 Let
me start by telling you how I came to hear about this talented and sexy
guy from Down Under. I remember that throughout 1997 I would hear bits
and pieces about a tennis player named Patrick
Rafter but I had never seen him or
his game. In the summer of 1997 I was rooting for some of my other favourite
tennis players in the U.S.Open and yet still I kept hearing about this
player Patrick Rafter .
His name sounded like an ol fogey. You know... like the name of a guy who
was on his way to retiring or something ;) .As it so happened, basically
all I was rooting for made a rather quick exit that year at the U.S. Open.
So I was pretty down. But then I went to the mall and I picked up an issue
of Tennis magazine. Im it they had profiles of various players' workouts.
Low and behold there was a picture of Rafter
and WOW!!! talk about a hot upper
bod!!! I didn't see the legs or the ass till later ;) I had no idea he
was young too hehe. Anyway I out of the remaining 16 players, I needed
to find a player I wanted to win the U.S. Open. I chose Chang. Then of
course I think Rafter ended
up playing Chang and I did something I wouldn't normally do.....I backed
the underdog,. AND HE WON!!! Pat
won all the way as a matter of fact and I
would have to say that he is the reason why I am so into tennis now. I
watch it constantly and really try to improve my own game even though I
only do it for recreation. OK here I am six months later devoting a webpage
to this guy. Scroll on down and see what I've cooked up. There are serious
and fun facts, polls, sound clips, a gallery of photos for all you drooling
supporters :) , a mailing list and lots, lots more. Hope you enjoy!!!! |
