Do you like or play tennis? Why or why not?
Yes,
I love to play tennis. I am actually on Niagara’s tennis team this year. Although I don’t travel with the team, I am having so much
fun learning and meeting the girls.
What
is the first adjective or phrase that comes to mind when I say tennis?
“The
love of the game.”
Do you follow the tennis teams’ progress here at Niagara
University (NU)? Why or why not?
I
check the NU tennis website regularly to see how the girl’s team is doing. I am friends with all the girls and they
are all so talented in their own way on the tennis court. I also love talking to them about campus life and schoolwork.
The coach is great too.

Do you like or play tennis? Why or why not?
I do enjoy playing tennis. I find that every time I play, I get a great workout plus the game is fun. I try
to find the time to get a game in every now and then during the school year, as well as getting in a hit or
two over the summer. I also try to improve my game by participating in tennis clinics back home.
What is the first adjective or phrase that comes to mind when I say tennis?
“My
arms are killing me!”
Do you follow the tennis teams’ progress here at Niagara
University (NU)? Why or why not?
Unless I see a tennis player as Niagara’s athlete of the week, I don’t
follow tennis here at college. I actually don’t follow sports here at Niagara at all
because I don’t care. I would rather go for a workout or join a club to stay busy.

Occupation: Student
Class: Freshman
Do you like or play tennis? Why or why not?
I
like to watch tennis, but I don’t like to play because I don’t have the arm-hand coordination. The task of
hitting a ball over the net is harder than you think.
What is the first adjective or phrase that comes to mind when I say tennis?
Strength
and speed. Players need to be strong and powerful to move from side to side but also agile enough to get to every ball
on the court.
Do you follow the tennis teams’ progress here at Niagara
University (NU)? Why or why not?
I
don’t follow tennis here at NU. I don’t know anyone from the team so I wouldn’t know that NU even had varsity
tennis. But I do follow basketball because I enjoy watching and playing the game more than tennis. Basketball is more exciting.

Class: Junior
Do you like or play tennis? Why or why not?
I
do play tennis. I find that tennis is great exercise and it gives me the chance for my friends and I to get out, get physical
and take in some sun as well. Unfortunately, I don’t keep score when we play leisurely [laugh].
What is the first adjective or phrase that comes to mind when I say tennis?
The
first adjective that comes to my mind is when players yell, “Out!” And then you see the professionals get really
angry at the line judges…..that is when tennis gets exciting.
Do you follow the tennis teams’ progress here at Niagara
University (NU)? Why or why not?
No,
I don’t follow tennis because I am so busy with work. But when I do have time, I will actually try to go see one of
the matches.
