be in vegas this summer for the wsop. If you constantly hit a deep ball down the middle and give the guy no angle there are maybe a few handful players in the world who can beat you. Don't try to sound smart, I don't care if you've taught tennis most tennis coaches I've see are complete hacks. If you understand tennis there are only a few things you need.
1) a strong second serve, more important than a big serve or big forehand
2) ability to win cross court rallies
3) not give up the short ball
that's it you guys make it more complicated than it is. Obviously it helps to have more but if you have decent wheels these few things will make you nearly unbeatable. I've watched my old buddies play futures when they are in town. Guys can crush 130mph first serves, big forehands, have average 2nd serves but they lose to Euro, south americans all the time.
These guys don't have big serves, just a non attackable 2nd ball, not even monster forehands, just deep topspins, crosscourt all day. Sure sometimes guys crush a big forehand off a deep ball but less than 100 guys in the world can CONSISTENTLY hit a winner off a deep ball. Even at this level it's not about hitting crazy winners left and right.
Like I said be in Vegas for the wsop. I used to be a S&Ver but I'll dik around and hit loopy topspins and I'm pretty sure I'll beat you handily.
