Tennis[ah,there could be an entire blog about this,but this is a start]

I love tennis,and cannot begin to describe why,which is great,because it has so many storylines to focus on,that I correctly point out in the title that they'd provide fodder for at least one whole blog:I used to idolize the sport and play it in the past[which state of affairs will someday be recreated],went once to the US Open[another idea for a blog post],and play another sport with a requirement for racquet skills[badminton] in India.

Well,since I started composing this post,I started watching,on Youtube,highlights of this match,which has gold all over it:

I don't have the time or financial obligation to write oodles about it or any match,but its fitting it has such a lovely stature in tennis circles.

First,the match happened in Razzano's home-Slam,Roland Garros,and against the world-beater in women's tennis at the time.

Second,it happened on Serena's worst surface,clay,meaning she was exposed during the whole match for her clumsiness at adapting her skills(whatever those are)to a new surface;she is a hardcourt player,at home(obviously)when playing the US Open,who suffers from playing on any surface slightly different;she's won Wimbledon,but because it is fast compared to clay.Even her liking for speed can be immediately detected by a wall of stone around Wimbledon,and could be talked on ad nauseum by the darlingest babe.

In fact,I think the commentary behind the match on Youtube points out exactly what made Serena easy kill over this match.Not easy;Razzano's work was monumental and should be exalted as long as tennis is seen and played.

So where do I stand vis-a-vis my preferences in tennis?I am a huge fan of excellence everywhere,have adored and copied the game of Justine Henin-Hardenne(so Federer,of course),and so,am naturally against the game of Serena Williams,not her persistence[which again doesn't compare to Rafael Nadal,my model]but her finessse. Game of power,like a huge stone-crusher going against a bed of roses[you can say all her matches against my heroine Henin reminded me of much the same].There are positives,not overall,but admired by enough viewers to fill the stands in so many countries..At least this gives the  game more viewership across the world.
