The Australian Open... Isn't the same without Patrick Rafter!
I still miss him!!







Who's your favourite tennisplayer??

I used to really like Gabriela Sabatini. She was a fox! Nowadays, I dont pay as much interest. Anna Kournikova was so useless it put me off her.

Then there's John McEnroe of cause...

My all time favs:

GO RODDICK!

And these girls?

Yes they are ! Kim was studying in the same high-school as I was. She's a few years younger than me. My English teacher once said 'I hope Kim will be a great tennisplayer, because I'm afraid she can't do anything else.' Not sure about the second part of her statement, but I'm glad the first part came true !

I had a fight with her once. She was 14 and I was 17. I was standing in front of the little schoolshop that sold cookies and drinks. I was watching at the last waffle waiting there for me. Suddenly someone pulled me away and asked for the last waffle. It was her! I became angry. The teacher who was selling told us to share the waffle. So I shared a cookie with a famous tennis-player !

once, during an intervieuw with her they counted how many times she said 'zeker en vast'.... she said it a lot of times

My fav of all time is Mats Wilander. He's the essence of sport for me :
fair play and respect...

JOHN McENROE I used to love to watch him play just to see him get pissed at the judges

I'm not sure if I've asked you this before, but are you Aussie? sorry if I have....

...to answer your question, Andre Agassi - he's awesome
