Why Ons Jabeur's Drop Shot can Net her a Slam
Why Ons Jabeur's drop shot can net her a Slam.
Tennis is constantly evolving. And while the drop shot has existed forever, it may be more relevant than ever.
If we're entering a drop shot boom, then Ons Jabeur is the trailblazer. For Ons Jabeur, the drop shot is not an auxiliary tool or a changeup surprise tactic; it is a core weapon. In the last year, Jabeur's drop shot rate has been about five times the tour average.
So why does Ons Jabeur hit so many drop shots, and how does she get away with it?

Why Tennis Should Adopt Golf's Tour Card System
มุมมอง 7Kปีที่แล้ว
Why tennis should adopt golf's Tour Card system. For years, one tennis debate has raged on - one that feels nowhere close to a viable solution. The length of the tennis season. But is it too narrow to look at the calendar in isolation? Are there, instead, more significant issues with the very essence of the tennis ecosystem? What if tennis could take greater control of different tiers of events...
How Parenthood Impacts Tennis' Media Narratives

How Parenthood Impacts Tennis' Media Narratives For most, the decision to become a parent is life-altering, but how does this decision change the professional tennis player's identity and media narrative? What is its impact on player performance? Will the new familial responsibility distract tennis players from training and playing optimally, or will the new role give them a newfound confidence...
Why Taylor Fritz is a Talent Maximiser
มุมมอง 9K2 ปีที่แล้ว
God did not gift Taylor Fritz with freak athleticism. 'Fluid' or 'explosive' are not words that come to mind when watching Fritz move around a tennis court - relative to his elite professional peers. The shortcomings in Fritz's movement would make it impossible for him to have a high success rate in points when he had to play defence. So he had to find a way to take his movement out of the equa...

Alcaraz v FAA: Are Tennis Prodigies Getting Older? Prodigies are a source of continuous debate among tennis fans. Who has lived up to their potential, and who has fallen short?

Felix Auger-Aliassime and Carlos Alcaraz exemplify the prodigy debate perfectly. The two young star...
How Uncle Toni Can Improve Felix Auger Aliassime's Game
มุมมอง 23K2 ปีที่แล้ว
The serve of Felix Auger-Aliassime is difficult to assess using a blanket statement. The first delivery might be his greatest weapon. It's a top-10 first serve in the world, producing aces at a clip that ranks 7th-best among Top-50 players in 2022. But while the first serve has propelled FAA to success, the reality is not as favourable when it misses. On the ATP's stats leaderboard, FAA's point...

He’s equally strong on his forehand and backhand, with no apparent shortcomings in power or speed, great touch and a highly competitive attitude. A quick look at his game and one might jump to the conclusion that the teenager from Denmark has no weakness. But those who have chronicled his young career know a...

Laver Cup: The True Cost of Tennis

Laver Cup: The True Cost of Tennis Tennis has long suffered from an image problem. Detractors claim it is a snooty, upper-class sport that is inaccessible to large parts of society. Some of the criticism has, however, been unfair, particularly when compared to other sports.

    If you place the maximum effort, strength, physicality,movement, condition, talent and incredible skills you get DAVID FERRER, Dominic Thiem and others. What sets NADAL apart is his strategic mind and unwavering spirit. He doesn't only find solutions to problems during the match, but he never stops believing he can solve those problems. He is like waves at the beach, relentless.

    Consider that he also played the heart of his career with a repurposed tree branch , sheep gut for strings and cowhide for a grip. Try that combo for five sets in 100 deg heat and high humidity . GOAT , Rodney George Laver is on the list for more 50 years....That's pretty great.
