I have noted that even some of the previously calmer pros are throwing in big come ons these days. I remember Federer was relatively less animated in matches than he is now.
Anyway it seems like this has become a main stay in modern tennis and is even being encouraged by coaches on nearly every point won, but why?
I recently read "The Best Tennis of Your Life: 50 Mental Strategies" and really started looking at my tennis differently and channelling my mental presence and energy. Some of the greats in tennis the Woodies, Pete Sampras, Borg, were masters in what I'm trying to achieve.
Why has there been such a shift in tennis psychology? Or is just something players are advised to do for the modern audience/show biz aspect of the game.
Thanks
