The only interesting thing about tennis has the initials AK.

OK... you know the rules... where's the pictures?

[presidio9]

Just wait...

I can't stand to watch tennis on TV, but I got dragged to Wimbledon once and LOVED it! We had center court 3rd row seats and saw Conners play Pernfors like a cheap fiddle. I went back the next year too, but didn't get seats nearly as good.

I was once forced to go to a soccer match by the prospect of dating a girl who dug soccer. My only regret was that I couldn't find anything sharp enough to break the skin on my wrists.

[So Cal Rocket]

Ahhh.... the things we do for love (lust)...

I actually went to an Air Supply concert...

>It's tough luck for Mark Philippoussis, but otherwise a great relief all around that it is over for another year.

Everything isn't
for everyone. Screw this stuff.
I love Wimbledon.

Sure, I wish they had
some kind of roof. Sure I wish
rackets were smaller.

But I'm not relieved
it's over. Hell, I miss it,
and all I can do

is get ready for
the US Open next month.
(My only complaint

is that so many
women haven't raised their games
to match the Williams'...)

Eeeeeewwwwwwwwww.....

I'll take soccer over tennis any day, and I'm no soccer fan.

[ConfusedAndLovingIt]

Or play two different singles matches at the same time, on the same court

I would pay money to see some professional players play a match like this.

My only complaint is that they haven't figured out a way to get Anna into a finals match. Preferrably in some sort of form-fitting outfit. You can keep theose she-males.

[rattrap]

Game, set, match

[theFIRMbss]

>You can keep those she-males.

(I used to live on
the north side of Chicago.
A lot of she-males

(transexual men)
are a darn sight hotter than
WTA players...)

Aparently you have not seen post #9.

Soccer is better than ice dancing!

[SoDak]

Ouch, you win.

[Aquinasfan]

What brings people to it? After all, unrelieved boredom does not exactly come cheap.

LOL! I was thinking of yacht racing. It's a pick 'em.

Oh, maaaan. I hope it was all finally worth it.
