general masterclass is just very bright person.
he and I often see things in tennis in a similar way.
I know the game as it relates to exactly how the war is waged on the clay court. primarily because I have played the sport at a reasonably high level. in particular and more specifically, I am a clay monster in my own right. I have never lost a singles match on clay. I played a game that is very similar to the way vilas, muster, and nadal play it. endless endurance and physical strength and heavy topspin off both wings.
general masterclass has incredible insight into the sport too but perhaps at a different level. he knows damn near everything while I am more specific with the actual capacities of the strokes and what they mean for clay.
so we tend to compliment each other to some extent.
Is masterclass a very big fan of clay as well? For some reason I thought he was more of a fan of grass and hard. It's very good to know that you are such a great player on clay.
I am more of a fan of grass because it's the most original surface and also because, I see tennis as rather an artistic and intelligent game rather than a very physical and brutal sport. That's the primary reason why I like both Sampras and Murray's game because I find those very artistic and intelligent. Perhaps I should then like Federer's game as well and I am not against it, but the whole package never really did it for me, so obviously a more down to earth character is also on the card for me to truly like a player. But you know, different strokes for different people.
you know I am not sure if he loves clay.
he may just like all surfaces.
and you are right about andy: he is the most down to earth chap out there.
