My Mp3 player died yesterday, while playing "Daisuki". f^^ You really are a jinx, ne Oishi? Poor boy, and right on your birthday too. So, no more voice messages in the near future. Gomen, but, blame him! ^^

In the case you would like to lean tennis or just started, I wanna share some of my favourite videos and some important rules! Nothing to take serious, just some fun. ^^

Important things to remember about tennis:

#1: Remember: Don´t make Roddick angry, never!
Awesome, just awesome! o.O I definitely don´t wanna know, what would have happened, if this serve had hit something human. He is scary, sometimes.


#2: Remember: Don´t be afraid to return balls outside the court!
Yes, the great doubles match of Jonas Bjorkman and Max Mirnyi against Mardy Fish and Robby Ginepri! Bjorkman hit a winner, only 2 inches off the ground and around the post! Well, I think, you could consider it as a "buggy whip shot". ^_~ But the best on it is to be able to return such a deep ball, outside the lines. Many aren´t daring it, but it´s not against the rules. As long as you are staying on your side and the ball is not bouncing twice, you can do what you want. v^_^v

#3: Remember: Watch and marvel!
Federer´s movements are all totally reflective. *_* Ljubicic had no chance there and poor Blake. You really need quite good nerves to play against Roger. And I really love the commentaries in here. Federer´s "House of pain". *rofl* So true!

#4 Remember: Only pro´s should play above the clouds!
The helicopter landing place on the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai was converted in a tennis court, only for Roger and Andre - but just because of promotion purposes. ^^ And, yes this court is NOT designed for playing on the baseline! But, ideal for serve & volley players! d^_^b Oh my, they are 321 metres above the ground and still able to hit balls, without giddiness. O.O I like Andre´s comments, specially: "Where is the ballboy? *rofl*

#5: Remember: What doubles should not be like!
Some japanese commercials are great! *rofl*

And, what did we learned out of it? ^_^
