One particular Saturday afternoon, around age 13-14 if I recall correctly,  I remember we hit…

Rafael Nadal is a fierce competitor. Just before he serves, he often gives his opponent a look reminiscent of a snarl. But contrary to what some of us might be thinking, that doesn’t mean he’s about to try to serve that opponent off the court. More often than not, he’s just looking for an effective serve that’s going to set up an awesome reply to an average…

Something fateful happened to tennis in the birth of the 1900s. The Doherty…
