"Serious Tennis Fan" - A Profile

• A serious tennis fan is one that watches tennis outside of the four Grand Slams.
• A serious tennis fan is one who'll go to great lengths to find that stream of a first round match between the #49 and the #173 ranked players. At 2am in the morning.
• A serious tennis fan will be able to identify that the two players practicing on the court before him are Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Flavia Pennetta. He will also be able to spell their names.
• A serious tennis fan knows the difference between David Ferrer and Juan Carlos Ferrero.
• A serious tennis fan will regularly moan about the lack of coverage of doubles matches.
• A serious tennis fan will be able to name all the women who won a Grand Slam in 2011. He'll also recognize them if he were to see them on the street.
• A serious tennis fan has more than one favourite player to cheer for. Including players outside the top5, 10, 50 or 100.
• A serious tennis fan might *gasp* follow matches on the Challenger circuit, and even *double gasp* on the Futures level.
• A serious tennis fan will be able to name at least 5 chair umpires.
• A serious tennis fan is one who spent a few hours staring at a black little window called "livescores", while silently cursing to himself, and occasionally shouting out words in different languages.

A serious tennis fan might be all of the above, or none of them. But he's first and foremost a fan of TENNIS, not of Fed, Rafa or Nole.
