Were people looking at Sampras and looking at you and saying, oh, this is, they don't, they didn't like it?

Is that, was that the general vibe?

Yeah.

Okay.

And you think that's a pity?

Yeah.

And the artistry, well, it's the aggression of the serve and I'm rushing the net mixed with the artistry of, you know, macaroni's pump, finding all sorts of angles at the net.

I read an interview where you said the likes of Alcaraz now kind of has no weakness to his game or a lot of the top players now really have no weakness, whereas that maybe wasn't the case a generation or two ago.

So, for instance, your backhand, rightly or wrongly, was perceived as a weakness.

And so it got pummeled.

Is that right?

Talk to us about that.

That's fascinating.

I just wouldn't have thought you could get to world number four.

That's like something I'd say.

It's like, don't hit it to my backhand.

You know what I mean?

How are you getting to world number four with a backhand that's perceived as weak?

Okay.

You would have a tactical eye in how you see the game.
