I was just thinking about Edberg's record this year and for an Edberg
fan it is certainly a dismal showing. He's just won *1* tournament - the
German Open ( and that too on clay!) this year and lost mid-way in
most of the others.

Unless he picks up his game a bit he's going to slide down the
rankings in the  latter half of the year. 

I wonder why he's doing so badly. He seems to have lost a *lot* of
close matches (including the one to Goran at Wimbledon). Perhaps it is
a lack of motivation - he's won all Grand-Slam tournaments barring the
French ( which he almost did). He's been #1 for a fairly long length
of time *and* he's happily married . Just hoping that he picks up his
game  the next few months...

Just hoping......

I've kind of wondered about this myself - you know, why I'm attracted to
higher-ranked players, though not necessarily "top ten". Apart from the
obvious practical reasons - you can't be attracted to them if you don't 
know/see them and you have a higher chance of getting to see them
if they have a high ranking - there is something very attractive to me about
confident (and, therefore, successful) players. Also, the really good ones
seem to play because they honestly love the game, and their genuine joy
makes them attractive. Even the ones that aren't necessarily "naturally 
gifted" but win on strength-of-character are attractive for their tenacity
and their belief in themselves.

I'm not sure what this implies about very low-ranked players (the ones that
NEVER go above 50, say) - either they don't really love the game, or, if they 
do, then they don't have much pride in themselves (if you've done all you can 
and you still can't win then have the sense to get out - play club tennis, or 
coach.) That seems a bit harsh, I guess, but it's how I feel. I am trying to be
open-minded, but I just can't see how I can respect a player who is never
going to improve.

Well, probably the most attention he's seen in the past few years was winning
that infamous match against McEnroe at the Australian Open in '89, at least
I`m pretty certain it was '89. You'll recall that was the match when McEnroe 
was ejected after telling the umpire to "Go Fuck Your Mother". I'm sure
that is not the event for which Pernfors would most like to remembered, nor
McEnroe for that matter, but it was a pivotal moment in that Tournament, and
really seemed to have repurcussions in the whole Pro Men's tour.

Yet his highest ranking was #27, in the summer of 1984; he has won

(in 1983 and 1984.)  He finished 1991 ranked #177.

Whatever happened to this guy?  I remember watching him play in a tournament
(don't ask me to recall which) back in the early-to-mid 80's, and have not seen
or heard from/of him since.  Seems to me like he danced around a *lot* while
waiting to return serve (that's what made him memorable to me, anyway).  I
remember my brother-in-law commenting that all that dancing around would drive
him nuts 'cause it would break his concentration and he wouldn't play as well. 
(I tried it the next time we played and it seemed to have no effect, he still
killed me).

I have to agree, though.  Seeing my opponent moving around too much is
distracting.  I could almost put up with the grunting more...

Of course while it is still possible for a short player to serve as
hard as a taller player, the taller player will normally be bigger
and stronger which is an obvious advantage when serving hard.

Even given that a short player can generate as much power as a taller
player simple geometry tells you that the shorter player has less 
margin for error.  So a taller player will be able to serve hard (into
the service box) more consistently than a shorter player.

I've been playing tennis for a bit and keep having the
same types of problems.  I'm kinda short (about 5'4'' ish) and
I wonder if it makes serving harder.  I can't even see any part
of the area I have to serve the ball into over the net.  :(
