I like Federer too. But I dont root for him like I use to root for Andre Agassi.
I basically root for Federer out of default. I just cant get excited about any tennis players right now. I'd rather see domination of this kind than watch two no name guys go at it in the finals of a French Open.

Federer isnt my favorite player, I cant say I even have one at the moment. I root for him, Rafael Nadal, James Blake, and thats pretty much about it. Cant stand Roddick and take pleasure in rooting against him.

Like in horse racing, I miss the 90's when there were many guys I could look forward to watching and rooting for in good competition...Agassi, Sampras, Courier, Edberg, Becker, Stich, Bruguera and Chang.

If it wasnt for this domination by Federer I probably wouldnt watch at all. I just cant get excited about watching Roddick drill serves and throw tantrum fits like he is John Mcenroe. Maybe I should set my alarm for every 2 years when Safin decides to actually compete?

I'd love to play. I started playing and got pretty good in college. I had a part time job at a tennis academy and learned from a few guys who played on the satellite tour. I love to play, biggest problem for me is finding people to play with. My steady tennis partner has bad knee problems and cant play all that much anymore.

Aside hitting a bit with my wife, I havent played in like 3 years. Lets do it.

OK you are on. I'm sure the high school up there has some courts we can get on.
