Tennis is more important than your silly little celebration. Now run off to your hockey and airplane threads.

personally im happy to see nadal and federer dominate.
charismatic and egotistic sporting personalities bring a lot more media/public attention to a sport. general awareness, enthusiasm, young-players etc. a constantly shifting top-ranking table is way more interesting and dynamic for those already-interested... but tennis is already suffering from a niche-exclusive appeal.
point, and it's the same with Schumacher in Formula 1, and Rossi in MotoGP and Tiger in golf. All three vital for the sport and its popularity. But still, I wish we could soon head into Roland Garros without Nadal having odds of 2/5 to win the whole thing before it even starts. The gap between Berdych and Nadal was, if I'm honest, a lot bigger than I expected - shockingly large really, too large to make the final exciting. As you said, a bit boring for those already interested.
