My family were all avid tennis players. We even have our own clay court in our yard. When my mom was teaching me as a youth how to play I once commented on a match we were watching where one of the players was scrambling and running all over the court, huffing and puffing and working up a sweat, while his opponent seemed to just be 'strolling" around at the baseline and 'nonchalantly" returning his fierce volleys.
When I made the comment that the player who was storming all over the court must be the better player because he 'really knew how to hustle', my mom explained how wrong I was.
She said "In tennis, if a player looks like he's working really hard, it really means he isn't very good.
