Your favorite songs for before a tennis match?

I guess it depends on what kind of player you are. If you're gonna pound the living out of the ball, Rage Against the Machine, Rise Against, Metallica.

You know what...now that i think about it, Wake Me Up wouldn't be that bad to calm yourself down if you're too tense and serious before a match. Tennis is all about having fun, right? Besides, if you laugh a lot between points you might make your opponent think you're laughing at him. :-D

I don't really listen to anything the day of my matches. Just visualize what I am going to do out on the court. Anybody else do this besides listen to music?

I never really listen to pump up songs before a match but if I were to listen to one probably Stronger - Kayne West

Never listened to music before tennis. I usually drive to the court, listen to whatever is played on the radio, and play.

What we did, when driving to a bike race at the times I was seriously ridin' bike was listening to ZZ Top: Sharp Dressed Men at full volume. Imagine a bunch of people in a bus, dressed in spandex, listening to that.

Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. That's life.
