Jelena Jankovic has mojo

I'm going to swing off topic onto another topic I enjoy - tennis!

Does anyone else follow Wimbledon?

I have to admit, I admire a player who shows emotion. There are those who might look down on Jankovic's performance today because she tossed her racket in the grass. Ah! But who wouldn't in a game like that?

A 27 hit rally! A baseline war! A marathon! What a game.

In the end, they were both good sports.

Jankovic stole my heart today. I'd love for her to move on, but I think Henin has her number.

I too follow Wimbledon and think that Henin has it down pat this year. Serena Williams may just have yet another good year.
I really miss Hingis, she's never returned form but was great fun to watch.
Oh I must be getting old.

Living in Belgium, you can't avoid hearing or reading about tennis at least once a week. At time of Wimbledon or Roland Garros almost daily. Kim Clijsters before she quit. Justine Henin. Both of them have really put our country on the world map of sports. Personally, I don't really follow the game. Sure, I root for our girls, sometimes I'll even keep track of scores and watch a few minutes of play. But I rarely watch any sports game from start to end. I think it's like you choosing textbooks over fiction, Dr. Hendler. I choose other stuff than watching tennis.
