I would have tried a little harder.

Only thing, they should make the women compete in Bikini's and the men in Speedo's. That would make it a little more interesting...

1. It definitely needs something.

I was watching it tonight, and I kept thinking, 'this is the dorkiest looking sport known to man'. Granted, those players were good at what they do, and would without question kick my ass, but for cryin' out loud, can't they jazz it up a bit? The court looks like something out of an 80s Atari game, and the rackets look like they buy 'em at Target. And jeez the clothing! The players all look like they're late for their junior high gym class.
