There are certain advantages that a tennis player has if they stand 6 feet 6:inches tall and can serve at 130 mph. But if their ground strokes aren’t up to scratch they are not guaranteed the points on their serve.
From the spectators’ point of view, tennis is more exciting if there is a close contest with a variety of strokes and some exciting rallies. At Wimbledon a fast serve certainly helps, but players who have the skill to return hefty serves and the full range of forehand and backhand strokes are the ones who stand a chance of holding the trophies aloft.
