Happy Easter to all!Thought for Today

You really like tennis, don't you?!? Good for you, I am crazy about NFL!
What a GREAT tennis Haiku Virginia....you kill me. Happy Easter to you too sweetie...
Hi Storyteller,
Very nice haiku! I like that quote by Chris Evert. She is one smart lady. I never really got into tennis. But there is one match I watched that I will never forget. Bjorn Borg was playing one of the bad boys of tennis. I can't remember if it was McEnroe or Connors. But Borg's racket broke so he used his foot to hit the ball back over the net. Much to my surprise McEnroe (or Connors) dropped his racket and did the same. It was a riot and so nice to see the humor of those two men!
Have a great weekend!
Hugs,
Tina
very good! i have no idea who any of those tennis players are. i'm quite impressed.
Wow! That is an impressive haiku!
Have a Happy Easter. Bjorn who?
Nice job! I don't follow tennis, but I'm impressed you made all the names fit perfectly!
LOL! You are such a dedicated fan :) A lovely haiku and pics! Hope you're having a great Friday.
I love watching Wimbledon but I don't get time to watch tennis otherwise.
Ivanhoe – Yes, I love tennis though I watch almost no other sporting events ;--)
Joy – Thanks for the ‘kudos’ … and Happy Easter to you too!
Tina – I remember that match. It was a wonderful moment actually … methinks it was Connors, but I’m not absolutely sure.
Transplanting Me – The men and the women are the top players at the moment … so the ‘right’ players are where they’re supposed to be … except for James Blake and Mardy Fish. Everyone expected Blake to win last night’s match with Nadal and Hewitt to win the previous match with Fish. I was hoping Lindsey would take Jankovic, but injury prevented that.
Kathryn – Thanks … you know how I love tennis and Haiku ;--)
LceeL – Happy Easter to you too! I hope you’re joking about Bjorn Borg.
Maggie – It took me a little while because my attention was diverted as I watched the Janokvic-Davenport match … but Haiku comes pretty easy to me.
Sandy – Yes … that I am! Actually, Picasa gave me a bit of trouble this morning too because I couldn’t get it to ‘see’ all the newly added tennis photos right away. Hopefully I’ve resolved that issue permanently.
Akelamalu – I usually watch the four ‘majors’ and not the ‘smaller tournaments, but I ‘happened upon’ this one by chance mid-way through and have been ‘hooked’ ever since by excellent matches!
I appreciate all of you stopping by today and leaving your comments even though most of you aren’t ‘tennis fans’ yourself. Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
Hugs and blessings,
wow. that was VERY impressive!
Now that's a great ku!
Great Tennis 'Ku!
Love the quote too. Happy Friday!
Fantastic Haiku!!
Nicely done!
Maybe I'll do one about MLS when their season starts next week. :)
Oh, tennis is on?
We won't see you in blog land
Until it's over!
Great tennis haikus! You are one devoted tennis fan. :) Enjoy.
Tennis haukus - you're adorable! :)
That Tsonga, I caught a bit of him at the Australian Open (on the teev, not in person) and gee, he is fantastic to watch!
What tournament is it you're watching?
Storyteller, you're the only person who makes tennis interesting to me!
Virginia,
Easter blessings to you and your family.
Mary
It amazes me how you (seemingly) effortlessly come out with these haikus--Wow!
I did your quote tag today.
Just popping by to wish you and yours the best Easter ever.
Janet – Thanks … I’m a true fan of tennis and Haiku.
MamaGeek – I appreciate the kind words ;--)
MamaDB – I know not everyone ‘relates’ to the tennis, but I write what’s on my mind each week. Glad you enjoyed the quote.
Scylla – Kind of you to say so :--)
Melissa – You provided my original example for these Haiku Friday pieces, so I’ll look forward to seeing what you do with MLS.
MPJ
Fortunately this
tournament ends Sunday … so
I’ll be blogging soon.
Joyce – You’re correct about my ‘devotion’ to tennis tournaments. It’s always enjoyable.
Sue – You caught me indulging two passions at once … tennis and Haiku. It’s the Pacific Life Open, the first of the season on US soil … in Indian Wells, California.
Mary – Thanks … and may your Easter be blessed as well.
Karen – I do have fun with them … and it’s all the more enjoyable when they bring delight to others as well.
Hootin’ Anni – Great … I’ll be over in a little while to see what you’ve done.
I’m running later than usual this morning, but always find comments delightful to discover in the morning. Thanks to each of you for visiting … sharing your thoughts … and putting up with my passions ;--)
Happy Easter one and all!
Hugs and blessings,
You were very haikurific. :) Nice job...
Rebecca – I love the term ‘haikuific’ … and the images it conjures up. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving the link to your blog.
Hugs and blessings,
