Title: Any tennis lovers?
Post by: phinix on Sun, 07 June 2020, 10:08:24
Thought I could ask here - do we have any tennis lovers here?

I've been trying to find some old matches online, ideally to download - do you guys know where could I find them?

Like 90s matches (I'm a huge fan of Agassi :D)

Tried playing tennis a few times. Wrist starts to get sore after ~10 minutes. How can people do this 4 a living.

Its a beautful sport, I love it :)
I'm too heavy to play now, but used to play a lot.
Once I'm slim again, will play day and night! :D

Love tennis, haven't played in forever, but I played in high school for the school team.

As for old matches, outside of some torrent sites, it would be hard to find things.

Only one I have is Federer vs Sampras at Wimbledon.

They need to figure out hot to  add super moves / charge up attacks / combo meter and exploding balls to real tennis.

Andre Agassi's autobiography is a really interesting read. I used play a lot as a kid. I'd all his Nike outfits with the bicycle shorts under the shorts. Even got a bandana.

Haven't played in forever I'll maybe give it another go when my kid gets older. I could use the exercise.

I don't know about tennis but you can get a lot of old sport dvds for peanuts on amazon and ebay. It's sufficiently niche might be hard find active torrents. In fact since streaming video got popular the selection of torrents has contracted a lot things were much more active a decade ago.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna get that book.

I would love to get his tennis racket - what was it? Head Ti S2? First one was Head Radical OS.
I'll check if I could find any dvds on amazon or ebay.

I second Agassi's book as a suggestion.

Also, one of my favorite animes is Prince of Tennis lol -_-
