<INSERT NAME> FOR YOUR LOVE FOR TENNIS....

Who's the reason that tennis caught your eye?
Which player made you feel Tennis was it all?
Name either 1 female and/or 1 male player.

Marcelo Rios :worship:

Martina Hingis and Andre Agassi

When I was younger : Mats Wilander, he made me discover tennis

For which player I continue to watch tennis nowadays : Fernando Gonzalez
I consider that Thomas Enqvist and Carlos Moya will end very soon their carreer, they made me dream a lot and I enjoyed my time watching them, I planned to stop going to the tournaments after their retirements, but a few months ago, Fernando proved me that it was a bad idea :)

Female player : Gaby Sabatini. I was a huge fan

Laver/Rosewall
Goolagong

John MacEnroe :)

Juan Carlos Ferrero :drool:

I first started watching tennis in pre-school/kindergarten with Borg and Johnny Mac.

Then I loved to watch (and had huge crushes on) Edberg and Wilander. :inlove:

Watching Becker win his first Wimbledon was exciting and really made me focus more and more on the wide array of players in tennis and not just focusing on one or two.

My favorite female players were Gaby, Graf (first tennis superstar that I saw live- at the Family Circle Cup in Charleston, SC) and Seles.

Gabriela Sabatini
Guillermo Vilas

Kim Clijsters
Goran Ivanisevic

Martina Hingis & Jan Siemerink

Stefan Edberg:worship: (my alltime fav)

Gabriela Sabatini :worship:

*Denaon, me thinks Gaby should make a return in your av :)*

Thomas Muster & Jarkko Nieminen

Borg

And Hewitt made me bjorn again. ;)

Sampras

Stefan Edberg:worship: (my alltime fav)

Gabriela Sabatini :worship:

*Denaon, me thinks Gaby should make a return in your av :)*

Goran Ivanisevic- he was just too crazy, i couldn't help but love him :hearts:
who got me obsessed? federer i guess

I started loving tennis 4 years ago thanks to
2002 Guillermo Cañas
Then he got injured and my actual idol replaced him
Guille 'El mago' Coria

sampras. :worship:

Johnny Mac.

In the 90s, I was so bored with the players (not naming them) that I almost stopped watching.

Then Guga came along, and my love for the game came back and with it a love for the clay court players.

Stefan Edberg :worship:

:worship: Steffi Graff and Boris Becker when I was child
then Marcelo Rios and Martina Hingis
and now Marat Safin and Kim Clijsters :worship:

it was the agassi sampras rivalry for me :)
also Michael Chang and Stefan Edberg
oh and Steffi Graf :worship:
and Kamiko Date

Goran Ivanisevic definitely caught my eye, he is one of a kind (although he said there were three of him, lol).
In women's game, Martina Hingis :worship:

Stefan Edberg/Boris Becker and Steffi Graf/Gabriela Sabatini.
And then Juan Carlos Ferrero for my comeback.

Stefan Edberg and Steffi Graf.

I just recently started following tennis on a regular basis...

So,

Roger Federer
Andre Agassi

Ferrero :hug:

don budge. back in the 30s when i was getting bored with tennis due to being middle aged.

Seles/Courier

don budge. back in the 30s when i was getting bored with tennis due to being middle aged.

Pah! Spencer Gore was my first tennistic love.

The first match I had seen in full was the Federer/Sampras 2001 Wimbledon match. (I was 14) Before then, I thought tennis was boring. Boy was I wrong. So I guess Federer got me hooked, and keeps me hooked. Safin also plays a big role now.

Martina Nav. and following closely behind Aranxta Sanchez-Vicario (though for more superficial reasons than tennis related :angel: )

At first JMac when I was first starting to get to a competitive stage of playing. His genius was unmistakeable.

Then Becker in the mid-80's an now Federer for his beautiful game.

She will, sooner or later.... :yeah: But I gotta find one pic that I really want to use as an avie ;)

Now, Lady_Carlita, Clara Bow, Rosie and enqvistfan.......if I were multimillionare I would give you each $1 million for naming Gaby :hearts:, but i'm not so I just give you :kiss: :kiss: :hug: :smooch:thanks hun :hug: :kiss: back at ya! ;) Well, Gaby was the only one I liked to watch....I'm no WTA fan..... but she's cool! Still is!! I even wear her perfumes :lol: :yeah:

stefan edberg

Marat Safin
Kim clijsters

Not for my current love of tennis but for my discovering and starting to love tennis:

1. YANNICK NOAH

2. MATS WILANDER

I wasn't born in their era but my father made me watch tapes of their matches etc...

well..the match was Pete Sampras/Andre Agassi Us open final; the player was Pete Sampras...
And now...I am a huge fan of Mariano Puerta&Marat Safin

The girl: Seles and now Kim Cljsters

At first JMac when I was first starting to get to a competitive stage of playing. His genius was unmistakeable.

Then Becker in the mid-80's an now Federer for his beautiful game.How old are you, 75?

Guillermo Vilas and Yvonne Goolagong.
Later on Mats Wilander, and Gabriela Sabatini who along with Martina Hingis were the most elegant female players with a most engaging smile.

Carlos Moya

ATP: Stefan Edberg made me take notice...
then after he retired I became a big fan of Bjorkman and Kafelnikov

WTA: Anke Huber and Conchita Martinez

SWEET PETE!

Bjorn Borg. :) :)

And also Arthur Ashe.

I guess Arancha Sánchez Vicario

and many more later ;)

As a kid, I was interested in McEnroe and Navratilova, and later Seles.

But it was Agassi who led to my full-fledged tennis addiction. ;)

Nicolas Massu :worship:

Amelie Mauresmo :worship:

Jonas was the one who brought me to tennis, by his impersonations during a rain delay on tv one year :lol: Before this time, I loathed the sport, thought it was sooo boring without even giving it a chance ;) I saw him a couple of years after this, in DC, and it pretty much cemented my love for tennis/swedes.

Jurgen Melzer is my heir to the throne. Watching him play, how pumped up he can get (he can also be reasonably boring) and his attitude generally impressed me. It's hard to explain what I like about him. The whole package I suppose. There are so many people out there who dislike him or his game, and many who don't even know (of) the guy.

I don't believe in the WTA so this will have to do ;)

Lindsay Davenport

Lindsay Davenport
