Mark Woodforde / Todd Woodbridge

Trivia: Tracy Austin and Barbara Schett won the inaugral women's legends event in 2012.

A bit stunned to not see Hingis and Davenport together who have won pretty much everything.

LNOC.

I care! I will always care about Forget/Leconte. The 2 Martinas playing together also sounds like fun.

I suppose I wouldn't mind seeing how Enqvist is looking these days. Hopefully he has not plummeted like poor Kafelnikov.

I feel like I am still way, way off that stage of being the confused old tennis fan who doesn't know who all the new players are and wonders when Steffi is playing. So, LNOC.

[DBBN]

I really and truly hope I never become that.

I like all sports at the highest level. If that means Azarenka and Serena instead of Hingis and Mauresmo, so be it.

I'm quickly getting there. I don't know some players in the top 50 now.

But, I'll never watch legends. There's always youtube, thankfully.

[lexpretend]

Clips of retired players and fun matches from the past are totally acceptable. It's amazing what Youtube can throw up.

I half-agree that it's because I like sports at the highest level but then I follow MMs and the Hidden World and, like, Sesil Karatantcheva. I just like being current. I feel the same with music. It's like preferring current affairs to history, it feels more relevant to me.

Right, no, it's not even that I need the players to be good. I just need them in the hunt for the real stuff.
