The kick serve is bought with the lower back

A tired forearm squeezes harder, and that is the problem

At altitude the ball arrives before the feet do

The open stance forehand is a hip movement pretending to be an arm movement

The cramp that ends a five setter is not really about salt

On a block return the ball hits the player, not the racket

A serving shoulder is a different shape by thirty

The serve tears the abdominal wall on the wrong side

A heavier frame is only stable while you are fresh

Sliding on a hard court is a clay habit the surface will not honour

The clock between points does not care how long the rally was

Players do not slow down first, they stop stopping

The slice is the shot that lets a player keep going

Heavy topspin is paid for at the wrist before anywhere else

A serve slows down from the legs up

Tight strings do not just feel harsh, they send more shock up the arm

Heavy air makes the ball slower and the match longer
