Well truthfully, very few players use this tactic to counter excessive ball-bouncers. But if used, it would be very effective medicine.

One reason why it probably isn't used too often is that it would create a further delay in the game, and most players are eager to get on with the game rather than delay it more.

>> CANADAGUY, what do you think of Federer's recent performances? I wonder if you have watched Indian Wells Tennis Masters Open. If so, do you have anything to say about Nadal, Djokovic and Ana Ivanovic？<<

Yes Kevin, I did watch a few matches from the Indian Wells Masters.
First congratulations must go out to the two Serbs (Djokovic and Ivanovic) for their well-earned victories.

Nadal has always had a difficult time winning on hard-court surfaces
and this tournament was no exception. It will be interesting to see if he can win the French Open again in May.

Everyone is talking about Federer and his recent performances.
There is no question that something is wrong with his overall play, but only he knows for sure what the problem is.
It could be mental, physical or both.

It's informative to look back at Sampras' career 10 years ago when he was Federer's age.

At age 26, Sampras had 10 slams to his credit.
  Federer is currently ahead of Sampras for age 26, (12 slams).

It took Sampras 5 more years to win 4 more slams.
 We will just have to wait and see how many more slams Fed can win.

Pete never won more than one slam a year in those last five years.
 Despite what his detractors were saying at the time, his career wasn't over.

In one of those last five years Pete didn't win any slams.

Pete won just two ATP Masters Series tournaments in his last five
years! In his last five years of pro playing he lost 28 times to other players at ATP Masters Series events. Nine (9) of those 28 losses occured in the 2nd round or earlier. Despite these 28 losses Sampras persevered.

Sampras only reached the 3rd round of Indian Wells when he was 26 (Federer reached the semis).

So, as poor as it seems Roger is playing at the moment, Sampras had even greater setbacks when he was Roger's age.

We will just have to be patient and see how Roger can do in the next year or two.[/quote]
