'ANOTHER SERVE 'BOT' DONE AND DUSTED'

Back in the days of 'real' tennis there was no such thing as a 'serve bot', you know, the tennis player who failed to grasp the finer details of the sport so they decided to become a server instead of a tennis player.
Reminds me of a Bon Jovi video where the band members joked about what they would become if they didn't make it as a musician.
The answer ?
A drummer.
This week in Miami the 'serve bots' are in full swing, flaunting the rules of tennis that give a player a free swing at the first ball in play.
Isner and Ranoic come to mind, two tennis professionals who would require a second job if only one serve was allowed in a sport that prides itself on technical brilliance.
( Someone forgot to tell the rules guy )
So two serves it is in tennis, funny stuff, like a golfer allowed two swings off the tee.
'There you go Tiger, go hard on the first swing, if you hit it into the water it's ok, you got another shot anyhow'.
Fair dinkum who made the rules of tennis up ??

Thank goodness Juan Martin beat Raonic, the only surprise was that it didn't go three breakers with the returning skills of Raonic. Forget Juan Martin, he just closed his eyes and tried to guess the correct way.
5-7, 7-6, 7-6 for the record.
Boring tennis ?
Not many breaks.
You could go to the bar for a few beers and get back to watch the end of each set, not a lot happens up until then.
So back to Miami.

Carreno Busta plays another serve bot in Anderson, a player I refer to as a 'one break tennis player', break him once and providing you can serve over 150 the set is yours. 
The best quarter final is between two tennis players, yep TWO TENNIS PLAYERS who serve well but who do not rely on the delivery to win a tennis match, they actually went to the 'real school' of tennis when they were kids, Coric and Zverev.
So Juan Martin Delpo has to go up against another 'bot' in Isner, hopefully for the sake of tennis the returning skills of the Argentinian are enough.
I am old, 49, grew up watching Connors, Borg, McEnroe, Vilas, Geruilaitis, guys who could put on a show, non robotic type players who owned every shot in the book, guys who put the serve in to simply start the point, perhaps with Mac being the exception, his serve was something special.

New rackets, greater technology, sillier ideas that complicate a once non complicated sport.
Nice guy John Isner, don't mind him.
Boring as watching paint dry.
Go the returner.......
