A thread for all you tennis lovers .

Squash is the way forward.


Whenever I play tennis my friend always beats me then laughs in my face, so I don't tend to play it much. But I'm a big fan of squash, and also hockey (well that's not exactly a racquet, it's more of a stick..) and badminton. I play badders with the same friend, and then I beat her and laugh in her face. It's a fun game

I used to play tennis for a year, but it's not really my thing, though. I watch the Grand Slams, anyway. Just too bad the Dutch suck at it.

I'm looking forward to the Australian Open.

i like playing um that one 'sport' where you hit the birdie..i 4got what its called..and i offically seem slow...

I went to the Medibank International in Sydney yesterday It was pretty cool, I saw James Blake, Amelie Mauresmo, Kim Clijsters and Rafael Nadal (before he got injured and pulled out).

I'm a tennis player. It's great when I can concentrate and pay attention to the contact point but most of the time, I can't do that so I end up not being able to return feeds and I get insanely frustrated.



Badminton.

yes! thank you!!

I play tennis! It's the only sport I'm decent at. I played for my school team, that was a lot of fun.

I just watched Federer walk over Roddick.

Roddick accidently threw his raquet at the Asian cameraman in frustration. How embarassing.

I'm so saddened that Gael Monfils got knocked out. He was a living legend on court.

^
He certainly needs the whole court to fit in his "personality" - ok he is young and if he can tune it down a notch or two he might be fun to watch.

^^
Yeah,Fed was in spanking mood - that raquet throwing was bone headed (someone called him a "punk" for that - they abuse that word all the time )

Serena made it to the finals - if nothing else she got a great tast in music - so I will support a fellow GD fan (can´t stomac the noise mashine anyways)

Tommy plays Gonzo tomorrow - evenso he is a fellow countryman I have to go with Gonzo - Haas can be quiet an asswhole at times

She likes Green Day? I didn't know. But I wanted her to win the womens because she's black

Like them? - she is obsessed Venus too

After her AO win in 2005 she said,she wanted to win so baldly,because they put up pictures of the winners in the hallway of the stadium and since GD would play there in a few weeks she wanted them to see her picture twise.Well - what ever it takes

I love Federer. He's the best player right now. And I hope he wins on Sunday.
I also hope he's gonna win all of the 4 gran slam this year. It would be awesome.

^
Watched the Gonzo-Haas match this morning - thank god I can´t stand Haas or it would have been painful to watch.
After the match I turned my radio on and the guy there goes - "Some sports news.It´s now official,Gonzalez will lose to Federer on Sunday - he beat Tommy Haas in straight sets to reach the final.... lol

What´s not so funny,the womens final is at 3:30am German time - I might have to dream it up.

Well, I was supporting Serena, but this final was rather one sided. 6-1, 6-2 for Serena.

Yeah. Federer is the bomb. It'll shall be a very interesting final.


Yeah, I was going for Serena too Quite the embarassment for Maria

Green wins

Now if you could combine the tennis smarts of Hingis with the skill and power of Serena - that would be something.

As for the mens final - there is only one thing to say - Hopp,Roger!!!!!!

Roger is gonna pwn today

Roger - over and out

Yay. He is unstopable

YEAH TENNIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I played and had lessons since i was about 8-9 but not very often so i never got that good at it so i quit last year. My favourite player is Rafael Nadal.

My favorite player is Taylor Dent.. He's a serve-and-volleyer, but he's been out for over a year for a back injury. Anyone has any news about him?
I don't think so..
Ciao!

I love badminton!! I used to be gret at it in school!!

I love tennis I play every week at my local club which is really awesome. Trouble is they're all outside courts, so in the Winter it gets rained off a lot.
I enjoy badminton too, though I've only been playing that since christmas

we're playing tennies in gym right now. boy is my wrist killing me or what!

I have a slight disliking for tennis. Probably cus I'm not too good.
I prefer badminton, and it is one of the sports I actually have skill in. However I wasn't good enough for the team so I was cut

i have a tennis joke:

-so, you think you know everything there is to know in tennis?
-yeah
-well, how many holes are there in the racket?


and we're not playing tennis in gym anymore, now we're playing golf

can someone help me out for tennis i get these 2 mix up how do you do a backhand and how do you do a front hand

WOAH! Roger Federer just won the Wimbledon, London mens singles tournement! He won it like, 3 mins ago!

Awesome final by the way. I started to watch during the third set, but it was way better than previous years.

Legend though, Roger. 5 times in a row. And I bet it'll be 6 in a year.

I used to play tennis, lessons ya know.
But now I've been playing Badminton since freshman year.
So two years on my school JV team.
I fucking love to play badminton.


Anyone have a favorite brand of Badminton racquets?

I've got a Yonex. But i really want a Carlton.

I missed the whole damn tournament.

i watched the maria sharapova vs. venus williams game the other day. its pretty cool listening to them scream, or whatever they're doing.


everytime i watch that sport im all confused. i dont even know who wins. like when it says "def." next to the guys name, i cant figure out whether he won or lost. its just like golf.

Badminton is the best raqet sport by far.. tennis is ok tough

Don't like raquet sports much. I've had tennis lessons for the past 5 years, and my mum has finally let me stop hehe.

I just say go on Federer, otherwise I'll get beaten up by the swissers xD.

I play tennis for 8 Years now , and is til frikking suck, I want to BMX.My favorite male player is Djokovich and Female SharapovaIf you are righthanded, then is a Front had with one hand you swing you're racket on the left side , a backhand is with 2 handsand you hit the ball on the left side, if your lefthanded , it's al the other wayConfusing huh :lol:Edit: You swing you racket on the right side with a front hand , srry i was wrong

I've been on the badminton team at my school for the past three years and i love it. It's a shame it doesn't get more respect at my school though, because it really is challenging when played competively. Oh well

I love tennis!

i miss the andre agassi days.

I really like playing tennis and I'm good at it. I only play tennis in the summer because I don't find a lot of time for it
Sadly I can't play tennis at or with school. At my school we always play Volleyball and I suck at it.

I seriously love badmitton. I started a list at my school to try and get a team going. We have a lot of signatures but no coach. D:

i love football but i've always been a bit of a tennis freak. I'll lose every single point but i cant say i dont enjoy doing it. and watching it is just bliss.. go djokovic! go gasquet! go federer! fuck nadal

Is anyone watching the australian open? Baghdadis and Hewitt match is amazing right now, but yesterdays Federer match was AMAZING.

I watched the whole Baghdadis and Hewitt match, it blew me away!

it was amazing wasnt it?

yeah, it was so good, even though i didn't know who to go for -

i could have gone foe hewitt cos hes aussie, but against him cos he's a knob!

sorta bummed that he lost tonight though

Bagdaitis guy was hott so i was rooting for him.
