I don’t know, and probably similar to Tour organizers, I don’t care.  I am just happy, as they are, to see people supporting tennis, even in a recession.  Apparently though, I should only be moderately surprised.  The Billie Jean King Cup, which took place in March, still pulled in 12,000 people…and some of those tickets were $1,000 a piece.
