me too

I only done tennis training for a year solid (mainly played football) and i had a one hand backhand, everyone else had 2 hands but i told the coach "I want to have a one hand backhand like federer da gawd" he kept trying to make me change

Why am i hearing boos when Wawrinka ties up the match

sorry @Liu Kang but fukk these french spectators

 

[Yapdatfool]

Stan the bully.

Tellin yall AO ain’t all that different from the french (in terms of surface speed & ball height), stan can win this.

The French Open public has always been terrible. No offense taken.

When a coach doesnt want to teach the one hander:

• Its easier for beginners to learn the two hander..especially juniors who dont have the strength to hit a one hander
• They probably dont know how to teach it

Stanley.... bruh.... your killing me with all these point break fails. If you lose today, that's why.

yeah think it was a bit of both

wish i started the sport at a very young age but like i said it was always football (soccer to you i guess)

did that training but knew i had no chance getting to a high enough level to compete (was 15 at the time)

i see.

well its never too late to learn more. idk how much youve played since but its worth picking up as a sport at any age since you can play into your 70s. i know a lot of people who didnt play once until their late 20's/30s and they are decent players now..most of which can at least play a match without embarrassing themselves

it helps if you are still overseas (or in miami actually) as well because you can probably find more har-tru/clay courts than where i am and they are far more forgiving on your legs
