Mate. Your big smile. Your infectious laugh. It was always fun spending time with you. We had a blast together at so many tournaments. My favorite interview was in a rickshaw at the Dog & Fox at Wimbledon. Rourke and I will miss you dearly my good friend . 🙏🏼

When I travel to new places for tennis conferences I love to get out and see what’s in the local area. I was recently in Slovenia and had a fun afternoon at Otočec Caste - thanks to Katja! 🇸🇮🏰

This is the only water castle in Slovenia - built in the 13th century. So much fun to walk around and wonder what life was like back then.

I had some ridiculously good apple pie and ice cream there - accompanied by some delicious 🍷.

Tennis takes you places. So much fun to explore the 🌎. Thanks Katja!

You have probably heard the phrase “punch the volley.”

It’s not bad from an energy standpoint, but we can do better. The problem with the “punch” analogy is that energy is delivered to whatever is being punched, and it keeps driving through as the punch is delivered. If you take that concept to a volley, you end up with a really big follow-through and very little control when it matters.

That’s why “catch” is a far better analogy. With a catch, you go out in front of your body to meet the ball, and all the energy is delivered into contact, but not continuing after it. You don’t have a significant follow-through when you catch. You do when you punch.
