  • Women's tennis is still the largest sport by a long shot.

  • However, when it comes to women's and men's tennis,

  • the broadcast rights, a huge part of all the tournaments.

  • And so we're talking about why are we not equal?

  • And the broadcast business is significantly different.

  • So in Cincinnati, for example,

  • we get 10X for the men's broadcast rights than we get the women's rights.

  • We're blessed with a great owner who cares about tennis.

  • But we needed a partner.

  • So it wasn't just Ben saying, I'm putting in $260 million.

  • We needed the state and the city and the county.

  • to say, we'll be your partner and we'll help.

  • It's mind-blowing to me that people don't think there's value in watching someone who's 100 in the world.

  • You should want to watch the top 100 players at what they do.

  • You want more singles players, top singles players playing more doubles.

  • That's what you want to see from a broadcast perspective.

  • Is watching three, four hours of a tennis match difficult?

  • Yeah, it is for the new generation.

  • So that's why we all have to work really hard at bringing new viewership.

  • And yes, can we shorten matches?
