Re my post on two service attempts.
I've often wondered what percentage of a match's time is taken up with the endless ball choices & bounces this involves.

Well I am disappointed that you find that comment offensive, but looking at the shape of my hands and that of a gorilla, there is a remarkable similarity with the exception of the size. Or am I getting this wrong and it's the gorilla that you think is at the centre of the offensiveness??

I assumed you were referring to Alcarez the player, at Queen's.

Indeed I was but only as to his capabilities of catching a fourth ball in the same hand as he is already holding three, therefore comparing the size of his hands to that of a gorillas, the largest comparison I could make, for I know not what animal has hands larger than that, possibly the giant Panda, but then Panda's are hardly human like. Not that I am inferring that our tennis player resembles a great ape, well not in my opinion, some may beg to differ, but they are entitled to their opinion.🦍 🦍 🦍
