Message: [QUOTE="msf22b, post: 4051688, member: 656"] As a youngster, I used to go to Forest Hills for the Nationals...I think it was called that back in those days...and it was reasonably priced...I don't remember how little, but I do recall that when I got out of the army in '65, I could buy a '62 Margaux or Haut-brion for 15 bucks... My point: Leila's game reminds me of two old-timers...Rod Laver because of the lefty aspects that both take/took advantage of... but even more, the diminutive Ken Rosewall with the amazing backhand, touch and court awareness. Being diminutive seemed rarely to disadvantage him...In a final against Lew Hoad; his shot-making and service return completely frustrated the larger, stronger man. We haven't seen a player like her and who plays like that in some time...It will be fun following her in the up-coming years. [/QUOTE]
