There are no more tactical players like Coria or Gaudio," laments Toni Nadal
Toni Nadal has spoken about the current state of tennis. For him, the current intensity of the game pushes players towards injuries. To solve this, the game should be slowed down.
He explains: "I would say the problem is not so much the calendar but the excessive speed of the ball. It's not a question of quantity, but of intensity and hitting power.
There are no more tactical players like Coria or Gaudio, who sought to construct the point; now, they just hit hard.
However, by hitting so hard, by getting to the ball so quickly, you are constantly braking and accelerating, pushing your body to the extreme and risking injury. I think the game needs to be slowed down.
With smaller rackets, it would be easier for beginners and more difficult for professionals. The game would be less violent. The beauty of tennis lies in technique.
When McEnroe or Nastase played, everything was about the hand, the movement. If you serve well, your opponent doesn't have a chance to play.
