more tennis

Another week has gone by. I am very ready for Thanksgiving Break, as I am in need of a break. I am pretty tired and will use the break to see my family and catch up on sleep. It will be cool to have good food as well. It will be nice.
I enjoyed writing about tennis last week, so I decided to write about tennis some more this week. Another one of my favorite players was Goran Ivanisevic. He had a huge serve and was very fun to watch. It was really fun to watch him have a lot of success at the 2001 Wimbledon. He came out of nowhere and was unstoppable. His serve was probably the biggest i've ever seen. While his groundstrokes weren't that consisten, he made up for it with his gigantic serve.
Jim Courier was also fun to watch because he was a fiesty competitor. He is now a commentator and is pretty entertaining sometimes.
I also liked watching Michael Chang. While he didn't have a big serve or special groundstrokes, he was quite a grinder. He would be out there on the court for hours and hours if he needed to be. It was a really entertaining match several years ago at the French Open when he played Roddick and Roddick was just 19. I think it went five sets and it was a great match. His matches were always fun to watch because they would not be dominated by a serve. I'm sure he was frustrating for the other players to play because he was such a grinder.
My favorite tennis tournament is Wimbledon. It was always interesting to me since it is played on grass. The atmosphere at Wimbledon seemed like it was pretty interesting as well. After Wimbledon, my next favorite grand slam tournament was probably the U.S. Open. Its fun to watch and always takes place during August, right as school starts. The French Open is kind of fun to watch as well since it takes place all on clay. I have been to the Kroger St. Jude tournament before in Memphis and it was a lot of fun.
