I watched Wawrinka on youtube then went to courts with ball machine trying to emulate him. With proper footwork and a straight arm I definitely hit OHBH better. Not too sure about returning a hard serve as it will be hard to have time and also hard to practice it. I guess just wait till the last second when using the ball machine?

Read a bunch of tennis biographies and autobiographies. John McEnroe really didn't impress me. Nor did Jimmy Connors. Seemed like pretty dumb guys. McEnroe was depressing. They both seemed like asses. Pete Sampras also kind of a dumb guy although at least nice. The biography of Lendl was interesting. Always liked him best. Monica Seles is basically brain dead. Now started one on Rafael Nadal. He's far more interesting. Gives more of the details that I want to hear about while the others just randomly report match results slam after slam with a few random events thrown in.

Richard Williams wrote a pretty neat book. Not really a tennis book. More along the lines of Fredrick Douglas except more interesting actually. Seems a very underrated book. He admits to breaking the law and getting away with it quite a bit. Seems owning a business is the way to go in life if you really care about making money. Not that I didn't already know that. I don't care enough I guess.

So I'm an INTJ. My wife is an INFJ. My one sort of close friend (sort of...) is an INTF. My wife's closest friend is an ISTJ. Maybe there's something to Meyers Briggs. Possibly will learn about the other personalities. The ISTJ makes sense (equally and logical ethical but boring). INFJ (almost as logical...)
