because the forehand problems were being caused by his lack of positioning which is conditioning related not mechanics

really get out of tennis

if NBC doesn’t want tennis covered then get out of covering tennis

it could have been a bigger disaster at 10am the coverage was to shift to nbc– at 10am the score is 5-4 Soderling in the 3rd set breaker– we shifted to Canada and picked up the switch

fortunately espn stayed with the match

the Fed through today has won the most points on opponent’s first serve
thus the two elements of his game that have come off -first serve and serve returns are better

Soderling at 5-4 in the 3rd — hits a great serve- gets a short reply– kills it to the corner– this will give him 2 set points– however the Fed passes him clean—

on big points the top players have an extra gear– even when you play the point great as possible the top players steal that point

The next year, Sampras was eliminated from Wimbledon in the fourth round by a teenager with more tools than a Swiss Army knife. The 19-year-old who pulled off the seismic upset was Federer, the No. 15 seed, who prevailed 7-6 (7), 5-7, 6-4, 6-7 (2), 7-5, and pronounced it “the best win of my life.”

Sampras saw that day a player with the ability to someday surpass his record.

“But I didn’t know then if he had the whole package: the game, the heart and the mind,” he said.

“To put up the numbers I did, I knew it was going to take someone who’s not just a great player but also willing to give up some of his life, sort of eat, breathe and live the sport,” Sampras said. “Roger is willing to sacrifice and be a great champion.”
