I'll bet any amount of money that Roger Federer was watching the semi-final match between Lleyton Hewitt and Rafael Nadal. And, As Hewitt played Nadal surprisingly well, you have to believe that Fed picked up a tennis tip or two to use in the final.
What Tennis Tips Did Fed Pick Up?
What Tennis Tips Did Fed Pick Up?
Believe it or not, Nadal is starting to become predictable and a lot easier to play against. In the last two weeks he's beaten Davydenko 6-4 in the third, Hewitt 7-5 in the third, and lost yesterday to Fed.
So, we have to ask what tips have the guys picked up.
Well, in my opinion, they're all anticipating that almost every Nadal forehand is going to be crosscourt. And, they know that a lot of Nadal's forehands land short.
They also know that if they let the ball bounce high they won't beat Nadal. So, all the guys are taking the ball very early and flattening it out. As a result they're either hitting clean winners or keeping Nadal on the defensive.
Not only are they winning more points but they're reducing the wear and tear on their bodies by playing further inside the court and having to move less.
Does Nadal have a counterattacking option? Of course he does and I'll give him my unsolicited tennis tips tomorrow.
