Here's a good one.....what makes you play tennis??

[Morpheus]

Got nothing better to do.

For me, playing tennis is a lot more fun than playing golf. Individual competition, vigorous exercise, something you can play until you're old, and it's just fun. I like to try to parallel what happens in my matches with what I see on TV. I also enjoy beating people with names like Chad Dimple.

A candy colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room everynight
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep, everything is alright
I close my eyes then I drift away
Into the magic night I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream
My dreams of you, a perfect stroke, effortless

Good answer, Chad. That perfectly executed one hander is HARD to beat.

I hope that candy coloured clown isn't Bill "Short Eyes" Tilden. LOL

i play because Im addicted to the sport, sometimes I suck and I wanna quit but I know that I never am, I always keep playing, everyday, I love it.

I play tennis because of the poetry the game represents for myself and those like me. My earings shine brightly in the warm sun. I also like the feeling of my totally shaven body in flight as I rip groundstrokes in to the corners and lunge at service returns.

I love the art of each player. However, you must also have a respect for mechanics as well. When you combine the art and mechanics you create your own style, and you have something unique to offer. It gives you a personality with which to play the game. I enjoy having this and the athleticism tennis requires. It is not a brutal sport like football, nor a thinking sport like golf. You must have the talent of an all-around to do well on the court.
