TENNIS PLAYERS I LIKE, AND SOME I DON’T<\/h1>\n

Since I’m so wrapped-up in the Wimbledon tournament, I can’t think of anything else until it’s over.\u00a0 So, here’s another tennis-centric column for you. It’s just a simple list, so it takes only about thirty seconds to read.<\/p>\n

As the tournament went along that I found myself cheering, and booing, without even realizing it.\u00a0 We all know about my unfailing love for Roger Federer, and my extreme hatred of Serena Williams, but even I<\/em> wasn’t that aware of just what other players I root for.\u00a0 While no one else makes me as sick as Serena does, there are several others I also dislike, of both sexes.<\/p>\n

So, here’s the break-down of them all, even though I don’t have time to give my reasons. Those are often built into my bigger<\/em> tennis columns, but if you’re really curious, let me know, and I’ll answer you.<\/p>\n
