Tennis !!!

YEAHHHHHHHH!!! Today was the women's finals on the Grand Slam tournament in Paris! Guess who won????
BELGIUM !!! with our Justine Henin-Hardenne!!
This is the 3rd time she won this tournament!!And her 5th Grand Slam!!

She beat our other Belgium topplayer Kim Clijsters (World #2) in the semi-finals!!

He he, I am a bit ashamed that Belgium is NOT selected for the World Cup Soccer , but at least Belgium has VERY good tennis-players

Who else is a tennis fan here????

I just saw it in the news - Congrats!!

I used to watch a lot of tennis in the 80s and 90s, but I was never a fan of the German top players, Boris Becker and Steffi Graf.

You didn't like Steffi Graf ? She was very talented and I loved to see her play! But BB, no, didn't like him very much either

Well, in the 80s, there were some years when she won literally EVERY tournament, which was really boring. I remember she was once defeted in the Finals of the French Open by Aranxia Sanchez (or was it Monica Seles, I'm not sure), and I thought that was cool.

She always seemed to be too eager to win, I didn't like that.

I don't play tennis but dabble in raquetball. Now that is a fun game

Anybody watched the men's finals today? They were both very good, but young Nadal won, very deserved!!!

I didn't see it, Lut. I was out, but heard the result of the first set, which was a bit of a shocker. Next time I got back in the car, Nadal had won!
