On the woman's side I would agree with you.. serena has made the woman's game into a power game instead of a finesse game. I guess the transition was inevitable, but it makes for much less-interesting tennis.
On the men's side I love to hate Roddick and Hewitt.. both are arrogant s. Whereas Agassi and Macenroe (sp?) had their share of arrogance and outbursts, they weren't pricks! Agassi is still one of my favorites and I also love watching Safin (because he is such a volatile player) and Federer (for the same reason as Safin, but he's solidified his game a lot in the last 2 years - he was more interesting to watch a couple years ago :D ) |

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, which will somehow lead to less power being able to be obtained... ie. so that power hitters like Roddick who most entirely rely on a baseline game will not be able to do so as much... (not with the same advantage they currently possess anyways)
itll be interesting to see where this goes and whut the player and fans of tennis think... could be quite teh controversy... but there have been lots of changes in the sport, and they dont necessary ever stir up alot of controversy.
with roddick... i dont find him to be a prick at all... but u prolly have ur reasons to think so... with hewitt i can TOTALLY see it... proly why hes not more of a favourite of mine, but i still like him...
Agassi is the man tho... i love watching his game of tennis almost just as much as Hennin-Hardennes! his shot are always jsut so well placed. and the man is in such amazing condition for being n 34 or 35, its mind boggling.... and all u see when watching him is this sense of composure and determination and calmness... hes definately the tennis player i enjoy watching the most on teh men's side |

You gotta love Lleyton Hewitt's games... if its not HIM causing the controversy, then its an opponent he's playing :D :)
| quote: | The third round Saturday was highlighted by Lleyton Hewitt's 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 win over Juan Ignacio Chela. Chela became angry when he thought Hewitt's loud cry of "Come on!" was a bit too much celebration for an unforced error that resulted in triple break point in the fifth game of the fourth set.
He drove his next serve at Hewitt, allowing the Australian to convert the break. Chela appeared to spit toward Hewitt when the players were switching sides.
"It's sad that something like that happens," Hewitt said. "But, you know, he apologized at the net when we shook hands and I said, 'Just forget about it, mate.'"
Chela denied spitting at Hewitt, but the Argentine was fined $2,000 by tournament referee Peter Bellenger for unsportsmanlike conduct.
