Tennis Forever

[VinodKumar's]

Haven't watched Sampras period tennis to participate in the discussion. Started watching tennis in early 00 only.

I have played tennis for almost 4 years when I was in US (remba perusa lam illa namma oorla tennis ball cricket veladura range-ku). Based on my experience S&V is an art and baseline is profession. To enjoy the game go for volley. More risk and more satisfaction. To win the game stand behind the baseline, put the ball in other court and wait for things to happen. We considered people who can play decent at net as a good player, as only very few were able to do that. It took almost two years for everyone in my area (almost all started playing at the same time) to just win few points in a set at net. I am not saying rallies are easy to play. It has its own difficulties. But

S&V - Sachin's straight drive / Dravid's extra cover drive ... Baseline game - Gayle's monstrous sixer / Dhoni's helicopter shot ...
