Many top players have built their whole careers on one good lick, such as Ivan Lendl with his forehand. I'm not familiar with Bolleteiri's methods, but we should keep this "ranking" business in perspective. Sure, Jimmy A. has settled to a lowly "#20" but that is a WORLD ranking. Even #100 could blow your local club champ off the court with one hand in his pocket.It's what Vic Braden calls "learning to hit the same old boring winner." He points to Evert and Connors as examples. They seldom use anything fancy, but have developed solid, basic, backhands and forehands which they use to just dog their opponents without mercy. ...Ron Morgan
