I'm sorry, but no. There is no resemblance between Murray and Evert here. If anything, the resemblance would be between Nadal and Evert, since both are great clay court players, solid all around...

Borg Number One,

That was the first video I've ever seen of Rod Laver or Arthur Ashe playing. Loved it. I didn't realize what a great serve Laver had. All those aces! Great shotmaking, as you said....

Azarenka has a lot of talent, to be sure, but she hasn't been able to tie it all together. She's mentally fragile; she has a huge temper. She lets her emotions run off. Now...
