Mecir!! Edberg won an epic match against him on route to winning Wimbledon '88, iirc.

Mecir won gold at the Olympics that year too.

Mikael Pernfors.

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 08/07/2016 20:22

I bet Stan is filthy.

I have often thought that. When I'm not admiring the quality of the tennis I'm watching, of course

Raahh · 08/07/2016 20:26

Perfors played that amazing match against Connors. My sister called him 'Penfold'.

Alexander Meerkat GrinGrin

BringMeTea · 08/07/2016 20:27

Pat Cash for the filth factor too... And when he climbed up the seats....

Raahh · 08/07/2016 20:27

Stan definitely doesn't own iron. He is always quite disheveled. Grin

Raahh · 08/07/2016 20:29

See, I never liked Pat Cash- Lendl was robbedGrin.

Pat Rafter on the other hand....

(shame he had to lose to Goran,but it's one of my favourite ever matches.).

Fed will also wear a cravat, like Alexander Meerkat actual chuckling Grin

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 08/07/2016 20:31

So no-one fancied Pete then? Grin

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 08/07/2016 20:32

I used to like watching Roddick play. I always wanted him to win Wimbledon. He cared so much about it.

CremeEggThief · 08/07/2016 20:33

It's one of my biggest regrets in life that I didn't see that match, as it was played on a Monday and there was no highlights show Sad.

My embarrassing tennis crush was... Jim Courier!Blush

Raahh · 08/07/2016 20:41

Pete with his big slobbery tongue. Grin

JuanPotatoTwo · 08/07/2016 20:44

Ooh no, never fancied Pete. I had a friend who looked like him which was a bit off putting.

I reckon CremeEgg that you might find you don't have much competition for Jim

SpaceUnicorn · 08/07/2016 20:45

Pete with his big slobbery tongue. grin

And his hairy back

JuanPotatoTwo · 08/07/2016 20:46

Although who am I to talk with my liking for Andrew Castle. Sorry Creme Blush

CremeEggThief · 08/07/2016 20:52

When I tell you that I also fancied Pat Rafter, Pat Cash, Goran Ivansevic and Andre Agassi in his early twenties, Jim Courier seems even more incongruous. I was only 13 and 14, but still!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 08/07/2016 20:58

I used to fancy the socks off Agassi back in the day. Especially when he was dating Brooke Shields. She and I have the same birthday but I'm younger so I felt a weird sort of affinity for their relationship.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 08/07/2016 21:00

My real love is reserved for NHL players though not tennis blokes.

JuanPotatoTwo · 08/07/2016 21:21

I'd forgotten about Agassi and Brooke. We're they married or just dating? I know nothing about NHL so can't comment but I'm sure you have impeccable taste Hearts :)

Raahh · 08/07/2016 21:39

I have never really got my head around Steffi and Andre being together. It's great, but still a bit odd.

magimedi · 08/07/2016 21:53

Sad Half my age + seven rules out all the men playing in the main draw. Sad

Never mind, I'll have Borg - he's just the right age for moi & he gets better looking every year!

And I'll get to sit in the royal box!

Raahh · 08/07/2016 21:56

Oh yes, skip being a tennis wag and marry a Royal. Preferably Pippa Middleton. She's always there.Grin

DD2 is a Philippa, but not Royal

JuanPotatoTwo · 08/07/2016 22:02

Can I call you QueenMuddled? If so you have my permission to go ahead and marry Borg.

Steffi is stunning.

CremeEggThief · 08/07/2016 22:05

Andre and Brook were married, but not for long, only a year or two.
