Tennis is still pretty Popular around the World. 5.1 Million people watched the womens french Open Final in France alone. I think the most watched WNBA game here in the States drew 3.2 Million.

Tennis and Soccer are way more popular than NFL worldwide but I believe more people can name NFL players than Tennis and Soccer players in the US

I couldn't name two soccer players, but I think most everyone in the US has heard of Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, and Serena Williams.
It’s clear that Clark’s profile is being held down by the lack of popularity of the league. If she were playing in a league with established popularity, the sky would be the limit.

Caitlin Clark Is Fourth Most Popular Athlete In America According To ESPN Data
Right now Caitlan Clark is the current "flavor of the month" in the sports world. She gained her popularity because of the media and she'll lose it just as quickly when they stop covering her. It's nothing new. Her shelf life is probably four years dating from her senior year in the NCAA when she set the scoring record. That gives her one season after this and the novelty of her will start to fade.

We’ll see. I see her almost like a Taylor Swift, where there’s a large group of people who may love her play, but also just love her. I don’t think that will change.
The WNBA is much more watchable now than 20 or so years ago, and there are players other than CC that can ball, especially on the better teams. However, I recently watched a Dallas game to see Paige Bueckers and it was painful to watch the missed layups and brick jumpers from her teammates (poor Paige) - the crummier teams have a lot more room for improvement in quality of play.

Angel Reese should now realize that she is not the face of the WNBA and shut her mouth
Her stats don’t back up her mouth either.
AND . . . . Then in her next game she becomes the second youngest in WNBA history to post a triple double 😆😆
A lot easier to get those when youre basically assured double digit rebounds off your own missed layups lol. The fact it took her that long to do it pretty much says everything.

I had never heard of Coco Gauff either until this thread.
I no longer watch or follow tennis. However when I did, I found the women's game more interesting to watch because of the longer rallies.
