The shot clock is a fitness rule in disguise

The volley did not die, the approach shot did

Extreme grips buy spin and charge it to the wrist

The serve is only a setup for the shot after it

The weather restrings your racket for you

A serve speed reading is entertainment, not evidence

Tennis has more luck in it than anyone admits

Best-of-five is a scheduling problem before it is a fitness one

The chip return is the cheapest way to hurt a big server

Taking the ball early is the only real answer to heavy topspin

Players slide on hard courts now and their feet pay for it

The racket in the shop is not the racket they play with

The ball changes more between games than the players do

Spin numbers flatter the player who is losing the point

We are coaching juniors to survive rallies, not to end them

The slice is a lost skill and grass will punish that

Nobody actually recovers to the middle of the baseline
