Tennis was much harder before string was invented.
I had no idea that tennis had such a rocky start. (whoosh!)
In fact, it was tennis equipment manufacturers who invented string, in order to increase their net profits.
Their devious plan made everyone suddenly “need” the new gear — what a racket!
Yeah Bailey and Ladyfinger — I was going to say what it takes to play tennis, but I won’t cos I already had a pretty innocuous comment deleted yesterday…. :(
No. It was just more of a skill game back then.
it was called baseball
Yeah, that…that mighta been a problem.
I guess so!
They needed a bigger ball.

Once again — thanks Marg and Bailey!
And #6 — not sure what that means but hope it’s not some inane feud.
One thing I find strange about this website is that stuff.
That last line is directed at a lot of people, not just No. 6.
I just don’t get why people here squabble.
Oops! Squabbles and political cartoons… I understand.
i look forward to the SusanSUNSHINE ,#6,and DOGSNIFF show every day.
Never date a tennis player. Love means nothing to them….
