A friend of mine was down at our club playing against our first team in league. Ive never seen her playing at her best. I only saw her play in our open and she hadn't held a racquet in about 6 months.....well....I was in awe today! She hits the ball soooo cleanly on her groundstrokes, I just don't know how she does it! It's like the ball springs off her forehand and backhand and you can see it moving through the air at such a pace. It's not like a "normal" forehand or backhand I regularly see. It just flies through the air, it's a thing of beauty. She's so good up net aswell, unbelievable killer instinct, and puts volleys away like that.
Also, her serve is ridiculous. She was definitely without a doubt serving 100 mph if not 110 mph at times. It was literally that big. I saw Rafa live in November and it wasn't too far off his serve! She has such great control, power, accuracy, everything!
Now, mind you she did play Fed Cup for Ireland but I just do not know how she hits the ball so cleanly. It's amazing really!
How do they do this? Hit so cleanly, make it look so easy, the touch, power, pace, control. Is it technique? Fitness? Or just natural talent that us mortals don't have?
Do you have to have it all? Can you do it with great technique alone? It's scary
