I loved playing tennis when I was younger. Always had the athleticism, but never the actual tennis skills. My wife and I still go out and hit a few from time to time.
As I've become older, I fell back in love with badminton. I was unbeatable as a kid, still pretty good today. We have matches just about every weekend at my house, not unusual to see 10-15 people in the yard. We play doubles and sometimes have two courts going. They get rotated throughout the summer as the grass wears thin over a full acre lol.
Gabriela Sabatini? Stunning is accurate. I was a huge fan of Martina Hingis and her short skirts. She wasn't too shabby with the racket either.
And yes, Nastase was the ultimate tennis villain; but if I had to put a player's mug on a dartboard I'd have to flip a coin to decide Sampras or Hewitt.
