It's cool, then. It is ironic...then again, I can't tell you how many times I've commented on a player at Orlando trying to ream every single shot, play power, power, power, and overthrow or whiff as a result, only to then come back after the comment and play finesse kill shots that actually socre, only to then revert back to the old way in a day or two.

I have been surprised to see Jon not winning much at all, anymore, because he is not playing badly. It's not like he's tipping nothing balls, and moreso, in my opinion, that he has given up on his bread and butter shot--the remate--he is not going for anymore, and he has the 2nd best remate at Miami, second only to Lejardi. Aldazabal, on the other hand, is playing poorly...then again, for a decade or more, he's refused to play court positioning or hustle back to get in position. No other player gets chula'd more because of not hustling back to get into position. If he didn't try to be a frontcourter, he'd be better off. And he just loves to run up, get a forehand, only to then throw the forehand RIGHT BACK to the frontcourter's forehand???? Great play...lol.
