“tennis is a game of accuracy and not strength. If it were a matter of hard hitting and brute strength it stands to reason that the heaviest and strongest player would win, while actually quite the reverse is true. The speed of the ball is secondary, for the very simple reason that without accuracy speed results in netted balls and errors and hence, in wasted energy. Accuracy–the ability to return the ball to any desired position on the court–that is the secret of tennis.” [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 22:25, 28 February 2010 (UTC) | |||
