I am watching a tennis match this early in the morning,so returning home,it can be properly summarized: the ladies' singles final at the Australian Open,the competitors being Petra Kvitova and Naomi Osaka,who is the reigning US Open champion.
The difference that seems apparent(of the massive height difference between the two) is actually not that striking in actuality:
The details on the players are as follows:
Petra Kvitova[http://www.tennis.com/player/657/petra-kvitova/stats/] and Naomi Osaka[https://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/319998/title/naomi-osaka%20%20],whose height and weight stats are [6' 0" and 70 kg] and [5' 11" and 69 kg].
You wouldn't grant,just looking at the 2 frames,that there is a mere 1" difference in height and 1 kg in weight,between the two.
Of course,Petra has capitalized on her height and frame expertly,using both to get impossible angles on her serve,probably the single biggest weapon of a top player on a tennis court.
Finally,this is just 1 quality[the weird inexplicable truths] of this game that has endeared it to me and will for years to come in the future!
