July 4, 200619 yr Does anyone play tennis? I started a few days ago and somewhere in my hand is strained cause of improper grip and I didn't use my legs for power. But I've gotten used to tennis now. Had to adjust from table tennis, which uses more wrist. Also is anyone watching wimbledon? I'm rooting for sharapova and federer to dominate. And was hoping for underdogs nadal and na li.
July 4, 200619 yr i play tennis since im 4. i had to stop at the age of 15 though, the club had no money and i nowhere to play anymore, but i play whenever i get the possibility to. i dont watch all the wimbledon games, no time.
July 4, 200619 yr I've always been kind of divided on tennis. On one hand, I think it's a great athletic sport, with great drama. Looking back to rivalries like Connors and McEnroe and the way Federer plays is just art. Poetry in motion. Beautiful. Then on the other hand, there's this toffy, middle class English image stuck with Tennis, which really detests me. And I can't see people at the LTA really making any effort to change it. It seems too exclusive to those with money and heritage, in England. That's why I loved the Williams' sisters rise to prominence. A family from a tough neighbourhood, learning on hard, uneven courts, and a family coached by a devoted father. That's the essence of many great sports, but not British tennis, I'm afraid. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

Pfft, Li was no match for our Clijsters :) Next match: Clijsters-Henin AGAIN. Darn it, they always meet eachother in the last rounds, I'd like to see another Beglian finale again. As for the men: Federer deserves to win, and he most likely will. Bill Hicks[/url]":dhj2kan9]Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating.

July 5, 200619 yr I could have gone on Monday but what with the heat and not buying tickets beforehand i didnt. My parents did go and they said it was good even though they didn't get to watch any 'Internationally known' players. And I'm not really rooting for anyone to win this year, I haven't made up my mind whether i really like Nadal or not, so I supose I'm hoping Hewit will do it.
July 5, 200619 yr I play tennis, I'm pretty good. But then again I'm good at many sports :D anyway NIEMINEN!!! c'moon! Nadal is going down!
July 5, 200619 yr Federer just wins, he doesnt look 1/10th as good as nadal. Nadal ftw! so fun to watch...SO FREAKING FAST!
July 5, 200619 yr Federer just wins, he doesnt look 1/10th as good as nadal. Nadal ftw! so fun to watch...SO FREAKING FAST! Your post is laughable. Sure, Nadal might be quick during points but...in...between...points...on...his...service...he...is...as...slow...as...this...post. Federer plays tennis of the immortals. I'm beginning to think he may be more machine than man. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
July 5, 200619 yr I play Badminton? I smash at about 230mph excess, if that's good? County FTW :P But i love Tennis, watching it i mean - I have, well had, supported Murray, but i now like Hewit. Also - Not a single American in the Men's last 8 :shock: The Bryan Brother's, Wow, they owned :P Low level player's with life,'s 'noobs, make high level players with out lifes feel good about themselve's. But, it's only untill the high level player realise's how unfulfilled his life is, it's to late to apologise.
July 5, 200619 yr When ever I see Federer play tennis, it makes me want to play tennis. He just makes it look so easy. This is the way the world ends. Look at this [bleep]ing shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm splitting, Jack.
July 5, 200619 yr When ever I see Federer play tennis, it makes me want to play tennis. He just makes it look so easy. He's like the Henry of Tennis, he score's goal's with ease, Federer wins game's with ease. :P Low level player's with life,'s 'noobs, make high level players with out lifes feel good about themselve's. But, it's only untill the high level player realise's how unfulfilled his life is, it's to late to apologise.
July 5, 200619 yr Anyone seen today's Federer-Ancic game? He wasn't as divine as usual, but still loads better than a well-playing Ancic.

July 6, 200619 yr I used to play tennis, and take lessons and such. Then I realised I really had no interest in it, so I quit. (I started because my family made me, that's pretty much how everything in my life has gone so far). It's positively torturous to watch on TV...Perhaps my least favourite sport to watch...So boring, so long and it's basically the same thing over and over (I also dislike basketball for the same reason).
July 6, 200619 yr I have played tennis for a few years now and am playing on my JV team at school. Its a great sport :P . Unfortunately I didnt get a chance to watch wimbledon but I always love watching it when I can. Btw, I remember posting a thought provoking tennis debate a long time ago. In fact here it is: http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=254827&highlight=tennis+ball :lol:
July 7, 200619 yr Author wow nadal is actually in the finals. I think federer still is going to win though.
July 8, 200619 yr I think Federer is going to win, but it's going to be tight, I think. Federer did lose two times in a row to Nadal right? One time Roland Garros final (few weeks ago) and I thought a final of another pretty big tournament. Both on gravel though (I thought). Still think Federer is going to have a hard time against Nadal. [edit] In terms of who won most out of the duelts. They played against eachother 7 times. Nadal won 6, Federer won 1. In the duels there were 4 finals: Nadal won them all.

July 8, 200619 yr Table Tennis ftw!!! I used to play quite regularly (every weekend with my mate) but we slowly got bored of it and moved onto golf, I love it :P Check out my blog here!Thanks Jopie211 for the sig

July 9, 200619 yr Nadal is not an underdog, how dare you call him an underdog. He's one of the best Clay court (of course this is grass court) players of all time. He's won like 55 straight matches on clay. I hate him and Federer, but I like Sharapova for obvious reasons. :oops: We all do :D
