In a different sense from the men?  One of the recent Aus Open women's semis
was a downright pointless 6-3 6-1 affair, and the final was a straight-sets
win.  If it's tennis-related entertainment that counts, as against cheesecake
underwear shots, doubles tournaments should be attracting the big prize
money.

Tennis is past it anyway.  They need a rule change to make it interesting
again.  I've heard it suggested that they should do away with the second
serve, but I reckon just making the service boxes shorter (half a metre or
so) would do it.
