Comments

From Ryan : I enjoy this short quite a bit since I enjoyed playing tennis my first year of college. One part of this short that I find humorous is where the groundskeeper is constantly caring for the lawn and somewhat distracting the game. This is another short that has all those Goofy look-alikes.

From Baruch Weiss : The word "goofy" really does not describe Goofy in this cartoon he seems to look confident rather than goofy!

I have seen "Tennis Racquet" and would like to
