    The new TW:Still too much fluff

    I've  just  checked out  the latest  issue of the print  version of TW  and  there is  still way  too  much  fluff and not  enough tennis. The article about the Miami tournament has  pictures  of celebrities in attendance.With  the  exception  of Gabby Sabatini, none  of  the celebs  has anything to do with tennis. Woody Harrelson is a  fine comedic  actor but who  cares if  he watched a tennis  match? There is a photo of  a  fashion editor  at  the Sampras-Federer match. Again who  cares if she watched  the match? Most likely she only came to  the match  because  she got a free ticket  and  box  of popcorn. There is a picture  of  Elton  John at  a tennis court. If this were 1975 it  might  be a  big  deal  but he hasn't had a hit  since  the Ford Administration. If  he  wants  to  hobnob  with celebs  that's  his business but I  sure  don't  care.

    If this new TW is  to  survive  they need  to put  some  tennis  in  it  and  stop  trying  to be People magazine.
