I agree, the change in direction to a more "power intense" game was inevitable... but theres been talk from the world tennis setting body (name ? I forget) that they'll soon be changing (not confirmed, just what ive heard in discussions on tv) racket standards, requiring a smaller racket size |
Never heard of this, but there was talk of using larger balls to slow down the game a coule years back (more wind resistance --> slower ball speeds). |

Personally, i think changing the rackets makes more sense, but changing the balls would be far cheaper |

I can't stand Roddick either...arrogant is right. Serena...ditto. Notice that virtually EVERY time she loses, she refers the reason back to herself...if SHE did this or did that, she'd have won. What happened to graceful defeat? Granting that someone simply outplayed you?
- the move towards greater and greater power...too many aces and service winners and a boring baseline game.
- the trend towards teaching two handed shorts (some even on the forehand)...provides more control, but requires less "skill" than a one handed shot. What happened to those *textbook* Lendl backhands??? Now lots of players have less perfect form, but compensate with a two handed shot...weak.
- where has the serve and volley game gone??? I really really miss Becker/Edberg serve and volley matchups...or one of them against a great baseliner like Lendl. MUCH more entertaining matches than the ace/service winner crap we see today.
I still love the sport...I just wish it was more like it was 10 years ago. |
