As it’s the off season what’s the craziest.............

[Mainad]

Watching sports in a pub? That's crazy!

Second only to watching it in the comfort of your own home.

Watching live tennis matches on my computer in the office while my manager is standing right next to me with her back turned. That's more intense than facing Nadal on Philippe Chatrier!

You deserved that trophy almost as much as he did!

 

[Standaa]

Not too crazy but I watched some of the Paris Masters this year on a plane from Dubai to Hong Kong.

I watched the 2019 Wimbledon final in the air on my ipad while wingsuit flying in La Guajira, Columbia.

True story.

I will embarrass myself with this question but you get wi-fi on airplane?

 

[The Blond Blur]

I haven't really watched tennis in a "crazy" location, but this meme sums up how crazy I am about the sport

 

[SamprasisGOAT]

Watched 99 US Open final at the family of a girl I was dating at the time. It was on a small tv in the kitchen. Everyone else was in the living room watching a football game. I was the weird “tennis boyfriend” lol.

The weird tennis boyfriend

1993 Sampras-Courier Wimbledon final in a wooden hunter's shack in a forest in Austria on a tv powered by a car battery.

Okay you win

You win the thread!

I was just kidding. I'd never fly in a wingsuit, afraid of heights! Looks like a lot of fun though, other than it being pretty much the most dangerous thing possible.

I watched parts of Miami 2019 in a wing restaurant. I’m sure @MichaelNadal would approve!

Absolutely

Please do it again, it worked for Fed.

You'd be surprised how many of Nadal's slams he has due to good wings

 

[Mike Sams]

Wow you really hate Nadal a lot. Even I'm blushing.

Actually I was implying that facing Nadal at RG is a very scary proposition. Just as scary as watching live streams on a work computer while the manager is standing right there. Nadal is a legend. No hate from me

On the beach or driving multiple times I don't think it's even strange now.

Once in a baby shower... my gf got a little pissed off and it wasn't even a decent match in the end.

Man of my own heart.

With another person, it was crazy

I've been on planes where you can get wifi, but it costs money. Even then, I couldn't figure out how to set it up.

Place you’ve ever watched a tennis match?

Over the years I’ve watched tennis in some crazy places and crazy countries.

The Gambia in a shack Federer vs nadal Indian Wells 2012 locals didn’t know what was going on with the tennis and I didn’t because there was human **** floating around on the toilet floor and the beer cost like 20 cents/pence

Las Vegas in Caesars palace casino federer vs nadal 2012 Australian semi gambling on a classic like that was an experience

Longboat key retirement home Federer vs Djokovic 2011 French semi was a really strict place with loads of rules and I was charging around like some sort of mad bull

Nashville bar on broadway had to ask the bar staff like 6 times a tip them for them to put on Federer vs Murray 2015

Disney land Florida Epcot sports bar for the Federer vs Murray 2010 Australian final

New York City Essex house hotel room the Federer vs soderling french final 2009 girlfriend at the time was not happy

Mallorca English run pub Federer vs Murray 2012 Wimbledon the whole bar of drunken English people were screaming for Murray apart from me and my dad nearly ended in a brawl

Cologne in a huge beer joint Federer vs Djokovic Wimbledon final 2014 great experience and got absolutely hammered

Madrid in a locals bar downtown for the wawrinka vs nadal Australian 2014 let’s just say I wasn’t popular

Literally hundreds more.

I’ve watched on trains, in airport bars, the middle of the night, all throughout days at work, I recently watched the Tsitsipas nadal yec match at work.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to experience Sampras matches like this because of my age when Pete was playing. I’m 31 now. I fell for Pete in the 1998 and 1999 Wimbledon semi finals against henman and then in the 1999 final against Agassi had me sold.

As everyone knows Sampras is my all time favourite Player with Federer being second but some of the times I’ve had watching Federer around the world and with my dad are unforgettable moments. What a player he is and has been. I watched the Djokovic round robin match with my dad last week and it was another special Rodge moment.

God tennis is a great sport

The craziest place I've ever seen a tennis match is centre court for the 2019 men's Wimbledon final.

I planned for 3 years to get the ticket, and my scheme came together at the last minute and I scored the ticket.

Throughout the match I kept pinching myself and thinking I can't believe I'm watching a Wimbledon final live.

And then there was the match itself. I have never felt so gutted in my life.

You sound like a cool guy. Hope your love for sports never dies and wish you many years more to enjoy your friendship with your dad. Treasure it.

You can wifi on a lot of airlines now. In this case though they had live TV channels which included sports (I flew with Emirates).
