Why is tennis so popular among a wide range of TV viewers? I think one of the reasons is the opportunity to watch not just a tennis match, but a battle of characters. Famous tennis players are famous personalities and characters. Even pauses during a tennis match serve to demonstrate the character of the players. Other netball sports can be no less interesting than tennis, but we know little about the athletes in these sports as personalities and characters. Therefore, all of them are inferior to tennis in terms of watching a battle of characters.
