Tennis fans

Hi, everybody!
The tennis is other of my favourite sports. I'll be glad if we can discuss it here. I played tennis in the University. Now I follow almost all the tournaments on TV. So, if you like talk about it ...

hello..

i'm not into tennis that much...but i have a friend who is. and i rember that we used to talk abt figure skating and tennis, blaming eachother (joking) that i can't see figure skating because of her tennis and viceversa...what do you do then? because there were occasions when eurosport had to choose...or it was figure skating and some international tennis competitions broadcasted by local tv channels...

have a nice day,
alexandra

Hi, dear Vania & Alexandra )
Vanechka, i az mnogo, mnogo pbocham tenisa!!
I play tennis from time to time.. it's my hobby )))
And I like Amelie Mauresmo from France very much.
Some people say she is "like a man", but not like a woman.. but I don't agree.. and also I love young bulgarian girl, you must know her -
Sesil Karatancheva She is soo cute girl! hehe

Здравей, Лерка. Разбира се, че знам Сесил Каратанчева, но за съжаление (не знам дали си чула) откриха, че е взимала допинг и има двегодишно наказание. Но нищо, тя е млада, има време пред нея. Сега имаме друга млада състезателка Цветана Пиронкова, тя постепенно се изкачва в ранглистата.

hello! You can welcome one of the biggest tennis freaks! I love watching this game!!! It's very interesting because it combines mental and physical strenght. My favourite players are Marat Safin(you must have heard about him, Lerka-he's amazing!), Rafa Nadal, Kim Cljisters and Maria Sharapova.

Sesil Karatancheva is btw not a very nice girl-she talks stupid things and she used to be a student at my primary school-she always used to say she was gonna be a successful tennis player., Not if she takes doping though.

I love to watch tennis, but I am pretty bad at playing!!!

I love Mauresmo, Seles and Sharapova for the women, and then the young British guy Andrew Murray, as well as Federer for the men.

оооххх, колко ми е жал!!
И така не я видях често, а сега.. Обаче не знам още Цветана, надявам се да я видя и да я харесвам!!!

Yes, Marie!! Of course, I know Marat Ohh, do you really think Sesil isn't nice? Ok, I believe you, dear.. but she seemed me to be a sweet one
I like Sharapova too, but she isn't nice either!!
I adore Elena Dementieva.. As for her, she is very sweet girl and a very good player!

Rachel, don't worry, I'm not good at playing either!! I like it, but I don't pley often, that's why I don't play well ) hehehehehe

Well a couple of years ago she said she was gonna kick Sharapova's ass but their last meeting finished 6:0 6:1 . She'd better do something and then talk. Also, not only did she took doping but she lied that she was pregnant. The tests proved that whe was not pregnant at all. So why does she lie?? The reporters asked her if she was really pregnant and she told them 'ask my father' what an answer????

Хаха, наистина ли така е казала Мноого забавно, значи и тя самата не знае какво да каже.
Лерка, и аз харесвам Дементиева. Малко ми е жал за нея, защото миналата или по-миналата година, не помня, игра два финала от големия шлем, но не можа да спечели. А на Ролан Гарос ми направи впечатление, че говори на френски, и то на отличен френски. Оттогава още повече я заобичах, защото и аз знам френски, завърших френска филология и сега по някакъв начин я чувствам близка.
Bye!

How do people in Russia think of Sharapova? I think she is quite unpopular???

I love Anastasia Myskina too

hello girls,
I love tennis since I was a little girls. I used to play tennis for 3 years but unfortunately had to quit:( but now I follow all the tournaments. It's pretty hard not to sleep the whole nights 4-5 days in a row because they play Miami now:( my favorites are....actually there are 2 my very very favorite players: Guillermo Coria and Elena Dementieva. But also I like many others, I like almost all the Argentinian team, especially David Nalbandian, and I like a lot the Spanish team (I even went to Belorussia in February to support Spaniards), especially Tommy Robredo, David Ferrer, Carlos Moya. Among ladies....it's hard to name many girls, because I like almost everyone, it's easier to say whom I don't like:)
hugs, christie

AAAAAAAAA,
David Ferrer defeated Roddick last night! I can't still believe that! I was jumping all over my room at 4am:)
He was so sweet while playing yesterday, with his long hair! OMG, how happy I am!

haha Andy-haters he used to be one of my favourites but he has begun to lose pretty often so now I don't like him. I'm used to my favourite player's losing to the stupidest guys on tour but Roddick has a big confidence and I just don't know where it all comes from-he's achieved nothing during the past year.

I like tennis too! I'm adore Martina Hingis!!!Also my respect to Masha Sharapova and Masha Kirilenko! And Roger Federer is FANTASTIC tennis-player!

MARI, congratulations for the title of Federer in Miami. He played just fantastic tennis. He's not between my favourite players, but I respect him because he's always fitghting to te end, and he's very talented!

There's something more about Roger. It's only the beginning of the article
UNICEF Appoints Tennis Champion Roger Federer as Goodwill Ambassador
Federer Lauded for Outstanding Commitment to the World’s Children

NEW YORK, 3 April 2006 – Roger Federer, the No. 1 tennis player on the ATP circuit and a passionate advocate for children, was appointed UNICEF’s newest Goodwill Ambassador today.

“Roger Federer will bring extraordinary energy and talents to working with UNICEF to improve the lives of children throughout the world,” UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman said. “Roger is not just a role model for aspiring athletes, but for all those who believe that we have the power and responsibility to make the world a better place for children.”

Grammy award winner Shakira, also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, joined Federer at UNICEF Headquarters. She presented Federer with the UNICEF pin, and said: “Welcome, Roger. It’s great what you’ve been doing with your foundation and you now plan to expand to the world through UNICEF. I’m happy that you joined the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador group.”

Like Shakira and other Goodwill Ambassadors such as David Beckham, Youssou N’dour, Vanessa Redgrave, Roger Moore and the late Danny Kaye and Audrey Hepburn, Federer will support UNICEF in its efforts to bring attention and resources to the world’s most vulnerable children.

What a wonderful match yesterday between Rafa Nadal and Federer - the final of Rome Masters! It was a real drama, thriller very interesting match! And Rafa has won (again) They played 5 hours

VAMOS RAFA!!!!

Citation:

Rome defending champion Rafael Nadal closed in on Guillermo Vilas' record of 53 consecutive clay court wins after defeating 2004 Rome champion Carlos Moya 6-1 2-6 6-2 on Tuesday to advance into the second round.

Nadal, who needs to win the tournament to break the record,....

And he did it , he has 53 wins and he needs one more to break that record. Fingers cross, Rafa!

Thanks for mentioning RAFA!!!

HE WAS JUST SENSATIONAL!!! AND HE IS SOOO YOUNGGG!


WE JUST LOOOOVE THAT YOUNG MAN!!!

Yeah, he is AWESOME. I like him too! I hope he will be the next Number 1 in ATP ranking!

I like Nadal very much too ! I remember that last year, I watched at TV every match he played during Rolland Garros, and this year, I will do it again (to tell you the truth, during Rolland Garros, I watch each match, I spend all my day in front of my TV ! ).
