I would have to count myself on the bandwagon jumper group. Even though I was a big tennis player as a young kid and played a fair amount in university, aside from a period as a kid I never really followed it closely. Does the name Tom Okker ring a bell to anyone? Tennis was on TV a fair amount in the 70s
I guess later I only followed the big name, big game events. Borg/MacEnroe at Wimbledon, Jimmy Connors etc.
Now, the only tennis I'll watch is if a Canadian makes it to a final and I didn't even bother to watch Fernandez this time.
All this got me to thinkin'. I always wanted a pair of classic Stan Smiths and they have somehow eluded me, time to pay Amazon a visit.
