Yes Sound that's what I was wondering too how can anyone not like Steffi. She was a great player without having to grunt like Seles. One more supporter for Steffi.

and one more in me.......😃

Yey another supporter for Steffi. Even I like Sampras and Jim Courier. Haven't seen much of Edbarg's game. Agassi was someone I was neutral about but later on became a fan of his. I think Agassi is the last player of the time when skill and talent was more important than muscle power and mechanical precision which it is now. Nowadays tennis is not that much fun as earlier, IMHO.

Btw, anyone remember that guy Michael Chang, the youngest GS winner. He was a really fast player and very athletic.

Yes Yes. Sure do remember Michael chang. From the same city dear. Very fast player. I used to enjoy his games too.

My likes: Cricket and Tennis and to an extend Golf-Billiards.

Cricket: By now everyone here knows my craze for Cricket. I caught this bug while growing up. I love the uncertainty till then end. Not these days though😃.

Tennis: I started playing Tennis at school and exceled in it which prompted me to play more and I became a pro. Still love it and keeps me fit.

Golf & Billiards: Golf and Billiards is something I was never fond of but spend many years around it when my dad used to play. Now my husband and I are members of country club here and Golf tournaments are part and parcel of it. To lend my support to hubby I have been a passive particpant in the game too. Still don't like them that much.

Something I want to do but scared: Sky diving. I love watching people doing it but I don't have the courage to attempt it😳.

I dislike (actually I don't tmind using the word hate here): WWF🤢🤢

😆 Abt MC running a sprint very true.

Long back wrestling and boxing were not on PPV so enjoyed Ali, Frazier, forman, ken norton . Even saw Ali losing to Leon Spinks. Those were the wonderful days 👏

My most fav memories are of watching MJ and Chicago Bulls play. Never missed a single game 😛

Baseball, College Football, College Basketball, Soccer maybe worldcup, cutting down on sports these days(nothing to do with Cricket😆, havent watched a Cricket match since 2003)

playing tennis (and teen patti if you might call it a sport😉)

Please all of you participate and lets relive our college school days and share our experiences with the rest of us here...

When in school used to follow cricket, mostly b'cos of my school, We won all the championships in cricket and soccer. Used to have a pretty good Cricket Team, in generations before me, my school put out two test players.

I remember my team beating up on Salil Ankola's bowling, 20 runs in a over in the district championship match, who knew he was going to end up playing for the country and the guy who hit 20 runs off of him not even play in Ranji?

Soccer is something I loved playing when I was in school

used to be a time when I was heavy into stats for Baseball, but gave that up too, cutting down on games in real life, more in board room these days😆
