My wife is, and watches the major tournaments religiously. The finals match at Wimbledon between Federer and Djokovic is a war and worth turning on—right now!

That was the best match I've seen in a long time.



... stirred anti-clockwise.

I worked on a monster photoshoot/video with Djokovic a couple of years ago. He had the personality of a rock.

That match was epic.

My ex-wife was a big tennis fan, and I don't follow it but I had brunch today and it was on the TV. I can appreciate a good match when I see one.

That was one for the ages.

I don't follow tennis. Last week we were in a building and they had it on. I forget the players name but it was his 100th Wimbelton match??? Hope I have that right.I apologize but that was the most boring thing I've ever seen. Hit the ball and once and awhile the other guy hit it back. Then they'd wipe the sweat . Tap balls on the ground. Walk around abit. Adjust their shirt or shorts. Then repeat. Every so often they hit the ball back and forth twice. Worse than baseball or golf. All I could think is how do people follow this sport?

Tennis is a lot more enjoyable if you've ever played any type of racquet sport ever. Hell, even ping pong or a good video game gives you enough to be able to appreciate the strategy and skill involved.

I thought tennis was boring as heck until college when I started playing racquetball and pong pong. I'm not a die hard but I will try to catch grand slam finals when I can and they are usually very enjoyable.

was an epic match no doubt. i told my wife if it were boxing and the score looked like that i'd be wondering if Djokovic threw a couple of rounds.

It was a great match and matchup.
I was pullin' for Federer but it is what it is.
I used to be into Tennis big time many years ago as youth (played on HS team and then college).
Slowly drifted away when the Golf bug bit me - bigtime.
But the match was enjoyable.
