WHAT! Really? Je les veux! I want to see them (badly).

Originally posted by Cosmic Fur B) As a result of A, players adapted their game so that their baseline accuracy is much greater, even with really powerful hits. So someone coming up to the net after the serve is suiciding themselves a point because their opponent will have no trouble sending a 100-mph shot down the sideline, making it practically impossible to return it, much less get a winner with a volley. Not to mention, a volley doesn't leave much room for error, you fuck up your volley, and the ball with either be out, or you'll lob it way up, making for an easy winner for your opponent.

On your last point, oh yea. So true, hence the other reason why ppl avoid it. Its a damn hard skill to perfect well and if you dont do it right, then you for sure will lose that point.

Interesting point with B). I never looked or thought about it like that before, that the accuracy with which players will hit returns will have gotten better (making for more winners by players from the baseline). Makes sense, thanks for mentioning that.

Agassi was the man for place his shots so excellently from the baseline. It was how he competed so effectively against all the power hitters on the men's side. Amazing, simply amazing and consistent shot making, be them cross court or down-the-line shots.

Hingis places her shots very well too. Because she's able to think and analyse returns so quickly on court, shes really excelled at doing this. And I think she needs to get better, keeping the variety up in her shots in order to really stand a chance to defeat the more powerful top ranked players on the court. The power game really makes it hard for Hingis, and is one reason she chose to take a break from the pro tour 3 years ago (in addition to being plagued by ankle injuries)

I dont even watch tennis, but since my wierd sleep schedule from being sick and staying up to watch Poker after Dark on NBC, I stayed up to watch my fellow Chileno take a win. It was a pretty impressive match for Gonzalez to say the least, but I've seen Nadal play before and it didnt look like him out there. Nadal was frustrated and completely controlled over by Gonzalez. Anyhow this is probably my only contribution to tennis since I rarely watch the shit.

Vaidisova is going to win.

Maybe ur trying the reverse psychology???
PS. Serena just broke to save the set....5-5 now

Clijsters-Sharapova is THE match i cant wait to watch

Originally posted by Cosmic Fur Volley, yes. Serve, hardly. I don't even know how you can say that serve is almost gone considering the amount of players that have their serve as their main advantage.

You misunderstood. I would never say the serve is almost gone - i watch a LOT of tennis...

Serve & volley is a strategy, or a style of play.
So i meant them together as a means of playing, not separate as you thought

EDIT Just realized Jem clarified, didnt mean to echo....
thx Jem

I dunno. I think that Vaidisova is doing a pretty good job with keeping Williams on her feet. Williams may start stressing out because she's worried that she will lose (WHICH SHE WILL ) and that will affect her game.
