was played in the 80s. That serve however looks quick and has some zip to it. He is
probably a better volleyer that most of the guys today. He looks natural at net unlike most the players of today who like lost out there near in the net.

philippe October 31, 2009 at 4:29 am: By the way, I just send a remark made by the french philosophe Gilles Deleuze who was very fond of tennis, he said about john Mac Enroe’s movement in both space and time :” An egyptian service added with a russian Soul ”. I wish I would add he stills ” un personnage d’Oscar Wilde”.
