My tennis corner

Roger Federer in Toronto

Tennis is one of my favourite sports (the other one is, of course, soccer). I play tennis quite often and can't get enough of it. I also like to watch tennis, both on TV, and also live when I have the opportunity. Since I enjoy keeping statistics of all sorts of things, I started counting the number of tennis players I have seen playing live. I counted more than I expected, and thus decided to write them down. So here is the list of the names of the players and the events where I saw them playing. I include all players that I have seen at a tennis event, in most of the cases playing a professional game, although I did not necessarily saw the full match. I will add some more pictures soon.
