I am known as something of a tennis fanatic - hence the quotes in my sig. While in college I did independent study & a symposium on women's tennis & feminism, and I played about every day. I even cut class fto see the Australian Open, a tourney I can't stand. I have tennis things hanging around me & several books. Courting Danger is my favorite feel-good book, though some fans now claim that Alice Marble was a delusional old woman who made up all these amazing stories and presented them as real. I choose to think of them as real.
At present I can't play - I've struggled with a wrist injury for nine years, and i am on medication for a very bad back.
Last week I talked with my friend Pat about hitting the cages after my back heals, but I don't know when that will be. The twisting could be the worst thing.
So these days tennis is for viewing & all I do is weights.
BTW, Gabriela Sabatini runs rings around Kournikova in terms of hotness.
