The no 1 tennis player is at the top of the heap, not bc of his skill. He is highly skillful, but so are like the top 400 in the world, give or take.
He is not at the top for his speed. (If you haven’t seen his blinding speed, it’s amazing)
He’s not no 1 bc of his forehand. A home wrecker let’s just say.
Here it is: he has the mind of a basketball player. He is thinking about 5 teammates, him and his coaches. But more than anything, he has, typically when the chips are down, the audacity of Jordan flying at Ewing with a tomahawk. Sure he’s Jordan. Sure he’s the wonder kid of tennis. He even has white hair of late. But he has cojones, and he uses them, mostly on the big points.
