Da Feet and Defeat

Da Feet and Defeat

First, we have Serena and her glass-cutting story…finally making it back and trying to be heroic and stoic… but ending in DEFEAT

Then we have Kim and the wedding dance on someone else’s feet and after a struggle, DEFEAT

Now, we are all waiting with baited breath…how bad are Rafa’s feet, sorry, foot… they took an MRI on his feet after a sharp pain was felt during his match with Del Potro… in his words, a new pain…

How important are the feet in tennis… let’s see… there are 52 bones, 66 joints, 214 ligaments and 38 muscles and tendons, and you don’t want any of them to hurt.

In tennis, we talk about footwork. How well someone is moving on the court. Right now, Andy Murray seems to be moving well… ditto Roger Federer. What kind of footwork… side steps.. cross-overs… backward running… split steps. Or just plain running like Wozniacki who even runs after a match. Poor girl ran herself right out of Wimby and into DEFEAT. Sorry.

So, tennis players respect the feet or face “Defeat”… Tune in next week for the KNEES.
