I wouldn't know about footie Jay - 22 over-paid "big girl's blouses" running around on grass, rolling in agony over the slightest thing, bad-mouthing each other and spitting all over the place:rolleyes: Then getting cramp after 90 minutes of kicking a ball about. Not my idea of sporting heroes I'm afraid..

Give me tennis any day - stamina, courage, technique, speed, acrobatics, strength. light-ness of touch, deftness, hand to eye co-ordination, mental and physical battling...the list goes on!

Murray World Number One -that's my next prediction :hothothot:alright::hothothot

Tennis has had more than its share of bad-mouthing!

Nerves sometimes do get frayed -nothing compared to footie though! Don't think anyone's ever been taken to court for example...

I loved John McEnroes outbursts and Jimmy Connors -added colour to the game and was never really offensive. :):D

Never really offensive? You cannot be serious!

Sorry, I couldn't resist that.

It takes courage to get up from the chair and carry on playing a match which has been going on for over 3, 4 or even 5 hours! No team to suport you -just you and your conviction that you can win...

As to Rugby -love it, all those big blokes grappling in the mud...Mmmmm!;):D

Rate it 1000 times Footie!

First Grand Slam of the year has finished it's first week in Oz. Seen some top tennis -Djokovich has just gone through to the Semi's with a good win over Berdych but was lucky to squeak through the round before against a very strong Wawrinka. Federer is in great shape as is Andy Murray -both breezed into the quarter finals, they'll be playing tomorrow. Should be a week of great tennis ahead -C'mon Andy!!:alright:

Well done Murray, The final will be much harder though imho.

Re: Grand Slam Tennis 2012
 
Was a great match, was on the edge of my seat -Murray's fitness level is incredible -out-classed Federer who fought really hard to hang in for 5 sets.

Should be a fantastic final - may the best man win on the day! C'mon Andy!!:alright:
