurements were used to reach the totals.

Re: ATP WTA AO 1/16 - 1/29 2023
Djokovic and his family manifested an incredible amount of ill will towards him last year in Australia by Australians (and the world in general). Tsitsipas isn't all that well regarded either. If an Australian media company didn't get their money's worth then boo hoo for them. Am I supposed to be feeling one way or another over tv ratings?

This was going to happen especially for the Slam. When matches are starting at 3a on the East Coast of the US during a work week what do they think will happen?
I seem to remember reading a few years ago that this time of year is like spring break for students in Australia. To hold the Slam at any other time would cause attendance issues the reasoning went. I don't know. People are working, even if they're able to work from home in the States, and I wouldn't run around thinking the sky is falling - yet.

Only that it tells you that the "health" of the sport may not be as rosy as some say.Owendonovan wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 12:37 am Djokovic and his family manifested an incredible amount of ill will towards him last year in Australia by Australians (and the world in general).

But we have to wait and see what are the ratings of other tournaments. If the RG final is played without Rafa, and rating are also down, then some people have to start worrying.
