Wimbledon used to be my favorite, but since serve and volley tennis is dead, it's now the US Open. But I don't see how anyone can like the endless groundstrokes of the French... but to each his own.

US
Wimbledon
Aussie
French

1. Wimbledon
2. US Open
3. French
4. Australian

I enjoy all of the majors. From a US fan standpoint, it would be nice if Aussie was a little later and the US Open were a little earlier to avoid conflict with football season. Also living in Virginia I can't usually play during the Australian open, so it doesn't seem like tennis "season" and I prefer the tournaments where I can go outside and play before/after watching.

I love the Aussie. I think it's likely because by the time it rolls around I'm jonesing for some tennis. Also, it's played on a relatively slow hard court, and I like watching matches on slower hard courts (e.g. Indian Wells).

I can see that since it is the first major of the year. I would just get a lot more into it if it were after the Super Bowl. In January I am fully into football mode (college bowl games plus NFL playoffs). But if it filled the gulf between football and baseball I'd love it!

The other thing I forgot to mention in my original reply is that it is tough to watch games live for the Aussie Open b/c of the time difference.

I personally love the French Open. By far my favorite tournament of the year.

I went to the US Open a couple years ago and loved it. It's the only major I have actually been to though. In terms of watching on tv, I'd probably go Wimbledon, US, Auzzie, French.
