Yes, it will be. it has to be.
i know , i remember one from Queens last year against Philippousis(no matter how many times i try i can't spell that right ) and he swung his arm out to reach the ball and won the point with one hell of a BH/ DTL shot, i was like watching that, and then after he had a wee sneaky smile awww, C'MON THE GRASS!!!partygirl said:His BH/FH DTL are awesome on grass -yo.
oooh I can't wait.
His BH was good yesterday. I agree with the court positioning too, it left something to be desired. He did hit a few FH's inside the baseline, but not enough. Hopefully John will work on that.debra ¡|:! said:yeah, his BH was surprisingly consistent yesterday and he went down the line a pleasantly surprising amount. But the defensive positioning will simply kill him on grass. I mean I think this goes without saying but he's just got to be really aggressive and that means standing on the baseline. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Andy just do it.
I watched that point online and it was something to be seen. Nice backhands down the line, and nice forehands deep and powerful. Andy worked the point, then smacked and inside out cross court forehand winner, which Martin just stared at and brought applause from the crowd.debra ¡|:! said:There was that one point late in the 2nd set, Andy was just smashing these shots from the FH AND BH running little Martin from side to side and then he finished it with a huge FH. I was on MSN with Amber freaking out about it being the best point I've seen him play in like 2 years, after which PMac was gushing that Andy needs to freeze that point and watch a tape of it, that's how good it was. Andy's getting it back, little by little. Yesterday, his court positioning wasn't great and obviously he had other problems that were out of his control, but I don't remember thinking "omg his shots are all landing so short" - and that is a REALLY good sign.
I wish I had that point on tape, it was a GREAT pointdebra ¡|:! said:There was that one point late in the 2nd set, Andy was just smashing these shots from the FH AND BH running little Martin from side to side and then he finished it with a huge FH.

I don't care what the guy wrote, that WINS. :haha:Alberto Martin (who?)
I remember that point, he was striking the ball sooo well. I wish he would do it consistently.
