About Tennis Chatter

Welcome to Tennis Chatter. Here we will discuss the state of Men's and Women's tennis. We'll chat about the historical ramifications of Roger Federer's career. Rafael Nadal's name might come up from time to time. Sharapova, Henin, The Williams Sisters, and others will also appear in the blog. Not only we will look at the the top players, but also the up and comers. Who will be the next King and Queen of Wimbledon? Who will usurp the top brass? Who will be the next to get a postal stamp in their honor (Federer will not be the only one)? Stay tuned and we will find out together.
