I caanot enjoy women's tennis for some reason.. I'll watch it if it's one of the biggies playing but I lose interest every time. I could watch men's tennis for hours, even if I'm not sure who the players are!

Aw thats a shame, women's tennis is getting stronger and better with every tournament. The competition is becoming immense, some really great youngsters emerging

But a lot of people are like you, they prefer men's tennis. Suppose its faster and harder. Plus murray is doing amazingly so it's great to watch him!

Yeah I love watching Andy... His mum used to coach at our local tennis club and Andy has trained there so I feel especially proud of him.

I have always had a thing for Lleyton Hewitt too.. I adore him and love watching him play..

The screaming and grunting during women'smatches puts me off a lot. I had to turn tv down quite a few times during Wimbledon this year and then it's not really the same!

I know how you feel I HATE the screaming and grunting, I don't think its necessary in the game, I can't see how it can help a player much. It can put off their opponents though and thats not cool. Thats cool that Judy used to coach at your local tennis club! I'm guessing your from Scotland then?

Yeah you can't really not like Hewitt or the golden oldies (not even that old) like Safin, Ferrero, they've brought so much to the game in their wonder years! Especially Hewitt.. QF at wimbledon this year was amazing
