re: Serena Williams plays on Court 2. Some allege (of course) racism

quote:

With 17 trophies between them, the Williams sisters have earned the right to play on Centre Court, or Court 1. Serena is a top ten seed to boot.

So by that same train of thought, lets assume that Martina Navratilova (18 Grand Slam titles and 9 Wimbledon titles), and Steffi Graf (22 Grand Slam titles and 7 Wimbledon titles) both were to come out of retirement for one last year-long hoorah on the tour. Are you telling us that neither one should have a match outside of Court 1 or Centre Court when Wimbledon rolls around?

Simple fact is that more tennis fans want to see Federer and Nadal play than just about any women's player currently on the tour. There are only 2 courts which allow maximum numbers of fans in their seats for their matches, and those two places are Centre Court and Court 1. The same could also be said for Novak Djokovich and Andy Murray. People pay dearly to watch them play. The same cannot be said to the same extent for anyone in the women's draw.
