We had a major tennis boom back in the 80's large following
of McEnroe, Bjorg, McEwen, Laver, Connors, Ashe, then
the Agassi group (1st time) but its kind of died down. Right now
Womens is more interesting. They do get superstar status but
not as much as I've seen overseas.
I wouldn't say barely noticed, but nowhere as ignored as say cycling. and
not even close to Baseball of Football (or Basketball where there are serious
high dollar Pop star players).
