I actually think tennis is the greatest individual sport and is still very under appreciated. Players go out on court and there’s no fixed time. They have to be physically and mentally prepared to last hours if necessary. There are no coaches so they have to deal with everything themselves. There are strict rules about being treated for cramp too. Spare a thought for the umpires. They get in that chair and officiate for that duration. Line umpires are rotated every 45 minutes but not the chair.
