Tactics and style of play are closely intertwined

The span of the court, the height of the net and its placement, the weight(s) of the ball, the evolution of racquet technology so far, all have contributed to developing tennis into an all round game in this respect.It is well known that this is among the few games that needs incredible footwork and equal strength and manipulation of the upper body. There could not be an athletic feat like a running forehand that needs such a great co-ordination of the hands and legs.Players switch racquet grips from Western to Continental revealing in how many different ways gravity, and fluid mechanics can be combined to produce strokes that look as different as chalk and cheese. There cannot be a better example of Newton’s third law than the idea of the “sweet-spot.”The different surfaces involved, offering different amounts of elasticity and friction, give different responses to a ball that hits the ground.

These different surfaces again warrant a different manner of running, and a different manner of striking the ball Don’t slip on grass, while do slide on clay. Hit with top spin on clay and it will throw an upper-cut on your opponent, hit flat on faster surfaces and it will blitz past your opponent in no time.Surfaces, racquet grips, strings, and definitely the rules of the games themselves thus offer immense opportunities for the players to manipulate the laws of nature and still stay in the game.The most basic action of sport in tennis the physical layer seamlessly leads us into the next level the tactical.Tactics and style of play are closely intertwined. The inherent limitations of a player would make him extremely efficient in certain areas but a sitting duck in others He could do well from the baseline, or from the net.

He could do well on a particular surface and not others.On the one hand there is your opponent’s weakness, on the other there are your strengths How you play is of course an optimization between the two. And you have five factors not necessarily independent of each other, the control of which you use to achieve that optimization the two dimensions of the planar court, the altitude, the spin on the shot and the time to setup for the stroke.There are simple tactical battles like the one-two punch or elaborate point-constructions where each passing stroke in the rally moves you closer to the point. There are sacrifices made to effect a check-mate the next shot (like Federer’s chip into the service line followed by the pass), and visibly deliberate and unstoppable aggressive moves (like the Pistol’s move to the net on back of a serve). There is enough scope for creativity at each level of the game that a most successful player can be so due only to excellence solely in one of these (Monfils) or an extremely talented athlete can be a complete failure because he did not have the keys to one of these (Santoro).From an entertainment perspective, two things make it one of the most dramatic of sporting experiences the point system and the gladiatorial nature of the battle.The point system is hierarchical in that it “forgets” what happened in the previous game or the previous set. However pathetically you went down to an opponent in the previous play, you always get a chance to come back and start afresh. Both these factors have led to many an unbelievable comeback, and heart-breaking near misses. Whatever the kind of outlook you have, tennis has enough of it to offer. The “dots” that form the game seem to be placed in the most optimized manner for the kid to draw the cutest little picture in his nursery class, the artist to conceive the most fantastic painting, or the engineer to formulate the most creative optimization that fits them.The set of ideas that is tennis is simply an outright winner at every category.
