FF, not quite. You forget the more itenrant posters.


There is Tennis ability on both sides of my family, little of which has passed on to me.
My cousin on my Mum's side was a very good junior player (in Switzerland), having a national ranking in the top ten. He also had a world junior ranking in doubles. However, this was partly based on developing early, he was 1.90m tall aged 13, so when others caught up with him physically his level dropped of. Still, he was a good enough player to be able to earn money as a tennis coach.
On my Dad's side, his brother had a (British) national ranking in the top 100 and occasionally played on some of the British satelite tours.
I can barely keep a tennis ball on the court. More a technique thing rather than sheer lack of ability, I can't impart the spin I need to bring the ball down into court as (from squash) I can connect cleanly enough/too forcefully.
