2023 Season-Ending MAILBAG

On the last Mailbag of the season, Gill Gross answers your comments, including: is Andrey Rublev's racquet to blame for his weaker 2nd serve, why Hsieh Su-Wei is a marvel, might the grand slams, ATP and WTA combine to create a super tour, what grade should we give Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev's seasons, when will Novak Djokovic consider retirement, why doesn't Djokovic hit a lot of runaround forehands, what is my favorite tennis style to watch, should Hubert Hurkacz be a serve & volleyer, what is the status of Nick Kyrgios heading into next season, is it harder to develop offense or defense, is Carlos Alcaraz too short to have success into the next decade, what did we learn from Jannik Sinner's win over Djokovic at Davis Cup and is he Nole's biggest threat at the Australian Open.
