An Athlete and a Tennis player

They met finally and she's a sportswoman it seems
And he asked; ' Are you an athlete? '
'Sorry Honey, I never ran even in a dream
And you must be a Tennis player.' She replied.
'You have mistaken dear and these Tennis shoes I borrowed from a friend of mine.' He explained.
'That's fine and let's start running and we must be punctual at the trail of mysterious destiny.' She murmured like a singsong.

Family's first, and that's what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game.

I used to travel in tennis shoes; I am just not allowed to anymore. I'm an old hippie from San Francisco.

For the first couple of years I played really bad tennis. It was so bad that they booed me off the court.

Safin, in his way, is very talented. It is a joy to watch them play; it is tennis of a very high quality.

It wasn't my tennis that made me lose, it was a lot of different things going on, high drama, high emotion.
