Lou Dobbs, Former Fox Business Host and Trump Booster, Dies at 78
He used his platforms on CNN and Fox Business to share baseless conspiracy theories. His tenure at Fox ended after the network was sued for defamation over claims of voting machine fraud.

Good riddance.

A reverse approach than Bolletieri's, who felt it was just walloping forehands.
Unfortunately, the flat FH taught by Lansdorp is no longer viable in the tour.

Well, folks like Sinner and Sabalenka can and do hit their forehand flat and hard sometimes...so does Anisimova..

I was just thinking during the US Open about not having heard about him in a while...

So influential in the modern game.

Indeed. But the grips are not what Lansdorp taught.
I use that grip
