Me.

If I liked a sport I'd play it, not watch others play it.

That sport is called watching.

That's like saying because you play guitar, you don't listen or watch music.

Watching and playing sports are both great.

I watched some of it live; I’ll replay the rest on Prime Video.

I really like this format. It’s so much more enjoyable than the big tournaments in which the men play marathon best of five set matches. Who has, or even wants to spend five hours watching one match?

The best of five set format also makes the game as much of an endurance contest as a test of tennis skills. The game would greatly benefit from all matches being best of three sets. Fans could continue to see their favorite pros play at the top of the game well into their late 30s.

I watched the Eagles Farewell I Tour recorded at the Rod Laver Arena. Does that count?
