I hadn't actually seen that Harpo - and kinda wish I hadn't! Remember the karaoke vids for RG some years ago? (Fed absolutely murdered "the best" by Tina Turner)

What is it with tennis players and music...

I'm sure you secretly enjoyed it reckoner. You'll be singing "see you soon, on the moon" all day.

They listen to music all the time don't they, as a distraction. I remember Roger saying that he loves AC/DC and wanted to be a rock star (!).
Nadal's Grandad is a musician...

There's some footage around of Fed plucking at his racket like it's a guitar, while sitting with Hingis between points.

I just can't imagine Federer being a rock star - more jazz-lite or acoustic troubador.

The least believeable ad was McEnroe using a Bic razor and not shredding his face to ribbons with the damn thing.

I relatively recently swapped to old fashioned single blade shaving with Taylors of Old Bond St shaving cream and my face has never been happier! A pox on Gilette and their tame sports stars for conning us into a crappified shaving experience!
