Deception

By Mike Hall, June 10, 2022

Ok…it’s surely a passing fancy that will have no place in tennis.

It is rumored that tennis pros in the Atlanta area are teaching a new and deceptive backhand.

The idea is really rather ingenious. Soon after contact, the player lets out a loud shriek and immediately puts her head on her shoulder and pretends to have a seizure.

You can imagine the startled opponent dropping her racquet and running to help as the ball touches down for a clean winner.

Granted, this could only happen once…but kept in the blonde’s arsenal and used on match point, it would be devastating.
