I would totally disagree that his only strengths are his speed and tenacity. Although I'm puzzled as to why you think it's a bad thing that he chases every ball he can get down. Would it be better that he just didn't bother running and lost a lot of points? The more times you make your opponent hit a shot the more chance they have of making an error. And the more pressure he puts on them to go for the line more. But that's hardly the only way he wins! I'm thinking to his US open win over Sampras - did you see some of the passing shots he played that day? And Sampras was not playing badly, but Hewitt blew him off the court with skill and precision. Some of the best servers in the game have commented on his amazing return of serve (an Agassi trademark). His volleying is as good or better than Agassi's as well. And he hits a lot of winners. You simply don't stay at number 1 in the world for 18 months like he did with the depth that there is by 'pulling off' victories. You create victories and dominate the game and he has done that.

LOL Barry . Is that your way of saying Henman's never expected to win? I bet the punters on Henman Hill don't think that!
