I am just a stubborn old Italian person.

Good morning Alfredo. Do you suggest that we Italians are stubborn? Never give up, if you enjoy playing do it, only a little time.

Hope your butt is ok! If this was your first fall, then you're in great shape (your workouts sure saved you!). I have a feeling you'll be out there playing again .

Good morning, Fredo. I have given up on several thing because of my knees. And I´m younger than you. Take care.

Falling is no laughing matter as we get older. You were lucky! Just keep moving even if you do choose to hang up your racquet!

I'm sorry you fell on the tennis court. Looks like your tennis days are over. I've tried playing tennis, but not often.

I don't think you need to hang up your tennis racquet. Instead, you could maybe just hit a few tennis balls, without trying to improve your swing. Do it out of love for this sport, but be very careful at the same time:) I fell walking Kobe the other day. After a week, I will be back walking him again! My shoulder hurts, but it's not broken.

I think that you have the strength that you do as a result of being active, and that includes playing tennis. Not many 80-something year old guys could keep up with you. Stubborn, yeah maybe you are, but that can be a good thing. Old, no, I don't believe you there, you are young at heart. Italian, yeah, I know that you are, you are very proud (and rightfully so) of your heritage. I don't think it was a sign to hang up your racquet, maybe it was just a bad day is all.

You are in great shape for your age and why do you need to stop now. Just be a little more careful on that court, I hope you didn't hurt yourself during that fall.

Oh, dis you hurt your butt Fredo? The next time you should be more careful or rather do not play again. I hope you are okay now.

Oh thankfully you're fine. Please take care. And the finger ring I just spotted in your left hand, I loved it.

Wow! Nice photo of yours @alfredo

Oh you have to be very careful not to fall next time. I hope you're okay.

Oh, thank God you just dropped on your butt. You have to be safe.

i fell on my butt on stairs last week ! i got the big blue spot till now !! hahah

Just take it easy.

As long as you have good opposition, there is always fun in playing games, it does not matter you fell or not , as long as you can get up and play again

Oh dear hope you are fine today Fredo. Is that Hampton or Rye behind you there?

Oh, I am sorry that happened Alfredo. Around 4 years ago, I fell off my bike onto the pavement and scraped myself up, it could have been worse. It did sadden me because I realized right then, "I will never ride a bike again", which is sad because I was always the kid and teen who loved to ride bicycles.

You may have Italian traits in the eyes of Americans. But I'm sure that if you went to live in Italy, the Italians would spot your American traits at once!

I hate to hear that. It is good that you work to stay in good shape. But...sometimes we just have to quit.
