Mavro turns, defence into attack by putting the ball back in play so often that his opponent gets tired hitting it and takes unnecessary chances. His accuracy is so great that it makes up for his lack of speed. His judgment is sound but not brilliant. He is a hard-working, conscientious player who deserves, his success. There are many other players who are interesting studies.
"Has he bought all that stuff?" asked Sir Andrew for there were five tubs on the wagon, besides one or two smaller kegs and some packages wrapped in sheepskin. "No, alas!" answered the Cypriote ruefully, and shrugging his shoulders. "Only two of the Mavro.
Speed is a necessity in English tennis if the modern game is to reach its greatest height in the British Isles. Youth must be seen soon, if the game in the next ten years is to be kept at its present level. Parke, Mavro, Ritchie, Dixon, Barrett, etc., cannot go on for ever, and young players must be developed to take their places. The coming decade is the crucial period of English tennis.
The Lowes could easily defeat any player who was slightly off his game, as they are very steady and make few mistakes. Neither would defeat a first- class player at his best. One of the most consistent winners in English tennis for a span of years is a little man with a big name, who is universally and popularly known as "Mavro."
On December 26, 1915, an ally aeroplane was brought to earth near Birelsabe, and the French pilot, Captain Baron de Ceron, and a British lieutenant were killed. On December 27, 1915, the Turkish forces sent out a seaplane, which made a reconnoitering flight over Tenedos, the island of Mavro, and the many positions near Sedd-ul-Bahr, striking a torpedo boat south of this point with a bomb.
His ground strokes are fine, in splendid form, very accurate and remarkably fast for so little effort. Mavro is not large enough to hit hard, but owing to his remarkable footwork he covers a very large territory in a remarkably short space of time. His racquet work is a delight to a student of orthodox form. His volleying is accurate, steady, well placed but defensive.
"Mavro" added another notable victory in 1920, when he defeated R. N. Williams in the last eight in the World Championships. "Mavro" has always been a fine player, but he has never quite scaled the top flight. His game is steadiness personified. He shoves his service in the court at the end of a prodigious swing that ends in a poke. It goes where he wishes it.
And you, Sir Knight, what say you of the black stuff 'Mavro, we call it not the common, but that which has been twenty years in cask?" "I have tasted worse," said Wulf, holding out his horn to be filled again. "Ay, and will never taste better if you live as long as the Wandering Jew. Well, sirs, may I take your orders?
Her judgment is remarkable, and the way in which she saves undue exertion is an art in itself. She gets a wonderful return for her outlay of effort. Hers is a personality of negation. Her manner on the court is negative, her shots alone are positive. She is never flustered, and rarely shows emotion. Mrs. Chambers is the "Mavro" of women as regards her recovering ability.
