I love tennis! I play it every time I go to the park. People tell my sister and me that we should join our school's tennis team, but I'm deathly afraid of getting hit in the face with a tennis ball. :/ Almost happened to me once....I've officially been scarred. lol And like attonbitus said, it keeps you in shape. :)

I play tennis for more fun than sport; it's usually during Soccer season in the school year. However I do student coaching/directing and I had the pleasure of coaching a city team for 11 year old boys. ^_^
It really is a fun sport to play. My tennis racquet got a hole in the middle the other day during a one on one game I was playing with my friend, Andrew. XD It was so funny, I went to hit the ball and it went right through.

I play tennis ^_^ So let's discuss: Who is/are your favorite player/s? Which Grand Slam, if any, is your fave? What's your "weapon"? Is there anything specific you want to work on in your game? For me, I love the Serbs. Ana Ivanovic, Novak Djokovic, and Jelena Jankovic are all really talented and nice people IMO. My style of play I think is most similar to Ivanovic so I've been watching her play and seeing what I could do to enhance my own game. I also need to just keep working on footwork so I stay in balance and can be in position to be offensive ^_^ My favorite Grand Slam is probably Wimbledon though I really like the French Open at Roland Garros as well. My weapon is a work in progress right now xD But I think my serve is pretty good ^^; I think mainly I need to work on staying focused, maintaining footwork, and not dropping my wrist during my swing. And just to say, I'm so happy Ivanovic won the French! =D I think Rafa will win tomorrow since he is just so dominant on clay. You never know, though; anything can happen

I don't watch tennis a lot but I watch Novak Djokovich's matches. He's funny. ^^

I dont play tennis (i played it a few times in school and I managed to hit the ball the lengh of 2 courts over 3 tall fences and into a field next to the school and my teacher sent me in to look for it, got the life stung out of me, guess I dont know my own strengh) I do love watching it though pretty much all I do during the summer. My favorite player is Nadal ohh hes so fit hope he wins Wimbleton, my family has a vendetta against Federer. Favorite grand slam has got to be wimbleton of course its a tradition in my house and my mom and sister are going over next week to see Nadal lol.

Anyone else really surprised with the events at Wimbledon this year? There were so many upsets! I think Nadal will take the title this year but I'm really surprised Safin is still in it to be honest xDD

Yea, you're definitely right, Nadal will take the title.
And what about Serena, making the fastest women's severing speed?!

I don't like watching tennis, it bores me. xD But I do enjoy playing it, and I've been taking lessons/playing since forever. I was going to join a team in HS, but I didn't really have the time and so I just do it for fun now. It's a great sport, though. :]

@west: Do you mean Venus? Or did Serena beat Venus' record today? I'm pretty sure that Venus had the record serving speed but I could be wrong ^^; I really want an all Williams final this year. I think it would be very interesting The Chinese girl who beat Ana is still in it too, which is great for China @ kyo: I love playing and watching tennis ^_^ I play a lot and I was on the highschool team We had the worst skirts ever that year But yes, it is a great sport

@empy: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was Serena. I think she served 127 mph! Did you have to where those one piece skirt things? That's what the girls at my school had to play in.
@kyogoon: You probably have been playing longer than I have. I started maybe four years ago, but now I'm one of the best on the team. Next year, I'll either be second singles or first doubles.

^ I've been playing since 4th grade, and now I'm in HS, so yah. xD You must be really good, though, to be one of the best on your team.
@empy: They need to get better/prettier skirts. ;0 My school has some horrible skirts, as well. Indeed it is. And it gives you a great workout. =D

But then again, my school is tiny, so there is not that much competition within my team. ;]
