The State of United States Tennis

Is there actually a problem with American tennis? And what's next for the U.S.
For me, I don't see the next Pete Sampras, Jim Courier, Andre Agassi or Andy Roddick but, I see Donald Young maybe can become an top 20 or 15 player. And for the women tennis I believe Sloane Stephens, Jamie Hampton, Madison Keys and more can become in top 15 or 10 players.

What do you think will happen?

Victoria Azarenka vs Maria Sharapova 2012 Istanbul Highlights

I believe that they both played great but, Maria moved better and quicker than Victoria and that what made it more one sided.

Maria Sharapova vs Heather Watson 2011 US Open Highlights

3 set-match between two-great players, I liked that it was not all one sided and great shots from both of them. I still don't like how loud Maria Grunts are.
I believe that Grunting is okay but not that loud.

How to Hit Backhand Slice

Backhand slice is great to set up your next shot because most people can't outright kill the ball from the slice, what will happen if they try most likely the ball is going out of the court.

Backhand slice benefits
1. Your opponent can't kill the ball.
2. Give you time to get ready for your set up.
3. Backhand slice is good if you like to volley because it give you time to get to the net.
4. Get your opponent out of position.
5. Hurt opponent’s rhythm.

Even Rafael Nadal uses the one handed backhand slice!
