The ball was struck,
Struck with such power,
But it just came back,
Came back faster.
What skill was shown,
Shown by these ladies,
Hitting a yellow ball,
Over the green sward.
The ball kept coming back,
Like it had hit a wall,
A wall that had power,
That sent it back faster,
That wall of skill.
“I’ll bet that that is the fastest wall she has ever hit a ball against” John McInroe said this when Joanna Konta played against Simona Halop at Wimbledon.
