The fastest serve on the sheet is usually the least useful one
The game after a break is the one that actually decides the set
Stop running back to the middle after every ball
Frame drag is a rounding error next to swingweight
The spec that saves your off centre balls has no marketing team
Fast hands at the net are mostly good positioning in disguise
The tournament sets the friction, not the shoe company
The serve speed on your screen is measured at the wrong end
Break point conversion is a statistic that mostly measures luck
Running laps is the least useful conditioning a player can do
The ninety eight inch racquet head won the argument years ago
The middle of the net is the most wasted target in tennis
The slice is only a defensive shot if you hit it badly
Sliding on a hard court is a technique, not an accident
It is the second serve that wrecks shoulders, not the first
Break points are a sample size, not a skill
Split-step timing beats raw speed on a tennis court
