Will Australia see another Hewitt, Laver, Court or Newcombe
Is there an association between a stable economic situation in Australia and the lack of depth Australia has had of recent years on the world stage in men’s tennis? Is it possible that our young tennis stars of tomorrow have it too good, are not hungry enough or should we just resign ourselves to the fact that the game is too big now and we are positioned too far from the tough competition breeding grounds to dominate the sport of tennis anymore?
Is it merely ebbs and flows and it just not our turn to dominate or is it an issue of population, a bigger pool to pluck from, that Russia and many of the Eastern European nations are flooding the top 100 at present? Could their coaching methods, personnel and facilities be superior to that of Australia’s?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the subject!

Took this picture this morning and it reminded me of a saying, "if you want the rainbow you must withstand the rain!" (at Canberra, Australian Capital Territory)
My top three learning tips
1) Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast (from Greg Sumpter)
I think we typically want to learn a skill as quickly as possible, and be done with learning it. If we could only slow down, break things down into small reproducible parts, and excel in a smoother way, we would get to the end product with excellence much more quickly.
Why I like it: Because it keeps me focused on what really counts: being accurate and efficient, and letting the speed come later.
2) Start with the End in Mind (Bill Dorenkott, Head Coach of Ohio State Women’s Swim Team)
My 20-minute drive to work allows me quiet time to employ this rule for my day, week and season. I find it much easier to reverse-engineer a challenge than to fly by the seat of my pants.
Why I like it: Because there’s a huge gap between mere activity and targeted work; this saves me time.
3) Cultivate Awareness (Kent Bassett)
Instead of engaging in a running commentary about all the mistakes to avoid, and keeping a list of all the mistakes made, you should cultivate awareness. It fires the more unconscious, creative part of the mind. You can even say to yourself, “I’m going to play this passage, and I’m not going to try to avoid mistakes. I might even try to make mistakes.” This counter-intuitive technique allows you to play more freely, and often, with fewer mistakes.
Why I like it: Because rather than getting governed by your mistakes (always a danger), this helps you focus on mastering them.
Believe in yourself and there will come a day when others will have no choice but to believe with you. ~ Cynthia Kersey
