Kayso...... I know absolutely nothing about tennis. All I know is there are bright green balls that always seem to catch my eye, rackets, and last time I played when I was 9, I smacked the ball into a car.
![]() Nonetheless, my boyfriend Drew plays Varsity tennis for his school, and my other friend Drew is pretty much the biggest tennis fanatic I've met. They're both trying to get me to watch it, and so I watched a bit of the game today. I'm very intrigued. I'm pretty clueless about what's going on and how many points each serve is worth, but it's very entertaining. Anyway... is anyone else watching the game? |

I'm a huge tennis fanatic myself. I play the sport and I watch it. I've seen players like Roger Federer, Lleyton Hewitt, Andy Roddick, James Blake, Mardy Fish, the Byran brothers, Knowles&Nestor, Max Mirnyi play in person (Master's Cup of 2004 and U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships) and I've also met, talked and gotten autographs from some of those players.
I'm not that big on WTA. I'm a fan of Clijsters, Henin-Hardenne and Davenport, but that's about it. I can't stand the William sisters or Sharapova. I have tons of favorites for the mens though. But I am a hypocrite when I criticize Andy Roddick for being a jerk since Lleyton Hewitt is my favorite guy (just because he's an Aussie). I obviously consider Roger Federer the best, but sometimes it's more fun rooting for the underdog. I'm still a fan of Henman, and of course I love Agassi. Haas, Baghdatis, Safin and others are cool, too. I just can't STAND Andy Roddick. (I've witnessed him a couple of times in person...) Anyway, yes I'm like a tennis nerd. |
