About

I’ve been playing tennis since the age of seven. Got burnt out during the last phase of my junior tennis playing years and in fact got sick of playing tennis. I never got sick of watching it, though. I loved watching Sampras play . . . one of the most memorable matches for me was when he beat Corretja in the 1996 U.S. Open quarterfinals. My obsession with tennis truly began with Roger Federer in 2005. There is nothing more say . . . the rest of you Federer fans understand me! Federer inspires you to watch and get out on the court!

What else about me:

I love Oasis and Third Eye Blind!

Vegan since Nov. 2002

BA in History and Masters in Education/history

Traveled to 18 countries: Austria, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Lebanon, Liechtenstein, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, and the United Kingdom

Going to India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Tibet(China) this summer. More worried about catching Federer in action during the French Open and Wimbledon while traveling than exploring Pakistan!

My profile picture is from my late summer Euro trip last year. I'm on court Philippe Chatrier with red clay rubbed on my Fed hat for good luck for the 2009 French Open. I can dream, right!

    Hi Asha,
    I am your 7th fan now. It feels lucky.
    Very fascinating bio.

    The US Open Draw was released earlier today. I've analyzed the Men's draw, in addition to the Top Ten players' form and recent performance, and made some projection in an unconventional way.
    Check it out. I am sure you'll like it.
    Thank you so much,

    Oh yeah indeed! Wow, what a coupla months it has been for Roger :-) Did you manage to catch any of the tennis?

    Hey asha! How are you? Since the last time we talked Roggie has won the FO - oh yeah! Slam no.14 and career slam!!!! You must be as happy as me :-)

    Actually now I'm not sure...maybe he is. Cos when I first joined the fan page it was different and there weren't any status updates like there are now (with "Roger" - if it is him - letting fans know what he is thinking/doing).So perhaps he took it over?!?! Oooo - exciting!! I take it you became a fan?! Hope you are doing well :)
