RE: Week 3 - Futures F2 (15k) - Sheffield, GBR


Absolutely - that's the question for Dan - Evans and Cox even more - how much do they want it and how hard are they prepared to work to make it happen if they've got the talent, the tennis brains and the fast feet they'll need. Or alternatively the phenomenal on-court personality and hand-eye coordination of the Zheng Zie/Cibulkova/Bartoli's who are all absolutely tiny up against the Sharapovas etc. Unless of course they have a miraculous late teenage growth spurt.

I'd say Dan Evans in 5'10 which isn't that short.

It's all about maximising your strenghts. Being a shorter player you should naturally be quicker around the court and a better mover than the taller guys.Also power can be about timing as much as size.

Look at Carla Surez-Navarro 5'4 and out hitting Venus Williams probably one of the hardest hitter the womens game has ever seen.

You're all forgetting the most obvious "short@rse":  Michael Chang was/is only 5'9", yet he managed to do quite well for himself! wink

Not enough giants? And even then... no, not continuing that train.

We're all perfectly formed?
Good things come in small packages?
Smoking stunting our growth?

I don't think we're THAT small. We're only a very percentage of the British public on here so taking the measurements from 20-odd people is not the an exact science like L'Oreal is. 78% of 190 people said they'd recommend it to a friend? Wow!

Because we're worth it.
