I grew up...I totally share your frame of reference. I grew up watching serve & volley tennis at Eastbourne & Wimbly in the 80's. I don't fully get why new technology has lead to the decline in this style of play - it's so refreshing to to see MJMS play this way! The reaction of some tennis journos simply shows they're too young to remember how good Martina & Evonne & Edberg (et al) were, and how exciting their tennis was to watch. I love it! More please!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843562311513399667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-4973341522251113682010-05-09T14:31:21.681-05:002010-05-09T14:31:21.681-05:00I hadn't seen Martinez Sanchez play much befor...I hadn't seen Martinez Sanchez play much before but enjoyed it immensely. She seemed to totally confound Ivanovic. The media has acted like they have never seen this before. The thing is, MJMS also played some baseline tennis often winning outright down the line points or disguising her drop shot and hitting that. THey don't give her credit for performing all types of play. I wish she was more consistent though. Maybe a big tournament like Rome, which she closed out pretty well, will give her confidence.Sunnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-39859526837906948422010-05-09T14:28:14.243-05:002010-05-09T14:28:14.243-05:00I dunno, I'm a fan of all the other players yo...I dunno, I'm a fan of all the other players you named in this post, but MJMS just bugs for some reason. That said, I respect what she does on the court and it definitely provides for some fun, drama-filled matches.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116674110651818473noreply@blogger.com
