I love tennis! I like to play 2 or 3 times a week, except I'm having an operation on my wrist next Tuesday. (Too much tennis!) Does anyone else play or watch tennis?

I can't wait for the French Open on monday. Go Lleyton!!!!!!

I played in high school and still play sometimes, but not as much as I would like.

I love tennis. Unfortunately, when I got married, my wife made me stop playing with the girl that was so good that she received a full scholorship into college to play. I lost interest after that. I still look for people to play with, but they are rare.

I watch it from time to time. I do, however, like the womens matches more. Their's something about women bending over that just can't be ignored [img]tongue.gif[/img] . Besides we've got a few contenders now too. Two of them. that's more then we've ever got.

Yes! I play lotz in the summer, maybe 5-6 times a week weather permitting in the UK. But recently I've hurt myshoulder so it's a [img]graemlins/nono.gif[/img]

Fav Player? Not Tim Henman I can tell you that now. Lleyton is okay [img]smile.gif[/img] , Agassi, also Henin!!! Yes in fact I like Henin from Belgium, I love her backhand (as in tennis backhand )!

She can really smack the ball with that one. Onehanded backhands are rare, even with the men. She's always been using this style of play. At least she says she did. I'm from Belgium by the way so i'm looking forward to see wath our ladies can do this year. Last year we had a finalist. Maybe this year they can do the same or maybe even better.

I have been practising my one-handed backhand, and I have based my training on Henin's. I just can't figure out how she seems to have so much time!!! I guess it's just great movement.

Anyway, it's nice to find some other people with a love of tennis. I will be watching the French Open with great interest, so I'm sure to post about it occassionally.

Aviendha.
