Tennis anyone?

**lpicken** · 07-09-2007, 10:26 PM

This may belong in the workout forum, but I think its a pretty loungy subject. I just recently decided to partake in a little tennis. Yes, it is a sissy game but a hell of a workout nonetheless. Besides it is a great sport to play with your wife/girlfriend or meet one. Anybody here ever play?

Ive excelled in every sport I've done but for some reason I never did in tennis, was good but not excellent. Nonetheless, you are right it is a great workout and a sport you can mentally defeat yourself.

I love to play, never had a great serve but can return and volley very well. I still play and count it as my cardio and get some sun at the same time.

On a funny note, someone brought this topic up before and it turned it to a huge debate(fight) about wether or not tennis was a sport, it ended with a bunch of members being banned including pinnacle.

i spend time on a tennis court every weekend in the summer... it's great cardio. i am obsessed with it as a sport, including watching a lot on tv - i know some people find it excrutiatingly boring. i love it.

here's the thread about tennis and all the debates, that is if you define debates as a couple of knuckleheads getting in a pissing contest over the internet

Yeah, I remember that thread. Some real narrow minded people talking about Tennis.

Tennis is hard a hell and those guys are in friggin incredible shape. Watching a great tennis match is as good as any other sport as far as I'm concerned, the Federer vs. Nadal match this past weekend was outstanding.

I played competitive tennis up until I was 17 when the training and amount of time got too intense.

Yeah I had some free tickets to see the WTA and the speed of the game is mesmerizing and they were women.

Classic internet debate. Pinnacle was certainly being a bonehead. I really liked that guy, I have the quote from his avatar hanging "all fancy-like" on my wall. Anyways, I find that it is best in life to try new and challenging things reguardless of the "machichismo" factor involved. Who knows you just might learn something about yourself.

tennis is a sport and its not a sissy sport but a great one imo

**wascaptain5214** · 07-11-2007, 03:17 AM

a bro told me years ago....you want to meet chicks....play tennis. its a very true statement. i played in a adult mixed league for a couple of years. it is a great sport, but just like all sports i played, i sucked at it too.

**Dave-D** · 07-16-2007, 07:38 PM

I like it.

**l2elapse** · 07-16-2007, 07:44 PM
