I've never seen a Super -bowl, what am I missing ? Seriously Im not much into footie. I love any sport that makes people HAPPY! Myself, Im a Massive tennis fan The Laver Cup was Absolutely Brilliant!!! I watch all year round, even went Wimbledon for the 1 st time this year. Let's love and enjoy both! Life guys, is soooo short!! X

Unfortunately definitely the Super Bowl for those in the USA. Personally, I don't like American football and don't watch. Tennis is much more interesting and fun to watch. and an international sport. A tennis spectator can learn a lot about the countries of the world if they really follow players from all over.

janegraham2919622w ago

Wimbledon is Tennis!!! I've never been into football but Love ALL tennis everywhere. New York is Far too Noisy especially iff they're drunk! No wonder Sascha took to Bouncing so much! Lol....needed it to shut up. Nah Wimbldon FOREVER❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

For the American people definitely the superbowl, but for the rest of the world it's the tennis. American football just doesn't do it for me and the rest of the world outside the USA. Even rugby is more universal than American football

camerondesc12w ago

Definitely the Super Bowl. Don’t think it’s up for debate really. The viewing figures speak for themselves.

getjeffrey2w ago

Does the U.S. Open have upwards of 100M viewers on any given day during the tournament? That would be a no. Not even close is an understatement.

Am I the only one that thinks Andy Roddick can be an idiot. He thinks saying things with authority, or conviction, means smart. It doesn't.

dale.odonnell2w ago

Whilst I enjoy tennis, the Super Bowl is undeniably the bigger sporting event.

tufidonna2w ago

I love tennis but I think the super bowl is bigger in the US.

freddie2w ago

It’s the SuperBowl

kyle.dimond2w ago

Super Bowl attracts people who don’t even follow the NFL. No question.

daviescallum422w ago

US Open by far, although Americans will probs disagree. It gets huge crowds for 3 weeks now, has HUGE prize money, and attracts all the world’s biggest celebrities. Tennis on 🔝 Super Bowl most overrated sporting event ever

johnverrall112w ago

The US Open is far bigger worldwide for three weeks than the Super Bowl

jordan.harris2w ago

tom.procter2w ago

Roddick has the rose-tinted specs on. Super Bowl is far bigger

lee.connor2w ago

The Super Bowl by an absolute country mile. I wouldn’t even know when the US Open tennis is on, whereas even though I don’t watch the NFL I’m always fully aware when it’s SuperBowl weekend. I’m sure the SuperBowl has more worldwide appeal too, whereas I imagine the tennis is purely attracting those just in America.

lrandall12102w ago

I’d say the Super Bowl, feel like Tennis is more niche here

kilham.max2w ago

Has to be the Super Bowl. The US Open isn't even the biggest Grand Slam. Wimbledon and Roland Garros are greater events.

daviescallum422w ago

That doesn’t mean it can’t be bigger. Wimbledon & RG are both bigger than the Super Bowl IMO, and the US Op

leeclarke05082w ago

Clearly it's the Super Bowl but NFL not for me so much prefer to watch the US Open. The US Open isn't even the major that the players desperately want to win in the sport.

markmarston2w ago

The Super Bowl yeah… probs not even close tbf. Tennis is a lot bigger sport than many realise tho and it much more global than American Football.

david.comerford2w ago

If we're going by viewership - the ultimate metric - then it's the Super Bowl surely?

jamesshearman232w ago

Whether you like it or not, the Super Bowl is absolutely miles bigger. People who don’t watch the NFL will stay up for the Super Bowl. Only tennis fans care about the US Open

walkercharlie8282w ago

The Super Bowl and it's not even remotely close

ahambly232w ago

Super Bowl by a mile - the tennis US Open isn't even the biggest sporting event called the US Open

antonymmartin842w ago

I’m not an NFL fan at all, hate the sport. But…I would say it’s definitely bigger than the US open

walkercharlie8282w ago

Add it to the list

aaditya.krishnamurthy2w ago

I wouldn’t even say it’s a lateral comparison - one is a one night championship game, the other is a three-week tournament

matthew.johns2w ago

I would love to say it’s the US Open, but I would be lying. The Super Bowl is absolutely huge, even just for the half time show alone!

seanfisher2w ago

Definitely the Super Bowl… even if it is America-centric… it’s huge. US Open is one of four Grand Slams, and is obviously huge but not as big

aaditya.krishnamurthy2w ago

Not sure how this is a question - the US Open isn’t even the most prestigious of the big four tournaments, while the Super Bowl as an event is so huge that it ends up garnering attention despite most people in the world not even knowing about American Football

jamie.theodosi2w ago

No contest, the Super Bowl is one of the biggest sporting events in the world, not just America.

jordan.harris2w ago

Don’t care for either but it’s definitely the Super Bowl surely?

charlesjones2w ago

Not even close. It’s the Super Bowl of course

peter.lynch2w ago

There’s no debate here imo… Super Bowl takes it and most Americans will surely agree. It’s just huge and unmissable for millions, which I don’t think is the case for the US Open

george.patten2w ago

It’s the Super Bowl. US Open is a big deal, but in America it’s incomparable to the Super Bowl. You ask Americans who won the Super Bowl this year, a lot more of them will tell you the right answer than would say Zverev/Rybakina if you asked them the same question for the US Open

daviescallum422w ago

US Open by far, although Americans will probs disagree. It gets huge crowds for 3 weeks now, has HUGE prize money, and attracts all the world’s biggest celebrities. Tennis on 🔝
