84. When you take your laptop into class just to watch a scoreboard and have your facial expressions reflect the changing scorelines.

86. You trawl through websites looking for pics of your favourite player in action in a match,because their match wasn't on TV or Livestreamed.

87. You surreptitiously watch live streams at work with a discreet earpiece hidden under your hair and then ruin the subterfuge by shrieking at great shots/exciting moments.

I can relate!! Except my experiences have been in a college environment, and every time the teacher comes around I hide the live stream window by another window only to get really angry and storm out of the library when my fav loses.

88. You stop playing tennis (pretending to have a headache) and goes straight to the nearest TV in a Resort when someone walks by and says "Federer just lost 1st set against Isner".

Re: You know you are an obsessed tennis fan when you...
89. When even your little brother from 3 years old tells you that you watch too much tennis 
90. When you most of the times know who the people in the player's box are.
91. When you correct it if a commentator gives wrong information about a player during a match.
92. When you're already thinking what you'll write on MTF right after you watched a match.

Re: You know you are an obsessed tennis fan when you...
I'm cracking up here reading it and i don't know if i should feel pathetic or just normal that i find myself in many of the posts.
Anyways,
97. (During AO) When you get 3, 4 hours tops of sleep per night when normally you'd sleep around 10
98. When you watch Asian qualies for Hopman Cup with God knows which players and enjoy it

100. When you stay on to watch a whole useless football match, just to make sure that you don't miss the tennis match that follows after.

101. When the WTA chokefest that precedes the men's match you're waiting for goes into a decisive and frustrating 3rd set

102. When you sit in front of your computer in the middle of a paper for school, furiously hitting refreh on the livescores page to see if it will be 15-30 or 30-15 in a 1st round match in Chile between South American qualifiers.
