1). The Attacking player, how hard is it to be like Federer?
Tennis has all variables in the spectrum of skills, tactics and strategies. In the rainbow of possibilities the attack stands out as one of the most interesting ones to me.
After long years of playing the game myself, observing others play and teaching, I am lead to believe that you can not teach the attack nor be an attacker if your personality does not match it.

2). Does faster mean better in Tennis? (Part I)
The impression I have from many TV commentators and almost every tennis expert that I have read or listened to, is that they all seem to be in awe on how fast the game of tennis today is. Everyone seems convinced that players of the past played slower games and therefore could not cope with today's fast game. Is it true that power and power alone and faster means better in Tennis? I dare challenge everyone to think twice.

3). Is Federer all Alone in his Style of Play? (Part I)
Everyone is marvelled at Federer's fantastic record but it is no surprise if you think not too far back at Pete Sampras dominance and John McEnroe's, who also played great all round games.
One of the characteristics that separates these players from others is their uncanny ability to perform at their best under extreme pressure and win the "big points" especially at the "Big Four" (the Grand Slams).

4). Is it true that "In Tennis not all points are equal"?
Initially all points seem to be equal but, in reality they all have a different value which is intrinsically tied to the moment at which the point is played therefore the score.
For example, an apparently innocuous first point (15-0 or 0-15) of a match can be a pretty straightforward ace affair on a hard/grass-court or a 10 to 20 minute battle on clay!
In the first case there are no scars.

5). Does faster mean better in Tennis? (Part II)
In part one I explained how the backhand slice can be a great neutralizer of power and an opener for point winning opportunities. Now I am going to show you the ever so important relationship, among time, speed and spin of the ball.
For example, a majority of professional players today attack with incredibly fast cross-court strokes, usually top spin and get passed systematically or do not even make it to a confortable position at the net and therefore volley poorly.

6). Is Federer all Alone in his Style of Play? (Part II)
The apparent similarities of Roger Federer style of play to the older generations, which he himself admitts by calling his tennis "modern-retro tennis", implicates the possibility that many players of the past e.g. Rod Laver, Lew Hoad, Ken Rosewall, Roy Emerson, John Newcombe , Ilie Nastase, John McEnroe, just to mention a few, would be a great challenge to many of today's top hard hitting players.
