Who would you spend the weekend with?
With Rafa's retirement, we are talking a lot about faves. And about GOAT's.
But.
Which tennis player would you like to spend a weekend with? Of course, you could hit some balls with him/her (I am going to keep it open to both tours), but what conversations? Doing something else? Like, with Rafa. Do you ask him to take you out on the mega yacht? With Edberg: do you play parcheesi with him? Maybe Ludo?
Two players, even three. Not even making a poll.

ATP: My favorite player was Pete. Would love to rally with him. And he had a reputation as being more fun off court than on.
But I believe nobody could beat a weekend with Vitas. In NYC.
WTA. Thanks to Suliso to remind me of her. Tatiana Pironkova. Because us old men can still dream.

Re: Who would you spend the weekend with?
Yeah I could see this thread taking a few turns.... hehe.
Keeping it on the tennis side, I'd probably go with Roddick, seems like he'd be a fun person to spend the weekend with and I was a big fan. I'm not a player so I don't need to play / hit balls with anyone

I’d like to hang with the Federer family. I’d also like to go hiking with Anett Kontaveit and her dog(s).

Re: Who would you spend the weekend with?
This is a tough one for me because it's so hard to suspend disbelief that these people want to hang out with you. but from that interview from a year or two ago, it would be fun to pass a weekend with Kasatkina and Rublev in Barcelona.

Re: Who would you spend the weekend with?
I'd go for a mix of young and old(er) and different countries for some, probably, varied outlooks on life in- and outside of tennis. Must include my former favourite headcase Ivanisevic. I'll add Monfils, Sue Barker and Zheng Qinwen. No hitting balls - can't play the game to save my life - but have a nice BBQ at a lakeside house in late summer... Something like that...
So yeah, that's four. But atlpam opted for a whole family, so...

Wait...I didn't wander into one of my KPop/Kdrama/Cdrama fan sites?
My honest answer is none of them. I want to keep the fantasy alive.
