Merry Christmas from My Side of the Net
Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas. As a gift to the loyal readers, I’ve included an interview conducted by Alec Baldwin on his podcast, Here’s The Thing, with John McEnroe.

The conversation addresses some of the topics that I’ve covered on this blog, specifically the popularity of tennis in the US and changes in equipment. McEnroe also has some interesting ideas about how young tennis players should develop skills outside of tennis and how rule changes my bring more viewers to the sport. My favorite suggestion was to remove linesmen from the game.
Sure John, we understand that you’ve fantasized about that one for your entire life.
This is great insider information from one of the living legends of tennis and I’m giving it to you for free! Feel free to re-gift if you so desire.
