Thank you 
My next project is getting Boris Becker's autograph on a gorgeous black and white photograph of him and Lendl. I already have Lendl's signature on the photo.
So, I am keeping my fingers crossed that Becker comes with Nole to Indian Wells this year 
Oh my, how will you manage that? It's hard to see the players and coaches at these tournaments. You've asked some of them in person?
I've only gotten one autograph in my life, and that was Mark Phillippoussis. I only got that one because he was assigned to a table to sign autographs.
My son wanted to get Serena's once, and she looked so frightened amongst the crowd that I told him to forget it. Fans were thrusting items in her face, and the security guards didn't do a great job of keeping the fans back. She was signing, but there was so much fear in her face that I felt sick.
My experiences were pretty dreadful, but if you do get it, please let us know so that we can celebrate your new addition to your collection.
Well, both Borg and McEnroe autographs I got through the mail.
The ones I have got in person are mostly from Indian Wells and Los Angeles tournaments. It is all about being in the right place at the right time. I normally go for the early rounds when there are not that many people.
About Serena, I have never tried getting her but I can imagine it is pretty tough. I have tried getting Sharapova's autograph and she is next to impossible.

I will try that. I want Rafa's and Serena's the most, since they're both my favorites. But, I'll take anyone's, LOL!

that is quite impressive general Tee.
are you going to Indian Wells? you might see Nole and Becker there.
also have you considered a special thread about your amazing autographs?
here is a cool image that I just made for the Federer fans:
Federer is back. watch out for him in 2014. I think he will do some damage.

That would be cool, another tennis related thingy to add to Camelot!

Yes, I am going there on Saturday for the McEnroe challenge and then next week on Wednesday.
I may start an autograph thread after that, we'll see
General Masterclass, here is a recent project of mine that I just completed today. I am not sure if you know that, but I am a collector of tennis autographs both through the mail and in person. And since you are an admirer of the history of tennis, I think you are going to like this
Mr. Tee, that is simply an awesome photograph with autographs from the two top players between 1979 and 1981.
Thanks for the good memories of that time, when tennis was still played by a majority with wood and gut and variety of game and skills.
I'm happy major league baseball never went to aluminum, titanium or various other metal composite bats. It would have drastically changed the sport and historical record relevance. I'm happy they restricted all of the "modern" bats to the kids and senior leagues.
Good luck getting more autographs!
Respectfully,

this is another reason why Camelot is required reading for those who love the sport of tennis.
we have only the finest and the most informed posters here.
Who will win tomorrow between Federer and Berdych?
hey folks who will be kind enough to go to MTF and activate my world famous Federer thread there tomorrow?
I think Federer is going to bag this title. we predicted it long before the tournament started.
this is why Camelot is required reading.
you just line up with your questions for general masterclass at "masterclass fireside"
we will try to give you the best answers we can.
just post away and have fun.

I would, but I'm not a member there.
I hear ya lady TT. its no big deal.
no worries.
No worries, general Hercules, I did it. Your thread is back up there.
It was a struggle following yesterday's big match with Djokovic only 22 hours before. Federer clearly looked drained, and struggled with his serve throughout the first 1/2 of the match. Forturnately for him, Berdych, while somewhat fresher, also looked nervous in the key points. Federer gutted it out and won it, and at the end had more winners than errors.
Berdych couldn't deal with it at the end. He was up a set and a break in the second, but Federer broke back, and then broke again to take the second set, and Berdych lost some confidence and was quickly down 4-1 and 5-2 in the decider.
Not a pretty match by any standards, but Federer got it done and won a record 6th Dubai title and the 78th ATP singles title of his career, putting him into 3rd place all time behind Connors(109) and Lendl (94), passing John McEnroe. Mac has no reason to be too discouraged, he also won some 76 or 77 doubles titles...
Respectfully,
masterclass
