Many of sports greatest ever moments involve controversy

Tennis is actually quite a boring sport if you just have players banging the ball back and forth. The interesting part is the psychological side, the perceived injustice of a wrong call and resulting meltdowns, all that's gone.

And apart from anything else, it just sounds so robotic, like watching a computer game.
