Tennis is one of the few sports I will watch, I also started playing (just for fun though, I can see how the competitve pressure would take the fun out) after getting hooked on it in high school, partly motivated by my crush's house being across the street too lol!

Our courts were also concrete, both in the park and at my h.s. In college we had clay and it felt like playing on the moon! I have never played on grass, I think we have grass courts in my city but it costs money to play at the club. I never knew there was a Tennis magazine, how cool! Steff Graf was unmatched, such a great champion.

I'm so glad you found women's tennis at such an important age and it helped you get in touch with your true feelings. 💗
