The other day, Andy Roddick was playing this unheralded italian, and he almost lost. I am no roddick fan by the way. This guy has so many weapons and somehow never fully utilised them I think. I mean how can you not win Wimbledon with that kind of bullet service? There is more to wimbledon than just that of course..... but service is such a big factor.
So this Italian reminded me how gorgeous the one-handed backhand is in tennis. It suddenly occured to me that not many players master this technique. Federer is one.... but he's the master of everything. And of course Justin Henin, who has the best backhand in tennis. I cannot name anymore players with one-handed backhand. So I guess you are either born with the skill, or not. And I used to be able to do this .... the one-handed backhand.... LOL.
Anyway, this year's wimbledon reminded me of many things. I saw Lindsay Davenport's match last night..... how good are her ground strokes. I am picking her over sharapova to win it this year. Venus williams also look so good last night. Federer to win it again maybe..... he is just a class above everyone else. Since Marat Safin is already out, who I think is the second most talented player after federer..... what is left is roddick, I guess..
