<p>But is it better? I'd rather watch Wimbledon singles or the US Open singles because it is a "mano y mano", just like boxing. No coaching allowed, and the crowd has to decide who to root for based on individual qualities, not "my team, right or wrong". Also, the level of play is higher at the Slams. College has a great level of play, but it isn't the Top 3 of the world.</p>
