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.

1. Who is your all-time favorite player in men's tennis?

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

I'm passing the baton to @Billie. Get us started, girl!

Good on you Moxie. Sorry I was not around earlier to participate. Been absent for awhile as I have ischaemic heart illness and have not been online much.

I'm very sorry to hear that! Glad to see you back. Now, go on...fill out the questionnaire. And pass the baton.

While we wait to see if betting runner and Robert Zimmerman want to play, I'm going to pass the baton to @MargaretMcAleer. Will you give it a go, Margaret?

OK then Moxie.

All time favourite would be Bjorn Borg and Steffi Graf.

I don't have a favourite tournament that I look forward to seeing. For me It really depends on the occasion and if BOTH PLAYERS rise to it and the atmosphere is electric. Hard to go past Rafter vs Ivanisevic 2001 Wimbledon final in that respect.

Re the other questions I'll comeback to that another time. Gotta lot on my plate at present.

Baton goes to @Nekro!

 

[Horsa]

It's a shame this wasn't kept up with. I want a go.

 

[mrzz]

Since I was the last one to pass the baton, and the poster I passed it to never responded, I pass it to @Horsa!

 

[Horsa]

Thank you very much, @mrzz.

1. My all-time favourite male tennis player is John McEnroe.
2. My all-time favourite female tennis player is Monica Seles.
3. My favourite tournament is Wimbledon.
4. To be honest my favourite sports are equestrian sports. Tennis is my favourite non-equestrian sport.
5. If I'm allowed the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards massed pipe & drum band I'll have that as bagpipes are my favourite musical instrument. If not I'd have gone for the Beatles but 1 song by Wings features my favourite instrument so I'll say Wings. For my favourite song if I'm allowed Scots/Irish I'll go for Grannies Hieland Hame, if not I'll go for Mull of Kintyre if allowed & not seen as too Scottish, if it is then I'd have to say My heart will go on.
6. My current T.V. or web obsession is Antiques road trip, Bargain Hunt, Flog it & Put Your Money where your mouth is especially when Anita Manning, Natasha Raskin & Paul Laidlaw are on. I met Paul in an antique shop in Filey. He's a real gentleman.
7. The place I would most like to live scrub out the last part of the question because I'd rather live there than here is Dunoon where most of my ancestors came from. I went there once & felt more at home than I ever have here. I feel close to my ancestors & if I ever get the chance I want to move back.

Since Moxie thought up these questions but hasn't been asked to answer them yet, I'll pass the baton to @Moxie.

Thank you very much for your answers. To tell you the truth, I didn't know who to pass the baton to & thought as Moxie had asked the questions but not answered them I'd give her a chance. Now it's time for you to pass the baton to someone else who hasn't answered the questions.
