Tennis Adventures
Today Ive got the honor to play some doubles with and against Jonas Björkman. Besides the fact that I was 1 cm from serving him in the back of the head it was alot of fun. Clearly he is a player on decline while I can only become better and better. At this rate, around 2357 I think I will surpass his ability. On other news I was doing alot of lobbing, because when you look up and see a former world nummer 4 with something like 60 carrer titles, atleast I had a tendency not to go for the passing shot :P

lol, nice
playing sport with people who are - or were - truely good is such a fun experience. I've played soccer with and against a number of guys who have played in the World cup, and it was a real thrill (even if one realizes that one will never, ever, be that good). :)

Nice! I've only ever played with people pre-fame i.e. the Murray brothers. At age 13 Andy was already annoyingly good and the wee blighters beat me :(

I have always wanted to stand on the same football pitch as Christiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale... Getting close and really see how much faster they are than me would be awesome. Playing tennis with Jonas Björkman would probably be similar if I was decent at tennis. Currently I doubt that I would even be able to notice the difference between you and him ;-)
I have however played ice-hockey with Nicklas Bäckström. He was good even when he was 11ish.

I have played Snooker against a professional Football player.
Not the same sport that he was a pro in, but I got a very high level of enjoyment out of beating him anyway!

haha I think it would be quite easy to notice the difference between him and me Adar :). That being said, what struck me was that the biggest difference between him and me was the shape he kept him self in. In terms of technique etc. he was clearly better, but the gap wasnt that large.
Duke: I should of have challenged him to blood bowl, in tennis alas, I was unable to beat him :D
