I'm not into tennis. I pull for Francis Tiafoe, because he's a local boy doing good. Unfortunately, he got eliminated pretty quickly.

A friend of mine from high school is a big tennis fan--so much so that she's attended all four Grand Slam events in person--but my level of caring about tennis could fit into a thimble with plenty of room left over.

I'd watch all the major tournaments, and Bud Collins and Breakfast at Wimbledon were staples at my house. At some point along the way I just stopped watching or caring.
