Re: Sydney QF: Benneteau def. Harrison 6-4, 6-2
I've always thought Harrison looked pretty strong from the upper body...

Nishikori doesn't look any stronger than him and can play in side the baseline. |

Nothing wrong with his body strength, it's the brain muscle that's weak.  |

Agree. He worked out a lot last year and probably is the strongest among players in his age (comparing to Dimitrov, Tomic, Stebe, or a little older Raonic, Nishikori). Look at his neck....
He has a lot to be improved but his body strength is not the priority. |

Harrison needs help developing his ground game.

This is not true regarding the earlier (and more successful) part of his career. |

I read that Harrison talks with Roddick almost daily and I don't think that is a good thing.

what happened with the kid in your ava btw? any idea?
About Ryan - really disapointed, it felt like he has potential, but he's not progressing, just staying at the same level for now too long.
I hope for Benne's first tittle, finally. The guy deserves it. |

Re: Sydney QF: Benneteau def. Harrison 6-4, 6-2
Seems to be that experienced taught a lesson to Harrison. Robredo last week in Brisbane and Benneteau now in Sydney. I hope that Benneteau can win his first ATP title here.

Yeah, he's strong for 20, but not strong compared to most other players, has to improve stamina/cardio, not just muscles.
