With tennis it is like music. You can love the most diverse styles, but in the end it all boils down to one thing: emotion. You need to feel something, there’s got to be that shiver.
I feel it when I watch the fluid tennis of Justine and Roger. Tennis with curls and bows.
The tennis of Kim Clijsters is nothing like that. But the shiver is there as well.
It’s: clean, laser-like, geometrical. No redundant elements. Stern. Less is more.
The tennis of Justine and Roger is like a beautiful painting by a French impressionist, warm colours, bright. The tennis of Kim is an abstract painting. Cool, meticulous.
In both cases, when you see it you know: MASTER AT WORK.
So I'll get up once again tonight to see some of Kim's art.
(The tennis of Andy Roddick on the other hand, is the equivalent of the would be post-modern artist who is throwing a full bucket of paint to the wall and calls this art. )
