anybody play? It's the other sport I do besides skiing. Tons of fun to just play with friends in the summer and stuff. If you are from Wisconsin and you play high school tennis, tell me what school you are from.

well.. i'm from new hampshrie.. but yeah i play tennis and it's fuckin bomb. tennis is a really chill sport. i'm not very good at it, and i only started playing last year when i joined my high school's team, but it's defiantly a really cool sport to learn how to play cause you can play it forever.

tennis is DEFINATELY not an old man sport.

i've been playing it since... i don't even remember. once you get some tourny's under you're belt the proudness of playing starts to kick in.. well it did for me anyways. but yeah.. canada here. woot woot.

I play varsity tennis at Cathedral Prep in Erie.  Tennis is the coolest sport, especially just hitting with a friend.
