Hitting that shot down the line for a winner is not impossible, but really damned tough. The ball is very low, and RBA uses an extreme forehand grip (which generates a lot of topspin, but is really hard to make good contact on low balls). Also, the geometry does not work in his favor.

Backhands, schmackhands... Those forehand rallies in the first set were so fucking savage! It almost hurt to watch, its like they decided to stop playing tennis and just fire civil war era cannons at eachother.

You think Eddie Money has to put up with this shit?

“Vazquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?”

Was really expecting a nipple ring or two. Huh.
