Is women’s tennis more popular than men’s tennis? Google stats answer the question.

Comparing terms “women’s tennis” and “men’s tennis”, the ladies score better when it comes to the number of Google searches in the United States. I find this statistic interesting, so I decided to dig deeper into these all-revealing numbers.

There is this ever-going debate whether men’s tennis is “worth” more than women’s tennis. A simple analysis of Google Trends can give us answers to a lot of questions. Google rates popularity of search terms on a scale of 1 to 100, 100 being peak popularity. The search engine started measuring data in 2004, so when I say all-time, it refers to the period from 2004 until now.
