Wonder if anyone here is into tennis, whether it be playing or watching? It'll be cool to know any Yui lovers who are into tennis as well. Another two hours till the Wimbledon men's singles finals between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. To be honest, before Federer came along, I hadn't followed tennis proper since the days of Sampras, Agassi, Edberg, Lendl, etc. But Federer is just something else. The things he does can sometimes look impossible. Watching him play, I even thought of calling tennis THE "beautiful game" (and that's coming from me, an avid soccer fan!)! The women's game has also become more interesting, especially with hotties like Daniela Hantuchova! In Japan, the anime "Prince of Tennis" is a major inspiration in growing tennis here, as did "Captain Tsubasa" with soccer. Ok, just a few of my thoughts on the wonderful sport of tennis :) Go Fed-ex! |

I don't really watch tennis but I do watch sometimes. I like Andy Murray and Martina Hingis. Used to like Carlos Moya when I was young. He was one of the best players then. And I like Serena Williams too. But I don't know what's happened to her lately. |

Federer to beat Nadal later at Wimbledon finals. Nadal may be the king of clay, but he's up against the king of grass right in his own backyard XD |

Nadal just won the 3rd set, with Federer getting the earlier 2 sets. I'm a big Federer fan, but have to say, pretty impressed with Nadal. A lot of Agassi in him. Almost like I'm seeing Sampras play Agassi, these two
;) Anyway, at least, I'll be able to watch Federer play longer :D |

Yeah, Rafa's a pretty good player actually. For a specialist clay player, even Federer was surprised that Rafa reached the Wimbledon final. This is one rivalry that I and most tennis fans are really gonna enjoy, like the days of Agassi vs Sampras. It's a shame the gap between these two and other players has widened further. Hmm.. hope this year's US Open will be more challenging. Jojo: Another "Prince of Tennis" fan, I see. Yeah, pretty cool anime. Just finshed watching it already actually. Haven't watched the anime movie yet though, where he plays his brother on a cruise ship. Mada mada dane! :biggrin |
