I think that no tennis player can truly be great unless they fear tennis balls. There are countless pictures of Roger and Rafa looking at tennis balls like they believe they are about to turn into monsters and eat them. Because of this they will do everything possible to make sure that tiny fuzzy yellow ball goes far far away and doesn't come back. This is why they are great.

And you just know that just moments after that photo was taken, that little tennis ball was already on the other side of the court wondering how exactly it got there (a question also being asked by the other player as they watch a bright yellow blur fly past in the wrong direction)

However, recently, Roger's fear seems to have become slightly uncontrollable. He now believes that merely sending the balls far away is not going to save him, so instead, he flees

See the ball

Fear the ball

FLEEEEEEEEE!

However, after some counciling, Roger seems to have faced his fear, and is now ready to embrace the tennis ball as a friend
