Well, Mr haggisv,

I agree that Mr. Moregard here exhibits world-class skills.

And he does hail from the same homeland as Mr. Waldner.

However, IMHO his skills are not as "aware" as Mr. Waldner's.

I might liken Mr. Waldner's all-encompassing awareness to that of Roger Federer, Lionel Messi, or Wayne Gretzky. Those GREATEST PLAYERS seem to have that extra small portion of a second that allows them to make surprise choices in the shot-making. For example, Waldner's blade often trails behind his wrist, (IMHO) it's like his intelligence is soooooo very high that he can wait a bit longer than 99% of his competition before he unleashes something unpredictable.

And Mr. Moregard, is like the other 99% of super skilled players, who hit with the decision made (the shot placement and spin choice) at an earlier moment in the flight of the oncoming ball.

What is your thoughts on this?

:topspin:

Maybe it's "Waldner" in the making...

Yep, agree with you glennholder. Lucky he's still young and can build further on those skills.

Ape has a good deal of skill as well. Moregard is an artist inborn, not ape. He was endowed by God itself.
