[quote=Anonymous]I played tennis in on my high school team. The JV coach at least had a tennis background, the varsity coach was not a tennis player himself. Our top player had taken private lessons for several years and was quite good, most of the other starters were good athletes in other sports who picked up tennis as something to do in the fall. Then there were those like me who enjoyed playing but only made the team because tennis was just not a competitive sport at our school. Most of the neighboring high schools were similarly middle-class and we were competitive with them. When we played the schools across town, the country club suburbs, we were always thoroughly dismantled. It's not even that they were better overall athletes than our top players, but there was a huge difference in training and technique. It's easy for anyone to go hit around balls at a court, but the Williams sisters are the exception, not the rule.[/quote]
