I would prefer if the modern tennis players would try and emulate Arthur Ashe in the style of play. He was a sports men. Not a rich spoiled brat, like a lot of modern player seem to be.
Last night, there was a PBS documentary about Althea Gibson who practically never lost while playing in the Cosmopolitan Club. But, when she played in the world stage had to learn the proper etiquette when dealing with a lose to an opponent who just thrashed you in straight sets.

I stopped watching tennis when the players started grunting on every volley.

The sheepish smile on Snoopy at the end, more than makes up the desperate play.

Snoopy always plays aggressively, but he is at heart a big ‘teddy bear.’
