Power Tennis

Found an interesting article in WIRED today about how
racket technology has changed the face of tennis. As a former USTA
tennis player and fan myself, I'm not sure what I think about this.True, the way the game is played as certainly changed. No more high
moonshots and volleys or rushes to the net. Everything is played at the
baseline. But maybe it's only the men's games that have suffered from the
"boring" aspect of too much power. Certainly the women's matches are still
exciting to watch, because of the sheer power displayed. I've loved the
every twist and turn of the evolution of women's tennis.
