I'm kinda surprised we don't have this topic on SBM.

Discuss about this sport. Do you play/watch it? If you watch it, what is your favourite player? You can discuss about the tournaments coming soon as well.

I play it since I was 7 and watch it since I was 9. My favourite tennis player is Roger Federer but I also really like Rafael Nadal. You can call me a "Fedal" fan. :P

I played this back in 7th and 8th grade. It's one of the few sports that I actually like to play, and I'm okay at it.

Oh, and I am a pro at Wii tennis, if that counts.

I have to say that tennis is right up there with golf in "Most Exciting Sports to Watch" for me. Which is too bad, because my sister loves it and various tournaments are on all the time in my house. I did play rec tennis in high school though, and unofficially "won" Most Improved.

Yes, Wii Tennis is fun too. I haven't played that in years.

Sometimes I'll watch tennis if I'm in the mood, I wouldn't call myself an avid follower though. I've tried playing it myself, didn't turn out well XD. That said, both of my sisters play tennis and they're pretty good.

I'm so freeaking terrible at tennis, but me at anything involving coordination tbh.

I don't watch regularly at all but my father is obsessed. I admit it's entertaining but I don't ever watch it for some reason.. maybe one day.

I've played tennis since I was 5 or 6 but I recently started playing for my school. I've never watched tennis in my life though.

World No. 2 Novak Djokovic lost to World No. 117 Denis Istomin today in 5 sets in the Australian Open second round. What a match! (Djokovic won the Australian Open six times: 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016)

Federer, Nadal and Murray fans must be so happy right now (including me). Xd

I love how Roger Federer is playing. I'm so proud of him :D

And how could the old man Nadal beat a teenager in 5 SETS?

Nadal won't even reach the semi finals. He will play against difficult players :rofl:
He will be back when he wins the tournament ;)
He finally won a 5-set match. It's a little sign he's back, but he's not definitely back. We'll see...

A Rafa/Federer final should be fun. And the women's finals is the Williams sisters! I do like Serena, but part of me can't help but pull for Venus to win this one.
