[vc_empty_space height="15px"]What I want from tennis this weekend isn’t that deep. It’s pretty simple. I just want to see Jen Brady annihilate some forehands. I want to see the racquet fly way back, then take its angry swoop up into the ball, which sails high, only to dive back into the hard court and bounce up over some sap’s head. I just want to see Jen Brady hit mean forehands, the kind no one else really hits, that look quite convincingly like the best and heaviest shot on tour. Is that too much to ask? And if Naomi Osaka is hitting them right back, just as mean, then we’re really set. The last time they clashed was a keeper. What a treat that it’s happening all over again tomorrow, with the stakes set even higher.
