About this list:

Professional tennis, much like professional golf, is played year-round, with players following the warm weather from Australia to France to Wimbledon to the USA with oodles of smaller tournaments in between. And while some may think that watching tennis is akin to watching the grass grow on the court, I love nearly everything about the game, its etiquette, dress code and larger-than-life player personalities.

Qualifications:

I just gave myself an upgrade from a junior racket.
