Bravo!

Loved reading about the chip/block return defensive shot. Too often the commentary was reacting to the missed volleys by Novak as a big miss. All of those volleys were below the net and that's a brutal shot to make 1. on the run and 2. trying to avoid hitting it up.

And while Kyrgios talked about Novak going back to baseline defense strategy, Novak made that choice to move forward for an obvious reason.

Hi Hugh, Yes! Old school tennis lives on on grass. We even have a 180 cm champion who is as close to the 70’s height as we have seen for a while. He is gifted but do were many players closer in height to Carlos. What is old is new!
