Yeah I know. I'm like @ElGonzo though, I played a lot of tennis at a medium/low level at high school and the frustration becomes too real to make it enjoyable.
@leggy_blonde both good points but are footnotes to all the gammon. What is c) the spicy one-day classic in football? FA Cup game when say Crawley beats a brain-dead Arsenal to get to the 5th round?

This is exactly what I have come to love about watching it. It may seem obvious but the entertainment is in watching the player rather than the game. Yes, someone wins/loses and there are some incredible shots, but seeing how each player responds to the ebb and flow of the match is the fascinating bit. They’re all good at the top level, but how well they cope with loss – of a point, game or set – usually decides who wins.
