We had an issue where Scott didn’t have local audio for the first ~7 minutes, and salvaged it from the backup audio. It’s listenable, but you’ll hear Scott sound a lot better after that first bit.
The worth of a major tennis tournament is probably the easiest any international tournament to measure. There are four of them per year, they are “open” (so anyone can try to qualify to take part), they are worth 2000 ranking points and about 2 million dollars to the winner.
If the WTA and ATP wanted a fifth major, they could simply make one by offering enough money and ranking points. It wouldn’t have the same history, but to the participants it would be worth exactly the same as the existing majors.
Soccer is totally different though. There isn’t a way to compare different trophies. Is it better to win three Premiere League titles or just one Champions League title? They don’t have an easy points value system.
I don’t have much interest in it, but I do appreciate the concept of a sport that includes lunch and tea breaks.
