Tennis is good it's just womens tennis. All that feckin needless screaming. Makes me change channel faster than an infomercial.

For those of us who remember Pete Sampras' rather impressive but pointless .50-cal rifle serve, women's tennis is excellent. There is also the matter of Sorana Cirstea. Hoo-yaaah!!

I don't know did you ever watch Monica Seles playing, but I'd usually mute the television in case anyone heard and thought I was watching porn!

Maria Sharapova's scream/woooooooooooo drives me up the wall. Totally ruins a good game because I like the slower plays of womens tennis but I'll be ****ed if I can put up with the noise. Wish they'd crack down on it.

I think they've better rallies sometimes in the women's game because they don't hit as hard. Agreed about the screaming though.

I'm not having this.

It is patently obvious that men's tennis is better at volleys.

Not necessarily a good thing, though.

I think this would have disappeared without a trace only for the fact that someone thinking they were doing good decided to stir up trouble and fine the guy.

The same reason the English are useless at it. It's a class thing.

There's more public courts and clubs in the country now than there's ever been. I think we'll see more and more people taking it up in years to come. It's a relatively inexpensive hobby to pick up.

Golf used to be seen as an elitist sport at one point, now you find all levels of society playing it. I remember my towns club captain telling me when he was a boy in the 50s he wouldn't have been let in the gate of the club let alone become a member.

I like that about the world now, another example is a few of the Dublin players who were graduates of fee paying non-GAA schools, and some of the Leinster players being from humble non-rugby strongholds

This is why they aren't well liked; this victim complex they have. I suppose being black and poor in the United States is unpleasant to say the least and would scar you.

Pulling the race card is one thing but People who are scarred s***less of it been pulled to the extent of turning a blind eye is the disturbing part to me,I actually know someone who failed an exam pulled the race card and ended up getting passed
