Tennis is taking a huge hit this year. I know there are some amazing young players coming up, but when Rafa & Venus retire, so does my interest in tennis.

I feel extremely fortunate to have been able to see such a beautiful tennis player instead of the mostly bang-bang players we have today. Arthur Ashe was another graceful player (IMHO).
