Mama's Boys

Published : May 10, 2003 00:00 IST

We asked some ATP players what special gift they'd like to give Mom this Mother's Day

Paradorn Srichaphan (pic, right): "I'm going to get her a fourth title. But if I'm home, I'll take her to dinner at a Thai restaurant. She loves Thai food."

Roger Federer (Pic., extreme right): "I'd like to take my mom to South Africa to play some golf and just give her the perfect day."

Brian Vahaly: "I'm getting something thoughtful — definitely not flowers."

Richard Krajicek: "I'm giving a big bunch of nice flowers."

Mariano Zabaleta: "Just one kiss".

Sjeng Schalken: To be there, to see her, because I'm always gone and I think that if I could just be there that would be the nicest thing"

Justin Gimelstob: "I'll be getting my mother a card and a dozen roses, plus I'll give her a call. That'll keep me out of the doghouse."

Mike and Bob Bryan: "We're going to get her a horse. She loves horses. She rides in Malibu everyday."

Mark Philippoussis (pic, left): "I'm probably going to get her a gift certificate for a spa so she can get a massage or a pedicure. Something for a nice, relaxing day."

Mario Ancic: "I would like to try to swear less. She would like that. And I'd like to buy her something nice but I don't know what."
