Although I did not watch the Templeton Championship in Scottdale live, I was lucky to see the finals on TV. And it was there that they also showed an interview, asking Norman his favourites. Here was what he said, and I made this page just to share it with all of you.
   Favourite tv program: Friends
   Favourite sport: Ice Hockey (not tennis!)
   Favourite tennis player: Male - Andre Agassi
                                     Female - Martina Hingis : the commentator then asked why, and he said that "he knew her well", typical of Norman I guess.
   Hope you all enjoyed it. If anyone knows more about his favourites, pls feel free to tell me! Then, I can add it to this page.
