If you think those are short, you'd better be sitting down when you watch spooky3 Feb 14 #1

I know.....that Ruud kid's ARE VERY SHORT.....and me personally??? Not a big fan of his. a kennedy Feb 14 #2

I think you mean Holger Rune, rather than Casper Ruud. Casper's outfits are pretty modest. :-) spooky3 Feb 14 #3

Right, right, it's Rune, NOT CASPER RUUD.....I love the Norwegian Ruud. My husband was Norwegian a kennedy Feb 14 #5

No apology needed! One of the people I play tennis with is a HUGE Casper fan. spooky3 Feb 14 #7

Would love to go sometime..... a kennedy Feb 14 #12

I hope you get to. I'm sorry about your husband. nt spooky3 Feb 14 #14

Ya, I gave him his last valentine last year on this date..... a kennedy Feb 14 #15

Oh my.....kinda glad I'm 74...... a kennedy Feb 14 #9

hey, if they didn't want you to look, they'd cover up, eh? spooky3 Feb 14 #10

What are the white things hanging out the back? Pockets? At least he has the legs for it. Srkdqltr Feb 14 #6

good question! nt spooky3 Feb 14 #8

Looks like the pants were cut down and the pockets not adjusted. Can't imagine no one noticed. Has to be something else Srkdqltr Feb 14 #11

Some of the men wear stretchy undershorts or bandages under their playing shorts but usually those cling to the body spooky3 Feb 14 #13

What if i posted what you did but it was a woman player? Mosby Feb 16 #17

malaise and I agree that Rune needs to grow up. But IMHO he is very talented and per TTC, hard-working.

I have made my valentines for over the last 50 years…..numbers vary but usually over 25 love made valentines, even for their kids or pets I’ve made them all. First year my husband didn’t get one…..I have the ones I made him, framed and hanging all around my kitchen. I miss him so much.
