Ball games


Marvellous game, tennis. Cerebral yet visceral - like jazz.

Great combination of power, technique, grace, constant improvisation, intelligence - so little is down to luck, unlike soccer for example - 'boot it and see'. Also, unlike soccer, there is an almost complete lack of tribalism - who cares if Ivanovic is a Russian, a Serb or a Canadian - as long as she plays well. And the women's game is so good these days. Love it - love it all. Marvellous game.
