TOP 10 PLAYS: 2023 ATP SEASON! 🤩 10) @carlosalcaraz's MONSTER Forehand in Rio! (A Thread) 👇

🇦🇺 Nick Kyrgios on comparing today’s Tennis game to those in decades past: “The game was so slow back then. I’ve watched Boris Becker and I’m not saying they weren’t good in their time, but to say that they would be just as good now, it’s absurd. A big serve back then was like 197 to 200 KM/H. People like me, we serve 220 consistently, to corners. It’s a whole different ball game. I’m not saying they wouldn’t have found their way. But serve and volley, to do it all the time now, you need to be serving 220, because if you serve anything less than 220, bro, Djokovic eats you alive. He eats you alive. Bro Lleyton Hewitt destroyed Sampras one year at the U.S. Open. That was the first prototype of someone who could return serve. He made Sampras look like sh*t. And what would Djokovic do to someone like Sampras? It would be a cleanup. If Hewitt was doing it, Djokovic would destroy him. He would eat him alive.” Source: The Athletic 🗣️

Your opinion on this kind of surface?

Novak Djokovic's entire interview on 60 Minutes is excellent — but this clip of him talking about developing mental toughness is especially great. “Even though there is no physical contact in tennis, there’s still a lot of eye contact”
