I think Robson will be top 16/top 10 one day.

Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’ -
I like the way you've become our Tennis Correspondent.

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

Yeah, you. You're really into it.

I am into it. Always have been - I played as a youngster. But I'm getting more into it - Murray's rise and the glorious state of men's tennis is obviously a contributory factor, but I enjoy it greatly because it just seems very pure sport to me. Whoever wins always wins on merit. There's no bull**** decisions or any of the bull**** that surrounds football. It's graceful, it's powerful and it's seriously ****ing hard going.
I've such admiration for those guys, charging around for up to five hours at such intensity. Must be an enormous strain on the body - all those sharp turns, changes of direction etc. It's just really great sport.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

I used to play it too. I don't find it as watchable as you but I can see what you like about it. I have realised I tend to prefer watching the women - well, some of them. I'm so f*cking middle aged.

Well said. I played when I was younger also, and wish I had had coaching as advised. It is a great sport to play.
Tennis (well mens Tennis) is my favourite sport right now.
Thats right, favourite

Haha. Some of the women......jeez.Originally posted by Neil Young View PostI used to play it too. I don't find it as watchable as you but I can see what you like about it. I have realised I tend to prefer watching the women - well, some of them. I'm so f*cking middle aged.
The standard is pretty poor in the women's game though - and the grunting really puts me off. So many of them do it.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

Playing tennis was great - I'd love to have a game now. I used to find it intensely stressful though - it's the most irritating game to play. I used to smash the **** out of my racketsOriginally posted by Buzzo View Post

Yeah, the low standard really ruins my viewing experience.Originally posted by Shaggy View PostHaha. Some of the women......jeez.

I quite like the grunting. When both of them do it can get quite rhythmic...

Serving wasn't it? I had a bullet of a first serve (if accurate) but an absolute dolly of a second serve...Originally posted by Shaggy View PostPlaying tennis was great - I'd love to have a game now.

Never got stressed serving - always during rallies. If I ****ed up easy shots usually, unforced errors. Either repeatedly beat the ground with my racket or just launch it for ****ing miles.

I was a baseliner when it was cool to serve and volley
Tried to mix it up though and go to the net when I could.
Had a mate who I played regularly who was the most stressful bloke ever to play - all he ever did was 'get it back'. Never went for his shots, just got it back mid-court every time, and just waited for me/whoever he was playing to make an unforced error. Got particularly angry playing against him.
