I thought i'd start this thread up, I know people on here love talking about PRO tennis, but does anybody actually play? Let us know some of your experiences on a tennis court, no matter what standard you play at etc., there's always fun to be had! :D

I'll start with my story from last night in the next post...

This is from last night, where we were playing a team that's gonna get relegated..

the first pair we played tried to have an argument with us about how the let rule worked, then on our match point one of them danced around like an absolute prat when my partner was serving to try and put him off. He promptly hit an ace and yelled 'very sporting', which caused them to shout f off about 5 times and refuse to shake our hands, and war nearly broke out! roflmao


Then in the second match, things were going pretty smoothly, we were winning comfortably, and we'd just got another break. My partner promptly whacked the ball as hard as he could in delight, only for it to hit one of the blokes over the other side flush on the forehead! He then rolled around like a drama queen and again we had a slanging match and they were shoving my partner on the change of ends, at which point I stood up to them and they s*** themselves! roflmao And we still won easily! ;)

The third match was a bit quieter, but they had a prat on their side who spoke like the bloke off the britass empire which cracked me up! Oh, and again we won easily! roflmao


After the match, we all went to the same pub for a post-match meal, I have never seen such a cold atmosphere in all my life, and on of the blokes from the first pair tried to start on my partner again, at which point I asked him whether he actually possessed any manners and said "I'm 18 and know how to behave as such, you're probably nearly 10 years older yet you're behaving like you're 8. Grow up". It was so funny because he started cowering then, being half a foot shorter than me!


A fair bit of it was my partner's fault because he sank to their level, but god they were bad. And we won the match 8-1! :D

Good idea Sam, but I don't have much experience to share myself, although I used to play badminton and and as my partner ran to his side to return hi sshorts fell down! That was a laugh, and I injured the opposition's breast with a smash of the shuttle. roflmao

Give us your story then ....

roflmao OMG I thought tennis clubs were full of gentile people sayign jolly good and drinking Pimms!

I woudl have howled if I had heard Mr Brittas talking. My mate had a boss who spoke just liek him, and he used to call him that behind his back. A brown noser grassed him up and he was calle dinto the boss's office for a disciplinary as a result! :D
