I spent time in, like, criminal courts, and covering murder trials for papers.
I always liked serve-and-volley players and big athletes.
Against Novak and Rafa, you have balls to hit, but they are so physically really tough. And Roger, he just takes position in the court. He tries to go forward all the time, go for the winners. Then you just don't play tennis against him.
In these days of modern tennis a player is as strong as his weakest stroke.
I wouldn’t mind having the proceedings of the court sent out on television covering it gavel to gavel. But by the time most of the media do their editing and broadcasting, I’m afraid that the public will see an atypical sampling of the court. It will misinform the public rather than inform.
Some smashes have been timed at more than 250 mph, so you get less than a second to react. People who see a professional badminton match up close are always shocked at the speed.
The taller you are, the bigger your serve.
When we used the small-faced racquets and wood racquets, we had to use every part of the court.
