    Can We Have a "Tennis" Heading, Please.

    Tennis is a relatively popular sport - a very popular sport in other countries. Granted, it's not completely mainstream, but surely it's deserving of it's own forum board.

    Top Spin 4 will be huge - and I don't think it should be buried under "All Other Sports." The "All Other Sports" board should be reserved for curling, ping pong and badminton. Yes?

    Any hope of this happening, that is, giving "Tennis" it's own forum home at Operation Sports.

      Re: Can We Have a "Tennis" Heading, Please.

      The reason I believe it is as it is now is because there is generally very little tennis talk on the board.

      Right now, you're seeing quite a lot of posts because two Tennis games are releasing, but before that, no one talked about Tennis.

      The most we see here are single threads dedicated to the Grand Slam Tournaments when they are on. I'm not sure that activity warrants a forum for the sport.

      I'm sure if the activity was high enough, Tennis would get its own forum. As of now, there just isn't enough activity.

        I would think that a 'Tennis' heading should be added.

          More people would talk tennis if there was a dedicated forum for tennis. Kind of absurd that there isn't - especially with Top Spin 4 on the way.

          So, what do you say OS?? Tennis forum, please.

              I hate to sound like I'm just dropping a company line here, but you guys have to prove it.

              The Indian Wells ATP tournament is going on right now and yet, not a mention of it in this forum.

              The other forums have activity. Lots of it. Tennis still has none besides Top Spin 4.

                To be fair, the same argument could be made for Golf. Outside of the TW games, little to no golf talk goes on and the Golf forums often go unused unless it's for TW talk. I did see a thread last year for the Masters, but don't recall one for any of the other 3 majors or the other major golf events (WGC, Tour Championship, etc.)

                  Well Cro, you can still talk about tennis here without a dedicated forum.
                  why does there have to be one before people will talk tennis? lol

                    I think the difference is there's a Tiger Woods game every year and it generates a lot of sales and discussion.

                    Tennis has been the little step sister in gaming.

                    Hey, I'm not saying I don't want a Tennis forum either. I think that would be great. But, there's little reason to make that happen with the activity we see.

                    If this forum was bumping with Tennis threads about the game, the sport, etc. I'd be the first one to run to admin and tell them, we need a forum because it's getting too crazy in there to manage with the other sports.

                        Just so you guys know I am listening:

                        I am a decent tennis fan. I was a huge Agassi fan, loved Tim Henman, and currently follow Tomas Berdych. I am buying Top Spin 4 in about an hour. But with all of that, there is not enough traffic on these forums for a tennis specific header. If that changes, I will be the first one racing to make the forum. Until then, we have what we have.

                          Makes sense. Maybe the more buzz TS4 gets, the more people will play and have interest. It has to be in the running for sports game of the year, just an incredibly well done game so far.

                            Regardless of traffic, I don't think tennis should be buried under 'other sports'.

                            If Basketball and American Football and others get a whole subforum to themselves, then tennis should at least get one. Please
