Btw 'prideful'? Since when was that a negative?!? (Apart from as one of the seven deadly sins, of course...) Ha ha, whatever Roland, it’s English and you know it!

Actually (and no doubt to English horror) the roots of tennis go all the way back to 12th century France (remember Act I of Henry V?), where it was played indoors and called "real" or royal tennis. Anyway, isn't credit for Elizabeth Hurley enough? Nice try D, but wrong again (and you English think the Spanish are prideful;-)…

Hmm - okay, so tennis is one-third Spanish then, at least in terms of its founders? Going on your info though, it was still developed in England and is essentially rooted here, so I'm still claiming it on that basis. Ha ha, this site is funny!

A generation of Indians have grown up ogling at her posters pinned down on the back of the dorm toilet doors!! Seriously, England need to be way more creative than what they have displayed so far, if they have a rat's ass of a chance to win this cup. Before the tournament i was tipping them to win it, but now i am not so sure!! Hey how could i forget Samantha Fox!

Pereira joined with Dr. Frederick Haynes and Dr. A. Wellesley Tomkins to found the first lawn tennis club in the world. In 1874 they formed the Leamington Tennis Club, setting out the original rules of the game. But the Magna Carta, that's yours, so bully for England.
