🚀💥 La qualité de frappe monstrueuse en coup droit de Thanasi Kokkinakis avant de lâcher une énorme marmite lors d'un entraînement contre Nick Kyrgios au tournoi de Tokyo 2022.

Au-delà de la qualité de frappe, la vidéo est super intéressante pour se rendre compte de la marge prise par les pros avec le filet. Les balles passent toutes minimum un mètre au-dessus du filet.

🚀💥 Thanasi Kokkinakis' monstrous forehand shot quality before dropping a huge pot during a practice against Nick Kyrgios at the Tokyo 2022 tournament.

Beyond the quality of the strike, the video is super interesting to see the margin taken by the pros with the net. The balls all pass at least one meter above the net.

Right there is one *secret* to WHY matches and rallies are so long and bodies are breaking: the new sticks (and mostly) string types make it SO much easier NOT to miss. Every shot – even that one– is safer.

I said that. The courts are too slow, and the strings make it much easier to keep the ball in.
Since you can't change the dimensions of the court, you can only speed them up.

No. No. No. Courts without separation. It drives me crazy. The whole point of tennis is hitting balls with angles. And, if you can do so, the ball ends up three courts away when you have no separation.

Must find a video or two...is he leading service returners because his return is something special or is the dataset weighted towards clay, where everyone would have good numbers on returning...

Serious here. How will they handle the time for prayers? I understand that in S. Arabia, when the call for prayers comes, everything stops.
They will have to plan the matches around that.
