    How Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer at Wimbledon. - Slate Magazine

    I see the writer's point - this definitely makes men's tennis more interesting to watch for sure. But I don't know that I'd really call Nadal a 'defensive' player - he really seemed to be dictating most of the shots in the Wimbledon final...

    Quoted: Remember the early 2000s when men's tennis became almost unwatchable—booming serves, points that ended before you blinked, rackets blasting serves 130 miles an hour? With Rafael Nadal dethroning 5-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer, that no longer applies. Defense now reigns supreme.

    Wimbledon to Pay Women Equal Prize Money - New York Times

    Wow, some big news for tennis. Women may play shorter matches, but lately, they definitely have been attracting as much of a crowd and as much money (if not more). Their games tend to be more interesting to watch (not to mention the US & Australian Open already pay equal prize money) so I say they deserve it!

    Quoted: Wimbledon bowed to public pressure and agreed to pay women players as much as the men beginning this year.
