Pat Cash: Uncovered

[kiki]

For the record, Cash was the greatest volleyer ever!

Not quite, but he certainly was a top notch volleyer and one of the best low voleyer that played the game over the last 30 years.

I come from melbourne and now live in Europe. En tous cas and (at least) European clay are 2 quite different surfaces. yes - you slide on both of them, but the playing characteristics are not all that similar.

In Australia, a lot of courts are referred to as 'clay' when they aren't. I wouldn't be surprised if Evonne Cawley grew up on crushed termite mounds - a popular 'clay' surface in the country areas. Perhaps technically en tous cas is a clay surface, but it doesn't really behave the same way as the stuff here in Europe.

This is about to become a new thread.

Definitely makes me want to read this book.

This is about to become a new thread.

May explain why aussies did much better on clay than americans in the past, and why Court and Goolagong played so well on the dirt.

What does he say about CKK?
