We pretty much all know that many tennis players are frustrated musicians – Serena Williams loves to karaoke, the Bryan twins have a band, etc. So what about a bit of fun by putting the two together? What if you were to connect a tennis player to a song, what song would you link a player to?
The songs could be from now or from the past. It could be by an artist who does R&B or pop or the classics or, certainly not my choice, but maybe even heavy metal. Pretty much anything goes.
I have come up with my list and I have not put these in any particular order.
