@asantesamuel13 4 ай бұрын

I totally agree. A toss is a serve attempt in my opinion and part of the skill needed at the top level is a consistent toss, just like anything else. And if you catch your first serve toss then you just accept your fate and hit a second serve. Players who catch their toss consistently don’t deserve all these chances because it’s unfair to their opponent waiting for a serve to come. It’s too easily manipulated.

@loc7909 4 ай бұрын

I kinda like that idea but with a serve clock now it's sort of moot & as the last comment said the rules around what constitutes a toss would have to be nailed down like they are in table tennis. RN if you make any legit effort to hit the ball, thats a serve

@foolmetwice374 3 ай бұрын

Yes, it's basically the baseball rule, too. Stumble or stop, and it's a balk. No take-backs. Lose your serve if you catch it. The server has enough of an advantage as it is. Also, I wouldn't mind if they got rid of lets. Just play the point out like NCAA does.

Was at this match. Kucera was destroying Agassi. He appeared to be annoyed with himself at the bad tosses and certainly didn't need any extra edge to beat Agassi that night. Agassi's tactics created a surreal environment that was unbelievably effective in turning the crowd against Kucera and then piling it on. His antics started with him down 6-3, 6-3, 4-1. When play halted due to rain about an hour later, it was 6-3, 6-3, 6-7, 0-3. Without that stoppage there is no chance Kucera could have won. He rallied from a break down in the 5th set the following day.

@@allthesame3856 He was all hype at the beginning when he had the long hair (it was also a hairpiece!). But he won Wimbledon in '92 so he won out of the gate and Barbara Streisand was in his box during the finals. So he went from hype to reality. He won Slams a couple of more times, but the party became the job and tennis took a back seat. After he got divorced and found all of the things he loved about tennis again, the tennis Gods gave it all back to him. That's when he went from great player to legend. AND he got Steffi Graf. That's better than all of his Grand Slam titles!

@halffulltome not necessarily true. Elena Dementieva had horrible serving problems and more recently zverev really struggled as well. Not necessarily tossing problems but the serve as a whole is a tough motion that can get in even pros heads and kucera had a toss that could bring down rain which compounds problems
