Olympic Tennis is Gluttony
Tennis has quite a full year round season and many top class
tournaments. The Olympics is already a much bloated event with too
many events in it. Tennis certainly does not need the Olympics (Well
certainly not the top tier tennis). Professional tennis should keep
itself away from the Olympics.
