OK HERES THE DEAL!     I WASN'T A TENNIS PLAYER UNTIL I WAS 15 OR 16 .

WHERE I GREW UP YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A FIGHT IF YOUR BUDDIES KNEW YOU WERE A  PLAYER--- SO I PLAYED EVERY OTHER SPORT AND SNUCK TENNIS IN WHERE I COULD.

FOOTBALL- BASEBALL- BASKETBALL --AND THIS IS NO BS--THE TOUGHEST SPORT KNOWN TO MAN   (BUT UNKNOWN TO 99 PERCENT OF THE WORLD)  - 1 WALL HAND BALL.

ANDY MURRAY AND NOVACK DJOKOVIC ARE THE PERSONIFICATION OF  THE REASON TENNIS IS NOT ATTRACTIVE TO THE AMERICA PSHYCHE-- AND WHY I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A FIGHT WITH MY BUDDIES ALL THE TIME IF THEY KNEW I WAS A SERIOUS TENNIS PLAYER.

ANDY RODDICK AND MARDY FISH ARE THE PERSONIFICATION OF WHY IT SHOULD BE ATTRACTIVE!


GO ON THE COURT READY TO PLAY --OR DON'T SHOW UP !

 WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH WATCHING YOU LOOK AT YOUR MOMMY OR ENTOURAGE EVERY TIME YOU DUMP A BALL INTO THE NET-- OR TRY AN IDIOTIC DROP SHOT FROM 10 FEET BEHIND THE BASELINE- OR  MOPE AROUND LIKE YOUR NEW PUPPY  WAS JUST RUN OVER--- BECAUSE YOU ARE OF BREATH FROM RUNNING FOR A FEW SHOTS  THAT WERE FARAWAY FROM YOU.

I ABSOLOUTLY LOVE TENNIS-- BUT IT KILLS ME TO WATCH THE THE DRAMA THAT A FEW SPOILED BRATS EXHIBIT BECAUSE SOMEONE IS THERE TO CODDLE THEM EVERY TIME THE GOING GETS NASTY.

MARDY AND ANDY MAKE ME PROUD--- SURE RODDICK GETS ON THE CHAIR UMPIRES SOMETIMES BUT ITS A FIGHTING ATTITUDE--- NOT WHINEY OR MOPEY!

FEDERER SHUTS UP AND PLAYS--NADAL SHUTS UP AND PLAYS-FISH SHUTS UP AND PLAYS


WHATS UP WITH MURRAY AND DJOKOVIC?  I REALLY WISH THEY'ED JUST SHUT UP AND PLAY!
