Ummmm, some of you may be confused but my greatest asset is having strokes that really resemble Safin's strokes even though I didn't copy his strokes when I was learning the game. Scares my opponent and gives a "pro" feel to my game. I'm really good at mental breakdowns too.

This is really sad - I'm not sure I have a greatest asset! Perhaps my backhand volley.

How is your racket smashing technique?

My best asset is being able to get to [almost] every ball. Now what I do with it when I'm there is a different story.

I'd say your serve is a weapon and your willingness to attack short balls and take the net.

The fact that I honestly think I can beat anyone THIS GAME no matter how much better (younger, trimer, faster) they are than I. I'd call it an NFL cornerbacks mentality being able to forget the last point and play the current one.

YEah man, teleportation's pretty awesome. Others should try it.

This is great, too:

My greatest asset is that I carry 3 to 5 frames in a pretty phat bag, which also happens to be a pretty fat bag. I think it's worth two games per set.
My head to toe Nike outfits are usually worth an early break.
If I jog to and from points, I think that gets me some cred, too.

I play tiebreakers really well. The format suits me. Also, I'm determined to handle heat, wind, cold and distractions better than my opponent.

Your greatest asset is being able to pick opponents who aren't as good as you.

That, and you seem to be tall and well coordinated to take advantage of it. Serve looks good. Good reach. You get out of the way of the racquet on those body shots.

My greatest asset is how good I look on court, matched outfit with matched bandana..I usually get a couple free points just from this, along with many many prestigious awards from NEWKS!

My greatest assets used to be the first serve, second serve, return of serve, forehand, and topspin backhand. Then just the first and second serves and return of serve. Then just the first and second serves. Then just the second serve.

Now, actually, I have no assets.

Well, maybe that my rackets look good.
