Pass the Baton

[Moxie]

As DiscussTennis gets bigger, it's fun to get to know each other a little more. This is an opinion game. I'm going to list several opinion questions, then pass the baton along to another member. He or she will answer the questions, and then name another member to be the next to answer. And so on. Got it? I hope you'll all play.

2. Who is your all-time favorite player in women's tennis?

3. What is your favorite tournament (men's/women's)? (Two answers accepted.)

4. What is your other favorite sport besides tennis?

5. What is your all-time favorite band/song? (Can be one or both)

Yeah, we could revise that. Although there are a lot of places I like to visit but not live, so there is a slight difference in that. But either answer is fine.
