I love to play tennis. I think it's a really fun sport but I actuallydon't like to watch it. I think it's pretty boring to watch and Ilove to watchbasketball. I think it's so cool to watch the ball go back and forth. It's very fastpaced, and I love watching the players dunk, but I hate to play basketballcause I have really bad motor-reflexes and I can't dunk.
