For over 20 years now National Tennis Federations and several Coaches around the world, decided to produce the simple way to people, with one-mode robot like standard tennis. Fortuitously 2 players survived this onslaught and have kept the interest alive inside the serve and volley all court sport, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer with Andy Roddick in a gray zone between those two great players.

Because of that one dimensional teaching of tennis by federations, and instructors, to-day everybody else that looks Roger gets the nerves. They've no answers or solutions for your issues Roger presents. It has awakened every expert in the world to speak wonders about the 'all court game'! The identical game that 20/30 years ago they themselves almost killed with new policies, heavier balls, bigger balls, slower balls etc...and by following specific 'tennis gurus' with poor coaching/development examples or tennis knowledge. Do not forget that everybody else turned their backs about the teachings of a great Master of the all judge instruction the late Harry Hopman 'The Fox.'

Now back again to Andy Roddick; all these complex Coaching trials at improving his backhand or his volleys or his results are solely making him drop confidence.... now everyone is discussing Andy Roddick creating a more all judge game! Amen! Pete Sampras was saying that along with his game style to all coaches for 1-5 years!

With Andy Roddick it'd be unreasonable to mess with the core of his game at this point of his career. Those activities (vulnerable elements of his game) may better them-selves as h-e develops like a professional, practices and gets better, eg. experience and more self-confidence. However the weaker areas of his game will always be 'flaws.'

If you all remember Stefen Edberg had a 'poor forehand' and a not-so good forehand volley! The same was for Jimmy Connors with his 'bad mid-court minimal forehand' and 'weak serve', or with Guillermo Villas 'no serve' and weak volleys, or Michael Chang trying to get a 'Bigger company' all his career and last, Ivan Lendl trying to stop being a 'chicken' or to better his volleys to win Wimbledon (I guess Lendl must have let Tony Roche volley for him at Wimbledon when needed!...not to mention the emotional ordeal in 1989 at Rolland Garros). Yet, these participants turned-out to be great winners pestered them through-out their careers and despite the fact that those weaknesses used.
