had a couple today , "put ya foot down mate the tennis is on " :lol:
I can't be bothered with tennis purely because of all the pompous stuff that goes with it. The ball boys running everywhere, the standing to attention with your hand up offering a ball, etc. it makes it a different class game. I'm not a charver by any means but I can't buy into that [edited by admin] opinion?

I could get into it, if it wasn't for all the grunting,groaning, urring and arring - a total put off, for me.

Back in your/my day they were superbly fit, as they used to play in 90 degree heat for over 5 hours. In those days they often went up to 32 games to a set - as a one on one, there was no hiding place.

P.S. Just google the longest set....70 - 68 in 2010 taking 11 hours and 5 minutes :shock:

personally I quite like watching a set or two but a whole match is too long for me. My favourite is watching Andy murray lose but was disappointed this year :sad:

If you think mens is boring try watching the women longer rallies often better skills on show and some of them are quite Fit in more ways than one :wink:
