Grass will always favor the nimble. It is the common thing amongst all the great champs.
Roddick talked about this on one of his recent podcasts - that some good servers aren't good on grass because they "dig in" too much and aren't light of foot

I don't listen to Taylor Swift either, but not knowing of her existence is maybe not so flattering...

It appears this was made up. Wasn't in his third-round press conference.

It would be inexplicable. He'd have to never talk to anyone his own age.

Sharapova butchered the pronunciation of "epitome" in her 20th anniversary story on ESPN toady. She did the player's walk to Centre Court with Fowler and was speaking eloquently and reverently about the experience, and when they finally reached the grass, she said is the was "EH-pih-toem" of something or other. So funny.

She should be in the main draw, not the exos.
