## Resource

Is the modern tennis circuit too "robotic"? This episode of What You Talking About Willis hears Marcus and Dave dive deep into the creative soul of the game. From tactical gambles to the gritty reality of life on the road, the boys aren't holding back. Also on the menu The Creative Edge: Should players ditch the "one size fits all" approach? We discuss the radical idea of switching rackets between serving and returning, and why the underarm serve is still the most underutilized weapon in tennis. The "English Haka": Could a pre-match Morris dance strike fear into the hearts of opponents, or would it just result in a lot of jingling bells and confusion? The "Real" Tour: Forget the private jets and five-star hotels of the Top 50. Marcus gives us the lowdown on the professional grind—where do you actually wash your match kit, and which budget hotels are the least suspicious? Linguistic Archaeology: The boys take a trip down memory lane to look at words and phrases that have unceremoniously dropped out of the English lexicon Marcus and Dave want you to join in the fun INSTAGRAM and YOUTUBE Please like and subscribe to this podcast and spread the word!
