The American champion is one of the really great orthodox players in the world. There is nothing eccentric, nothing freakish about his game. Johnston is a small man, short and light; but by perfect weight-control, footwork, and timing he hits with terrific speed. His service is a slice. Hit from the top of his reach Johnston gets power and twist on the ball with little effort.
They were not all blondes, for some of them were distinctively dark of hair and skin, though I was puzzled to tell how much of this was inborn and how much the work of art. Another thing that astonished me was the wide range of bodily form, as evidently determined by nutrition. Clearly there was no weight-control here, for the figures varied from extreme slenderness to waddling fatness.
Foot-work and weight-control. Strokes. Court position. Court generalship or match play. Tennis psychology. Tennis is a game of intimate personal relation. You constantly find yourself meeting some definite idea of your opponent. The personal equation is the basis of tennis success. A great player not only knows himself, in both strength and weakness, but he must study is opponent at all times.
