It's better than nothing :happy::sobbing:\

It's WTA themselves who cited it :lol: I think they are so excited because WTA crushed ATP here :lol:

Who cares! It's Bing! :help::oh: :help:

And it's perfectly possible, even if this were true on Google (but who knows), that it has no correlation with the ATP making more money, drawing more attendance and having more overall fan interest.

All it would mean is that WTA players are more gossiped talked about. ATP players are probably read more on Sports and tennis websites.

I'm not trying to knock this (good for them). I'm just offering proper perspective.

I got a gray rep for this :spit:
There goes my 15-0 green rep :sobbing:
A grey rep can actually be a green one too :lol:

It's just from someone whose total number of posts is still below certain numbers to be able to give good or bad reps :p

Dullniacki is in top 5 despite being a slamless pusher. Just goes to show you that you only need to look good to have popularity in women's tennis :eek:
