PLAYING THE BALL TO THE BODY: GREGORY GAULTIER

A shame this rally had to finish with an error. But there is still a lesson for us to be noted: even if probably Gregory Gaultier's last shot was a miss-hit cross-court that ended up in the middle of the court, it makes sense to play the ball onto the body of the opponent from time to time, and maybe even a bit more often if your opponent is as tall as James Willstrop is in the current case.
