French Open

What great semi finals this afternoon. I enjoyed every minute of it from 1 pm through to 8.45 pm. I'm looking forward to the women's final tomorrow now, should be a close one and wouldn't like to predict a winner. If I was forced to make a prediction I think it would have to be Francesca Schiavone as she has the experience from last year but Na Li is playing really well, so it should be very close!

Tennis Fan From An Early Age

I have been a tennis fan since around the age of five. From this very young age I remember my mum glued to the television for two solid weeks watching Wimbledon. I have been to this tournament many times since and look forward to it every year. My ambition now is to visit the other Grand Slams. Some of my favourite playeres from the past include Ken Rosewall, Cliff Drysdale, Bjorn Borg, Adriano Panatta, Pete Sampras, Kevin Curren, Arnaud Boetsch, Evonne Cawley, Martina Navratilova Hana Manlikova and Jana Navotna. I would love to hear from other fans of this wonderful sport.
