Wimbledon, because I think there is more prestige in that tournament,  next would be the U.S. Open, French and then Australian.

Chalk another one up for Nadal. There are some other decent players left in the tournament, but noone who's likely to threaten Nadal.

i love that tennis is a very simple game in terms of the rules. very little room for interpretation at a professional level. compare to rugby, cricket, american football, squash...\n\nTennis is a war against yourself - one of the most psychologically challenging sports i've played.\n\nProbably the greatest thing about tennis - the all-round athletic and other talent needed. you have to be quick, have good reflexes, balance, mentally strong, timing, fitness...\n\nTennis has also been a sort of fashion parade over the years, more than any sport i can think of off hand. People like Borg, Agassi, Rafter, Wiliams sisters, Chris Evert etc were/are sex symbols and fashion icons of sorts in their heyday.\n\nPerhaps an interesting topical issue in tennis that is worth mentioning is the debate surrounding relative prize money of men vs women. they're still not equal in most Grand Slams I think. An interesting barometer of the times.\n\nContrasting styles and rivalries mcenroe vs connors, sampras vs agassi, Evert vs Navratilova, Federer vs Nadal...\n\nEquipment evolution - wooden raquets - aluminium - fibre glass - graphite and who knows what they play with these days. Clothes worn - initally women had to wear long skirts, and these days they practically wear nothing. (So i guess a theme could be how tennis has generally been quite an interesting reflection of the values and "rules" of the times over the years.\n\nProfessional vs amateur eras...

The court\n \nA tennis player standing on a courtTennis is played on a rectangular flat surface, usually of grass, clay, or concrete (hard court). The court is 78 feet (23.77 m) long, and its width is 27 feet (8.23 m) for singles matches and 36 feet (10.97 m) for doubles matches. Additional clear space around the court is required in order for players to reach overrun balls. A net is stretched across the full width of the court, parallel with the baselines, dividing it into two equal ends. The net is 3 feet 6 inches (1.07 m) high at the posts, and 3 feet (914 mm) high in the center.\n\nThere are three main types of courts, depending on the materials used for the court surface. Each surface provides a difference in the speed and bounce of the ball, which in turn can affect the level of play of the individual players. Some players are notoriously better on certain surfaces than on others and become known as, for instance, a "grass-court" or "clay-court specialist".\n\nClay court \nGrass court \nHardcourt \nHardcourt encompasses many different surfaces, ranging from old-fashioned concrete courts to coated asphalt to wooden gymnasium surfaces to artificial grass similar to AstroTurf.\n\nClay courts are considered "slow", meaning that the balls lose speed as they hit the court and bounce relatively high, making it more difficult for a player to hit an unreturnable shot, called a winner. On clay courts, line calls are easily reviewable because the ball leaves a visible mark. Hardcourts and grass are "fast" surfaces, where fast, low bounces keep rallies short, and powerful, hard-serving and hard-hitting players have an advantage. Grass courts add an additional variable, with bounces depending on how healthy the grass is and how recently it has been mowed.\n\nOf the Grand Slam tournaments, the U.S. Open and Australian Open use hardcourts (though they used grass courts and clay courts in the past), the French Open is played on clay, and Wimbledon is played on grass.\n\n\nPlay of a single point\n\nThe players (or teams) start on opposite sides of the net. One player is designated the server, and the opposing player, or in doubles one of the opposing players, is the receiver. Service alternates between the two halves of the court.\n\nFor each point, the server starts behind his baseline, between the center mark and the sideline. The receiver may start anywhere on his side of the net, usually behind the diagonally opposite service box. When the receiver is ready, the server will serve.\n\nIn a legal service, the ball travels over the net (without touching it) and into the diagonally opposite service court. If the ball hits the net but lands in the service court, this is a let service, which is void. If the first service is otherwise faulty in any way, the serving player has a second attempt at service. If the second service is also faulty, this is a double fault and the receiver wins the point.\n\nA legal service starts a rally, in which the players alternate hitting the ball across the net. A legal return consists of the player or team hitting the ball exactly once before it has bounced twice or hit any fixtures. It then travels back over the net and bounces in the court on the opposite side. The first player or team to fail to make a legal return loses the point.\n\nScoring\n\nA tennis match usually comprises one to five sets. A set consists of a number of games, and games, in turn, consist of points.\n\nMatches consist of an odd number of multiple sets, the match winner being the player who wins more than half of the sets. The match ends as soon as this winning condition is met. Some matches may consist of five sets (the winner being the first to win three sets), while most matches are three sets (the winner being the first to win two sets).\n\nA set consists of a sequence of games played with service alternating between games, ending when the count of games won meets certain criteria.

Racquetball is a sport played with racquets and a hollow rubber ball on an indoor or outdoor court. It was invented by Joe Sobeck in 1949 incorporating rules from squash and handball. Unlike many other racquet sports, the walls, floor, and even ceiling of the racquetball court are considered in-bounds. The game is normally played by two players, though there are variations with three or even four (which can get very crowded). Two player games are called singles, three player games are typically called iron-man (2 on 1 during entire game) or cut-throat (each player take turns serving to the other 2), and four player games are called doubles.
