RAJ
(From Raj's mailbox): My name is Raj and I am a septuagenerain. I was born and raised in Kerala, India and came to USA when I was 25 and permanantly settled here in the Midwest. My family consists of my dear wife of 44 years,two grown up sons, one grandson who is 13 and our dog Molly.
I am tennis addict and a die hard Federer fan. I fell in love with his style and the ease with which he plays, from the outset. My former favourites are Bjorn Borg, Ivan lendl, Stefan Edberg, Gustavo Kuertan and Pete Sampras. Among the ladies I like Henin and Clijster and not too fond of the William sisters. I prefer to watch a good tennis match over any other sport, any day of the week. I have been known to get up at odd hours of the night to wattch live tennis when it is being played around the world.
I have played some tennis for fun in my younger days and then becamea long distance runner and took part in many marathons and one ultra marathon to my credit. I was fortunate enough to see Roger in person at Cincy one year and he looked awesome. The only other match I have seen in person is an exho between McEnroe and Borg during their hey day. I still work full time and as of late I schedule my time off around major tournaments and I have already scheduled my vacation for 2011 around all four Grandslams and Masters Final in the hopes that Roger will make it far into the tournaments and hopefully win some. One of my favourite past time is to log on to this site and read and reread all the comments you, the very astute and knowledgable people, write and yes that includes TP!
Without naming any names, some of the regulars on this forum I consider as my best friends whom I have never met. In my spare time, when I am not watching tennis, I love to fly. I am a licensed private pilot and own and operate a single engine aircraft.
