Tennis anyone?

Any tennis fans here in Panama City? I've been glued to Wimbledon these past few weeks. Pretty interesting stuff to me and I don't know why..I don't play though I would like to. I once lived in London for 10 years and going to Wimbledon became a habit. I guess watching that ball bounce back and forth is more interesting than a lot of things and the game has become so powerful it's pretty cool to watch those gals playing that "big Babe" tennis? And if you're competetive, most anything that has a winner and a loser could catch your interest. Some say tennis is balletic and pretty to watch...I think I like it because it's two gladiators alone in a huge stadium fighting it out, one on one...to the end. Some of those better men's matches go on for 4 and 5 hours-that's pretty intense. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has an idea why watching a tennis ball go over a net is so popular. I'm also amazed at how different it is when played on clay versus grass or hard courts...once again, I don't play. But I DO know a lot about the game and everyone who plays it...wonder why?
