I WAS BEING SERIOUS WHEN I SAID LET'S TALK ABOUT TENNIS. Gawd.

I don't really believe you, but whatever. I guess you are??? I'm glad you aren't fat. Really. Considering obesity is a problem these days.... Wait actually I do now i guess considering your job on your profile. Forget that^

I'm not even going to respond to you if you're going to start a flaming war. You're trying to make me look stupid when 1) I was being dead serious and 2) it never works...

People always say tennis is a sissy sport, and whether you like it or not, it's one of the hardest sports there is. It takes 100% constant mental focus, great physical condition, power (which goes with physical condition)...everything. You can't lack ANYTHING if you want to be good at this sport. In Football you can lack speed, they can just stick you on the front line and you just tackle the guy you're designated to tackle. In soccer you can lack upper body strength. You don't always have to have 100% mental focus in baseball when you're sitting in the dug-out. You have a little time to rest. I could go on but i'll stop.
But then the biggest thing to add is that in all those sports, you can get coaching! In tennis, if you get an ounce of coaching you're disqualified.
I think tennis is THE hardest sport.

Very, very true. Although I'm not that good a tennis, I'm still learning, but I love playing it. Tennis is also hard, because you can't always practice it in your backyard. I would love to have a tennis court in my backyard, but theres no room.

That's another thing, all those other sports you can practice without needing another person there with you (and like you said, it's usually convenient). In tennis, all you can do is your serve, or rent a ball machine (eventually gets expensive...believe me ^_~). And both of those you have to go to a court to do.manufan15 said:
Tennis is incredible though. Best sport alive. Soccer is 2nd.

"Who would you want to win Wimby" and "Who's gonna win Wimby?" are 2 hugely different questions. :/
As an American and an admirer of the guys serve (c'mon, it's freaking fast), I say Roddick. Who's gonna win? Federer. He always wins, always will till he starts hitting 30 I presume. I hate him because he's so cocky...have you read some interviews on him? Gawd.
I have a tennis page in my Profile you know. :wink:
