Sports for me is when a guy walks off the court, and you really can't tell whether he won or lost, when he carries himself with pride either way.
The airplane has had a bog impact on my life.
They are two similar players. They're both power baseliners. Neither overpowers you with their serve but they try to place it well.

The match was decided by absolutely top-flight tennis at the most crucial moments -- rather than nerves, rather than bad calls. It was a pure tennis match, in that sense, by two guys who everyone could aspire to be, battling it out in the most sportsmanlike fashion. And it was a truly heartfelt hug afterwards, too. It was a moving match, and they don't come as often as we'd like.
He's got to get a little more emphatic,
He cannot rip the ball unless his body is moving into the ball ? he's not strong enough.
He has to be more emphatic at times. He tries to counter punch more ? it works well against everyone except Roger,
He would just outwork people. You think you hit a winner and the ball comes back to you. OK, you think. But when that happens on every single point it can really mess with you.
You can't blame him because he's so successful at it, but when he does come up against the world No.1, he's got to do more. That's got to weigh on your noggin a little bit.
It was very efficient; very effective. The peace of mind it gives players is incredible - just knowing you're not going to lose a point because of a bad line call.
