So, you Fancy Dating a Tennis Player?

Wimbledon is just around the corner; (Monday if you weren't sure), so cue the strawberries and cream, Murray mania and loads of tall, toned athletes in tight, white shorts!

From Nadal and Sharapova to Isner and Bouchard, the tennis world isn't short of attractive individuals! It begs the question: do tennis players make good dates?

Well, if you fancy dating a tennis player there's a bunch of good reasons to give it a try...

• With indoor and outdoor courts across the country, you’ll always have something to do on a date; just make sure they let you win sometimes.

• If you have a dog, they will love them. Why? Because tennis players have an endless supply of free tennis balls - doggy heaven!

• Tennis players love picnics, especially those that include strawberries.

• They're clean - tennis whites have to be kept pristine so you'll have expert advice on the best way to remove any grass stains which may occur after a game or other activities... ahem.

• You'll be able to spot them in a crowd. Tennis players are regularly more than 6 feet tall... Ivo Karlovic is the tallest male professional player, measuring 6 feet 10 inches tall, and Eva Hrdinová is the tallest female professional player, measuring 6 feet 3 inches.

• Tennis players have a good firm handshake, an essential when meeting the parents.

• Many tennis players do a lot of traveling, flying all around the world for tournaments -  wives, husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends are a regular sights at sun drenched courts around the world (this could be you!)

• No more arguments over who mows the lawn, tennis players can't abide anything but a short, freshly trimmed lawn.

and finally...

• They live to serve - sorry but we couldn’t resist! Don't worry, we're Wimble-done with these silly puns now...
