Gotta love his short shorts
Why is it that every time I see Novak anti-vax comes to mind. Yes, he is a great tennis player BUT to me, this speaks volumes.
I know nothing about tennis. Hell, I don't know how the scoring goes. Nice young men in the best shape of their lives having fun-hopefully. I support your enthusiasm for the game.
