Yeah if you check his twitter he's always posting comments about boxing
Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

Andy loves boxing .... However being an Ex Professional Boxer myself I can clarify Tennis is nothing like boxing. Being hit with a tennis ball hurts a lot more.

Yes and strategy.

I like Tennis and any kind of combat sports, boxing, k-1, mma etc.

Boxing is - like Tennis - an exchange of game plans. Jab, Slice, Uppercut, Topspin etc., Tennis and Boxing have different strokes.

I know it sounds strange but there are some similaritys in my opinion.

There are similarities.

It's super-cliched though (comparing tennis to boxing).

Also, there's nothing quite like getting punched in the face. Trust me I know the feeling.
