Will Trump Nuke Kim first, or the other way around? Should I start stocking up on tinned food? Is the meaning of life actually 42? Dude, give me a call. I have many, many, more questions that I need answered.

Very stupid question here (possibly because I don't get to watch enough good live tennis, and the camera angles often obscure what the height over the net looks like) but net clearance refers to height over the top of the net (e.g. height of net + 90 inches for Nadal)? That's a hell of a lot...

Are there people here who can enjoy Fed, Djok and Nadal's victories in roughly equal measure? Are there people here who can sit back and say that on his or her day, any of those players is good enough to beat the other? I don't understand the obsession with identifying a definite GOAT. I can...

I think it is a pretty pointless debate overall. Sure, let's compare what assets are needed to excel in different sports. But the original question was about difficulty, which is basically impossible to answer. Boxing at the highest level is incredibly technical. You're right that getting hit...

Can't quite agree with this unless you're really really specific about what aspects of fitness/difficulty you're measuring. As for difficulty at the highest level, most sports could make a similar claim. Take boxing for example. Ever gone 12 rounds? With someone literally punishing you for the...

Hadn't even considered this. I realise that I stand close to the baseline. Why? Because at my level, people tend to hit a lot of shots that ... die, and I end up responding to what basically turns out to be a drop shot. I think this ends up pulling me closer in. But of course, as soon as they...

Regarding the contact point, mine ends up (on higher balls) being in line with my body, and not in front. Thus I lose all kinds of drive, power etc. As I move the racket in front of my body (on higher balls) I feel that the natural angle of the racket face begins angling towards the bottom of...

OK I think you've highlighted something I need to work on. My swingpath was a relatively steep climb. I'll test this out. I also find myself getting very sideways on the higher ones (almost like I'm now facing away from my opponent). This is just a tendency I need to work on.

Thank you! Inside of the elbow ... sometimes (depending on day) I can feel that the the wrist wants to start supinating (and that if I try to hold the wrist position a bit more firmly as I strike the ball) I'll get the inner elbow pain. I definitely have more of an aptitude for the 1hbh (at...

Thank you! Very helpful

T Thanks, helpful to know. Yeah, elbow has been a problem from other sports (for approx 5-6 years on and off ... doesn't seem to get worse and worse ... just yo-yos). I work on it as much as possible, but looks like this golfer's elbow is here to stay for a while. I asked because I'm hitting...

Question from a complete beginner. My coach is suggesting that should go towards 1-handers, as I'm showing a bit more aptitude there. However, due to elbow issues, I may have to do 2-handers (depends on the day). Maybe it is because I'm a complete beginner, but I'm finding that HIGHER balls are...

Damn, just effortlessly nails almost every serve exactly where he wants it ... all in a single shot.

Had my first full session with a pro/coach (I'll be going regularly with this one) and it was hands-down the best instruction I've had in almost any area of my life! We began with the coach just asking me to hit with her. This was refreshing. Rather than tell me anything about grips, how to...
