every other major global sport is not dominated by any particular race, then why only tennis? what could be the reasons? are afros more athletic than europeans and are suited for far more physical games? or is it just that europeans are more interested in this sport and other races not that much?

how do you see the sport transitioning forward? with the sport becoming physical with each passing day, do you see more afro players joining the mix? what progress do you see in tennis as far as the five major races are concerned - african, indian, asian, middle-eastern and european?

I don't know what you mean by MAJOR sport. Being a good tennis player demands a good coaching, traditions and money which you don't have in poor countries where African/Asian people live.

Tennis is expensive and the majority of black people on the planet tend not to have access to the resources and facilities necessary to build the skill necessary to become a great professional player from a young age.

Obviously the Williamses and other black pros have shown that their pigment has nothing to do with the ability to play.

Is this a legitimate question. And are you 3 years old, or pulling our legs?

And why would you post this today, during the middle of a match?

I don't like thread question, but your question is equally misguided.

It is like saying because Tiger Woods had dominated golf at some point, it is not a white dominated sport.

All sports whose roots are in private club are white dominated.
Polo is the other sports.

why not take this thread in the spirit it was meant to be? this being the largest tennis forum in the world, the thread will be paid attention to and could evolve and serve as a blueprint for development of tennis in non white parts of the world......so lets chip in with knowledgeable posts......

Mainly because it started in private clubs. The cost of membership kept it rather exclusive.

Races don't exist among the Human race. Next.
