Any One For Tennis?

Wimbeldon starts tomorrow.I love to watch the tennis but the grunts of the women players really annoys me.I liked the "old days" with the likes of McEnroe etc.I've only been once to Wimbeldon in the 80s.Any tennis fans out there?

I preferred the old days, too. The grunts annoy and I don't know half the players anymore - I used to tune in all Wimbledon fortnight but these days I can take it or leave it.

It's the spitting that puts me off.

I only watch the Men's tennis as I find the women's tennis can be rather tedious.

That surprises me ST, I have never seen anyone spit at Wimbledon in all the years I've watched it.
Plenty of that going on in football though

Yes, Spitting is disgusting, and should not be condoned.

Sorry, but I don't like tennis, or cricket - or football!

Re: Any One For Tennis?

Hour upon hour of watching two people whacking a small yellow ball?.
No thanks

22 men chasing a slightly larger ball around a field?... Pass

Watching several men hitting a tiny ball into a tiny hole with sticks? ZZZzzzzzz

Re: Any One For Tennis?

Love it! I don't follow any other sport, but the second week of Wimbledon sees me glued to the tv. I hate the grunting, too, and don't watch much of the women's tennis, but still really enjoy the men's singles matches.

i won't be getting much done next week...
