lol@tennis
yep...been watching it since the beginning. surprised by andy roddick's early departure. but that's what you get for messin' with anna kornakova. HA!!!
i dont like tennis
but i love golf its always fun to watch tiger
does anyone have a chance to beat federer?
federer is not playing his best but hes still only lost 1 set, and that was to kiefer. But we'll see.. agassi did take federer to five sets last year at the US open, but since then in other tournaments federer has no problems against him. I think there is a good chance agassi will make it to the final.

Roddick is a product of traditional American mentality. Big, heavy forehand with a cannon serve with little else.Quote:

Big servers win tie breaks, Roddick certainly does not fit that mold. That indicates his place in the tennis rankings.
I have been watching U.S. Open, cant believe no Williams sisters are in the semi-finals either, Yip someone beat Federer hmmm :rolleyes: cant remember when or where or his name now,,,LOL Glad to see a tournament for unknowns to enter & play w/ seeded players,,, :cool:Quote:

My favorite tennis player is Ivan Lendl.
That was a kick ass match Blake vs. Agassi ,,,next Federer vs. Hewitt & the womens finals Pierce vs. Clijsters (LOL is that how u spell it) I'm high ;)
It sucks that Dementieva lost. I was rooting for her. I thought what Pierce did-taking a twelve minutes "injury time-out" gave her an unfair advantage. She obviously had no injury-shes just old and tired and needed an extra break. well it doesnt matter, because Klijsters is going to beat her in the end
roddick does look like the one from american pie though fedder will win
tennis blows
So does cricket, but I've never said anything.
I just learned how to play tennis and it is FUN! I thought the sport sucked until i stared playin. I dont play often but i enjoy it. I think i like it because i love ping pong. it is almost the same thing on a bigger table
ok, i dont play criket
You can't bend the court over and play tennis with yourself. I guess you can use a wall.
All sports are awesome, as long as you have a competitive nature.Quote:
