June 8, 2018 - Maria Bueno Dies at age 78
She was a joy to watch with both aggressive serve and volley play and a smooth style. While she somewhat faded into obscurity to even many in the tennis community her name always brought to mind a singular passionate yet quiet soul with determination that took her from her home in Brazil to international tennis fame. She was a champion.
Buried in Hometown
Rest in Peace
Maria Bueno

Risk Reduction: Exercise, Sleep, and a Sip of Alcohol, Walking Lengthens Life
Alzheimers
Even without this there are very good reasons to get exercise, good sleep, and if you like it a sip of wine.
Focus on the exercise and sleep since those two are proven beyond a doubt to increase your health and happiness.
Walking
A leisurely pace of just hitting drills it should count as a fast walk on the tennis court so you can accomplish two things at once.

Shrinking Attention Span - Should Matches be Shorter
Make Matches Shorter
It may be time to consider this. It is likely that a three set match is more advisable for both men and women now that equipment and training has made the sport more intense than it has ever been. Injury rates are a factor too.
Another option is to change the game format and keep the number of sets.

French Open: Serena, Clothing Styles, Novak
Serena still Driven
Clothing Styles at the Open
It is nice to see that at least in France fashion is still important on the tennis court. These are some very nice clothing designs. I notice nothing at the U.S. Open to compare.
