OK, that wasn't so hot...tennis bums, listen-up.
.
A hundred yrs. ago, I played USTA tournament tennis and through various introductions I met and hit with Hank Pfister several times.
He was ranked #10 World at the time.
Two things I took away from that acquaintance:
- He lost to Borg at the US Open but took a set off the champ.
Pfister said that how Borg's game would dishearten most players was that no matter how penetrating your shot was, Borg would be there waiting for the ball.
- I couldn't believe how much better I played as a result of hitting w/Pfister's level of skill.
Forever grateful, I was (am).
