Tennis anyone?

[pilgrimgal]

I played tennis extensively when I was younger..can't play now except for table tennis (because of shoulder problems); but loved it once. My favorite part of the game was when I got a chance to run to the net and slam one back at my opponent.

If you have a favorite part of the game please share it..or tell one of your "tennis stories."

Used to play alot of tennis. Trained upto 20 hours a week, both technical and physical training(at the tennis association), and played invitational youth tournaments. But totally destroyed my knee, shoulder, wrist, elbow and minor but still chronic problems in groin and achilles areas(can't even walk without pain anymore /o\), so needless to say don't play anymore. But still absolutely love the game, best sport in the world, absolutely sure of that.

Do you watch the matches on TV? My husband watches the baseball games so I get somewhat involved in that. I miss playing tennis but, like you, have physical limitations now. Loved it when I did it and did it for years even offered a coaching job..high school level way back when I started teaching but didn't take that job. Got a better job but no tennis. :o

Yeah sure watch matches on TV, mainly the Grand Slams(saw alot of the Isner-Mahut thriller) also go down to my old club from time to time to check out some matches there. Who knows sis, you might one day get a coaching job if the Lord has that planned for you.
