Actually, I think I agree with digamma. This is the absurd point to which tennis has come, as technology and strength has turned this into a game of big serves with little rallying, with a fraction of the elapsed time of a match actually being devoted to ongoing play.
Not that the endurance and competitiveness displayed isn't truly awe-inspiring, but the tennis itself - who wants to watch 200+ aces? This is probably why I used to watch tennis 2 decades ago, and now I barely bother with it.
