You were a tennis fan in the 2000s if....

You've had at least one heated argument about Roger Federer versus Rafael Nadal.

You did a double take when Serena Williams came out in the catsuit.

You've referred to a contest as a "popcorn match."

You thought Marat Safin might end up with 12 Slams.

You couldn't believe Goran Ivanisevic managed to win Wimbledon after all.

You saw Richard Gasquet in his teens and thought he was a future No. 1.

You laughed out loud at Dmitry Tursunov's blogs.

You can tell the Bryan brothers apart.

You've watched Mikhail Youzhny's bleeding forehead, Novak Djokovic's imitations and Serena Williams' outburst -- on YouTube.

You've found yourself saying a Lleyton Hewitt-style "C'mon" at least once (pretty much everytime I play the game on ps3 lol).

During U.S. Open trophy ceremonies, you've turned to the person next to you and said things like, "Did he just call her Christine?" "Did he just call her Justine Henin-Hardenne?" "Tiger? That's the first question?" and "Come on, the guy just won the U.S. Open. Let him speak in Spanish!"

You seriously thought about moving to a place where you could get the Tennis Channel.

The only Serbian word you know is "Adje."

You can't remember how you managed before live scores.
Or live streaming.

You remember Guga drawing a heart in the clay.

You think of women's doubles as four players at the baseline.

USA cut off its live telecast of the 2001 U.S. Open Sampras-Agassi quarterfinal in most parts of the country after the third set, and for the first time in your life you wished you lived in Guam.

You watched Maria Sharapova try to call her mother after winning Wimbledon and foresaw the cell phone endorsement.

You sat so still during the fifth set of the 2008 Wimbledon men's final that you were sore when you got up.

You've learned to appreciate Williams versus Williams matches.

You've thought of Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin as the "Belgian sisters."

You had repressed the memory of Dominik Hrbaty's pink shirt with shoulder blade cutouts (sorry).

You remember Martina Hingis' retirement, unretirement and re-retirement.

You're still waiting for Jennifer Capriati, Mary Pierce and Anna Kournikova to admit that they're retired (LOL yes indeed).

You're amazed that Alexandra Stevenson and Mirjana Lucic haven't retired.

You know how many tries it took for James Blake to win a five-setter.

You remember when the guys planned their Grand Slam outfits less carefully than the girls. *snort*

You can't figure out why players now need to bring two giant bags with them on court (actually I really don't so I'm gonna go with hair products :D).

Luxilon isn't just some new brand of wax you use on your car.

You watched the movie "Wimbledon," starring Kirsten Dunst and Paul Bettany, and laughed in all the wrong places -- like the players' groundstrokes.

You were pretty impressed by Andy Roddick's turn on "Saturday Night Live." (And that past Agassi/present Agassi/future Agassi skit seems oddly funny now.)

You've fallen asleep watching a night match and woken up hours later to find it still going on. Chances are it involved Marcos Baghdatis.

You've realized that for tennis players to make the cover of Sports Illustrated, they either have to be blonde Russians or play "the greatest match of all time."

Wimbledon now has a new Court 1, new Court 2, a roof over Centre Court and an official clothing sponsor, but nothing seems different.

You've made an 'ova' joke. ("They think it's all ova -- it is now.")

You remember, without needing places and dates, classic five-setters like Federer-Sampras, Sampras-Agassi, Roddick-Hewitt, Hewitt-Blake, Roddick-El Aynaoui, Agassi-Rafter, Kuerten-Russell, Agassi-Blake, Coria-Gaudio, Safin-Federer, Santoro-Clement, Agassi-Baghdatis, Hewitt-Baghdatis, Federer-Roddick, all the Federer-Nadals -- and about 20 others that were less high-profile but still thrilled you.

You didn't think anyone could be as dominant at Wimbledon as Pete Sampras, and now you don't think anyone could be as dominant at Wimbledon as Roger Federer.

You never thought anyone would be as dominant on clay as Rafael Nadal.

You have old matches on videotapes with no VCR to play them on (sadly I'm one of the few people that still can actually play them lol which I guess is good =), and half your DVR is full with matches you can't bear to erase.

It's hard to take a player seriously as a big-time pro any longer unless they have their own monogram on their shoes.

You tried watching an episode of "Age of Love."

You asked yourself, what do they see in Radek Stepanek that I don't?

Chek, chek, and check (except for the Williams sisters thing sorry no matter how many years go by I will never understand the fascination, or enjoy watching either of them play in Grand Slams against each other, boring!)
