One of the funniest conversations is talking to professional athletes about tennis. They all respect the hell out of it because they actually understand what elite athleticism looks like.

Then you talk to some guy who played high school sports and he thinks tennis is easy.

These are 6’4”, 6’6”+ freak athletes moving like gazelles for four to five hours, making decisions at hockey speed, with the hand-eye coordination of a baseball player, the reaction time of a fighter, and the endurance of a boxer mixed with an ultramarathoner.

And they have to do it while controlling a ball with inches of margin, point after point, completely alone.

There’s a reason elite athletes respect tennis.

Sorry, if you still can’t see it, you’re probably the dweeb who got picked last for dodgeball in middle school.

There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it.
I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it" ?
