Aus Open destroys all other sporting events. And it's one of 4 majors. How many grand prixs are there? 20?
pepsi. You're alright. Especially when Woolworths sell your 2L bottles for $2. But c'mon man. You're likely to be looking at selective "facts". Put them in context bro?
The tennis is on for two weeks. The GP is on for a weekend. No wonder the AO is bigger with such an advantage. It'd be much more accurate to comparing it to the Men's final, 90mins of the Men's final.
If the AO was that big a deal. The GP wouldn't be in Melbourne. Can you imagine how the AO would go with the concentrated attack the media gives the GP, or how the GP is often on prior to the start or held the same weekend as rd1 of footy?
The AO has an advantage of being a GS, but it's a lightweight GS. 3rd or 4th in importance. The AGP is what I'll call in the 2nd tier of prestige.
The AO survives off fair weather support. I'm watching it now between overs of the BBL. The GP require a wiff of concentration to know what's going on. That's too much for the general public.
20 GP is bigger that 4GS +16ATP1000/500 events. How much more diluted in significance would the AO be with as many GS?
Many times in the past. The British GP is held on the same day as the Men's Wimbledon final. The Wimbledon final has the advantage of being held in London. The BGP is in the middle of relative whoop whoop, somewhere with terrible access wherever near Northamptonshire. BGP crowd≥ Wimbledon final.
Tell me more about social media? Who cares???
Come at me!!!
