Who's to blame for this mess?
Oh, well, I would say that it's all Ericha's and Caz's fault. But then again, they would probably say it is mine (that should show you just *what* kind of friends we are anyway ). Truth is, the three of us are to blame for this mess! And aren't we proud of it!
How did we come up with this idea?
Once upon a time we were following the US Open 2000, and the three of us had been waiting for two nights in a row to see Patricia Tarabini and Conchita Martínez play their doubles match vs. Mary Pierce and Martina Hingis (I can't believe I am mentioning Fungus in our site!).
Anyway, of course, after waiting for hours there was no match, because Pierce retired (God knows why, maybe dust got in her eyes), but while we waited we thought about dedicating a site to Patricia Tarabini - and in a brainstorming sesion that took two hours (while Caz and I were also following ASV/Palmer mixed match) we came up with this cool site . It is intended as a tribute to Pato. Hope that if you ever read this, you like the site Pato!
Who'd we rather be?
If we owe you any money, you probably already know where we live, so no need to give up that info here. Surely you'd rather know who we would love to be! . So here you can read who we'd rather be (and fortunately, aren't!)

"I would like to be a professional singer. Okay, it's not a sport, but that is what I really would like to be. Singing is really amazing, but unfortunately I sing like a dog and you can quote me on that because it's true!". |

"Aside from a lap dancer, I would love to be one of those people that go about life doing nothing... how do you call them? Oh, yeah, rich people, I would love to be stinkin'-bill-gates-kinda-rich!" |

Caz! |
"I would definitley like to be involved in computers and tennis soooo..... somewhere in between there. Oh! and driving around in
golf carts at a tournament would be fun. Either one -- if they don't work out, I can collect Bea's tips from lap dancing !" |

"Well since my next past life is already sorted out, I might as well concentrate on who I’d rather be in this one. Though becoming a professional tennis fan and travelling the world and watching tennis for a living appeals, the hours are long and it would be a tiring career. So, who I’d *really* rather be, is one of those people who dress up as giant tennis balls for living, like the ones they had at Fed Cup in Madrid on 2001. How seriously cool would that be?!?" |

"I think it would be great fun to be a man for a short time to view the male
perspective on the world and how they think. I'd like to be a man I know and am attracted to. Wouldn't that make showering interesting?! LOL!"

"I would like to be an exclusive fotoreporter of the
WTA Tour. Cause I love travelling, taking pictures and the WTA Tour so
it's the perfect job for me!" |

"The life of a famous sports photographer is so full of glamour and
adventure. If it's Tuesday, it must be, no! The Oklahoma City Grand Championships?!? Well, excuse me now, dah-lings, I think I hear the Lakers trying to get ahold of me. Tah-tah!!". |

We will have to ask her too, don't you think? |

"Okay, who I’d rather be…well, aside from wanting to become a strip dancer and a partner in Bea’s strip club I’d like to work for the WTA Tour as the players’ official shoelace tyer. It suits me down to the ground; I’m great at tying shoelaces! I do a variety of knots, a variety of tensions, I’d enjoy working with the players so I’d be very dedicated – I have the whole package! Plus, it suits my academic capabilities! No, in all seriousness, I would LOVE to be a WTA Photographer because basically the only 3 things in life I understand or enjoy are Music, Tennis and Photography and since Rock Stardom is kinda out of the picture…

Well, it seems that there is a reporter who follows Guga to every match, for the entire year. They were talking about her yesterday during the match. I love travel, tennis, and photography, so that would be the perfect job for me. If I had that job, I would be in 7th heaven. |
And finally the question most of you are wondering about:
So how hard is it to invent a player?
Well, it isn't that hard! At least on the internet - you can apparently create your own player and promote her! . Seriously though, look at what happened when we tried to promote our site -- I sent the URL and name of the site to a lot of people and with one webmaster this happened:

They thought the name of the player was Tarabini Tales, and not Patricia Tarabini! I was seriously tempted not to correct them! but in the end I thought I wanted people to see the site of Pato, not of this Tales person!
