But people likes a team that has more members because i think i gives excitement to them. "The worst way to miss someone, is to have them sitting right next to you & you know you can never have them."

You gotta teach me how to do that :-) Fans have definitely declined since the 70s, although the majors are still totally sold out with high ticket prices. Players, on the other hand, continue to improve. Federer is one of the best of all time, as is Nadal. These guys are likely better than most of the 70s era players. I'd like to think Sampras (post-70s of course) was better than Federer, but I honestly question the assessment. I don't know about changing the rules, but the 3-set thing for men *might* be interesting in early rounds. Maybe a shootout like hockey? :-) Nice Photoshop job on that picture with Anna Kournikova.

I wonder what prize money has done over the past 30 years when adjusted for inflation? I've thought it would be interesting to try and reboot the sport - don't insist on silence, go to all tiebreaker, 3 set matches, just try something different. I'll also use this opportunity for a gratuitous plug of my photo with <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnwall/3280709347/" rel="nofollow">Anna Kournikova</a> from last month.
