Wow, you are vastly, vastly overthinking this. My point was simply that amateur tennis is played by ordinary people—of all ages, shapes, sizes, and experience levels—in large part for fun, exercise, and recreation, so there's no reason to think that amateur tennis is somehow becoming more about strength and height. Ordinary people aren't changing, and thus amateur tennis isn't changing.

Thanks for elaborating.

> Wow, you are vastly, vastly overthinking this.

This is your opinion. It also comes across as judgmental. Remember: people think differently and to different depths.

I suspected you had more to say. There is no plausible way one could read your mind and go from what you wrote before to what you wrote here.

I'm here to learn and discuss. It doesn't help when people have a dismissive tone in response to questions.

FWIW, I enjoyed many of your comments in this thread. But this one wasn't persuasive to me. If you are curious why, I can explain, but at present, based on your above response, I'm reluctant.
