When did ‘chip and charge’ become a sneak tactic?
It is amazing to me that people who do not understand tennis have jobs in the media writing about tennis.
Look at some videos on youtube of Sampras and Navratilova.
I’m not sure what your jab at the media is for… the article is discussing Boris Beckers comments that the shot is cheap. It’s not an unprompted editorial about it. In fact, the author even comments that this was formerly a common tactic in a paragraph about how the complaint shows how much the game has changed.
