tennis

Lawn tennis is an amazing sport, it requires  both stamina as well speed.There have been great players in the past from ivan lendl to pete Sampras and now what is currently called as the most competitive phase where the top four are almost there in all the grand slam semis. The sport is at a peak for sure. There is one thing that is slightly bothering in my opinion is that now a days most of the players are power players. I don’t know but some how the elegance factor is missing from the new players. For one i feel its because of the courts. The courts are becoming slower and slower. May for the spectators or tv audiences the courts are being made slow but it isn’t i feel helping the talent in the sort to bloom in the form of elegance. Rafa is amazing player not doubts about that. He runs a lot but would this same type of play be possible on faster courts.The more the courts become slow its sort of an advantage to him.  The slower court implies players have more time to strike the ball and thus most of the players are hard hitting players. Huge serves and extremely hard hitting. Its sort of fun to watch but that grace factor or on court charm when someone hits a shot is missing. Its just the grunt that we can hear. I feel that if they make the courts faster there would be more variety in the tournaments in terms of playing conditions as well as all types of playing styles would be encouraged.
