Entire day's play washed out at French Open

Shocking weather this year. It's normally Wimbledon that gets rained off.

Forget said it was possible that one of the women's matches could be moved away from the Chatrier and Lenglen courts to the 5,000-seater Simonne Mathieu arena.

The TV coverage I was watching a few days ago briefly went to Halep's match (against some nobody... I forget who), and I was utterly shocked at how few people were sitting in the stands. It was an absolute ghost town. Setting aside for a moment the conversation about the quality of men's sports vs. women's sports, I think it goes to show just how compelling the men's game is at the moment. There are so many legendary players. There are so many promising young players. The talent pool toward the top is getting deeper after being so shallow for so many recent years. I still think there is a lack of truly interesting characters, beyond the handful of obvious ones. But overall, I think the product of men's tennis is very strong at the moment, compared to the women's side. Attendance seems to be proving it.
