When I was a kid I played football, basketball and baseball (as well as wrestling, boxing, track, cross-country, and even volleyball). I thought tennis looked kind of gay.
However, tennis is now the main sport I play (I take lessons, belong to a tennis club, and play league tennis and open tournaments). It's a lot harder than it looks, and takes more athleticism than you might imagine. Plus it's challenging mentally as well as physically.
Roddick hit a 143 mph serve today, and both men were consistently hitting balls in the 130's - that takes power to hit a ball that hard, and skill to get the ball in the service box consistently.
While I still prefer to watch football and basketball most, tennis is right up there among my favorite sports to watch. Oh yeah, and I like watching the women play tennis too!
I'm sure it's more fun to watch tennis if you are (or have been) a player.
