If you're only getting fired up for matches against the big dogs these days you might as well not bother playing every week and just reduce your schedule to try to create a bit more desire.

in the modern game, shot tolerance is king. will he eventually one day decide to put the jumping backhand on the shelf and learn to rally and push and angle opponents off the court? my gut says no but maybe watching his buddy Felix continue to climb the rankings and earn huge paycheques for consistent winning will change his mind.
