Re(1): the Good Old Days - Arregui at Palm Beach

Posted on March 21, 2005 at 05:03:14 PM by LB



Hey Craig G,
You made me want to post when you brought up Arregui playing at Palm Beach. I can remember going there on Sundays and watching Arregui do his thing. That's picking the serve! I'd put him right up there with the best of all time. At Palm Beach he'd take almost every serve.

A quick story, a friend and I had game point for a nice tri and low and behold we had to serve to Arregui.

I took the ticket from my friend's hand and before the pelota left the cesta of the server, I tore it in half. Arregui didn't prove me wrong....He went to work, took the serve and killed it.

As I watched the pelota cut off around the 2 line...our server didn't even move, he turned for the players cage.

Arregui....!
