Describing the Federfore
Cut-lines under photograph in New York Post or The Daily News or was it in neither close to headline CHIMP TEARS OFF WOMAN'S FACE BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LIKE HER NEW HAIR-DO:
"Michael Pernfors hits a Federfore in exhibition tennis match against Roger Federer in WTA production of HMS Pinafore."
Unfortunately, as any first-hand observer in the theatrical crowd will attest, Pernfors' Federfore was in the form of a broad circle without one corner bashed in and therefore wasn't properly stroked.
During intermission, this reporter detected five tennis players in the WTA theater foyer busily arguing among themselves.
"It's kinetic chain," one player said. "That's how Roger does it. He hits the ball like an inverted tornado."
"You must enjoy the National Science Museum castle," another said, "the red building on the mall in Washington, D.C. with all the nineteenth century inventions inside. It's full of moving conveyers and wheels, and things stopping and starting and trip wires connected to hesitating sprockets."
"Nah," the third player said. "That's a wrong description of what Roger does. His jette is smooth like Nureyev, Nijinski and Baryshnikov."
"But not in a perfect circle," the reporter thought to himself, afraid to speak. "No, Roger's body swings the racket in a broad circle. He then accelerates his hand down and up to a farther spot along the arc, and makes that hand rejoin the arc, and then of course the smooth circle loses its shape again on its back side."
