Tennis?

This might be a bit of a long shot, but is anyone else into tennis at the moment? I love watching the French Open, Queen’s and Wimbledon at this time of year- I think of summer and strawberries and cream whenever I watch tennis. Anyone have any favourite players? Federer is undoubtedly the best and he’s just so much fun to watch. Plus, he’s very good looking. :laughing:

So, anyone else watching?

I kind of wanted James Blake to go far this year in Wimbledon, but of course…he goes out in the first round :laughing:

The country seems to be really gunning for Murray to win the tournament, which makes me think he’s going to be out of Wimbledon quite early. I think the pressure will get to him and basically ruin any chances he had.

I think Roddick will get further than usual now that Nadal is out of the competition, but I think the title is gonna go to Federer once again, and probably deservedly so. He is the greatest player…pretty much ever. And he seems like a fairly nice person, so that’s all good!

On a small aside, how great is the theme for Wimbledon?

I love tennis. For Wimbledon, I want Blake or Nadal to win. I think Federer or Murray might win it all.

As for playing tennis, I suck at it, but I do find a lot of fun playing it. I am a net player and I love to do overhead smashes when the opportunity arises.

Mark-E- Yeah, I like Blake too…It’s a shame he went out so quickly. I think Murray will go far, perhaps even into the semis, or if he’s lucky, to the final itself, but I’m not sure if he’ll actually win. And yes, the theme for Wimbledon is awesome this year! :smiley:

TSS- Yeah, shame about Nadal and that knee problem of his. He looked very upset when he had to go.

Overhead smashes are by far the most fun thing to do in tennis. :laughing:

lizardgirl: Are you a tennis player? Do you sometimes like to pick up the racket and start swinging away?

Tennis- I used to play quite a bit at school, but I don’t anymore as we’re older students and therefore we apparently don’t want to play tennis anymore. :stuck_out_tongue:

But yes, sometimes it’s fun to just pick up a racket and start swinging away. :laughing:

My twin brother still plays tennis and aims to get better. In my family, he is the tennis expert. He loves Nadal and believes he will become one of the best players that evered played the game.
