Episode notes
Court Speed Shapes Match Dynamics
- Slow, low indoor courts neutralize some big-serve advantages and reward creation of pace off dead balls.
- Players who can generate sudden speed (Fonseca, Alcaraz) gain disproportionate edge.
Event Blends Celebration And Competition
- The Laver Cup succeeds by blending exhibition energy with serious competition and star power.
- Roger, legends, and young talent create a live celebration that still produces high-intensity matches.
Target Serves On Slow Courts
- Hit your serve spots precisely on slow, gritty courts because marginal errors become returns.
- Mix slice and kick to disguise placement and keep returners uncertain.
