Why did I stop playing tennis?

I used to play tennis back when i was 12. My coach was this pain in the ass old timer who just for kicks would make training at 8am on Saturday and Sunday.

One fine weekend, the coach mentions something to my mum about sending me to this junior national training camp or something. I was 12, you think I cared about tennis? I lived and breathed football.

When the time came to choose between going to this junior national tennis camp or going for the district football try-outs, you could guess which one i picked.

No regrets though. Probably couldn't make a future playing tennis either. The men's circuit back then was competitive with Becker, Lendl, Wilander, Egberg and etc fighting it out. Didn't really care about the women's circuit much.

These days it's the total opposite. Was watching the highlights from Wimbeldon earlier and the I must say the women's circuit is certainly more exciting. Doesn't help some of the players are real eye-candy.


Daniela Hantuchova


Elena Dementieva


Maria Sharapova


And of course the one who makes more money off the court than on the court,

Anna Kournikova


There are others too but this post might never end. Time to find my old racket I say. Fancy a game anyone?
