Re: The greatest slam achievement?
I'll be honest: I started reading it with interest and after a paragraph my eyes started glazing over.
This looks like a descriptive and not an argumentative essay.
Most serious tennis fans already know the facts, have their opinions more or less formed and want to hear something new.
You've got to grab our attention with the first two paragraphs . Say something bold and challenge the readers in your opening paragraph.
Follow with pros and cons, ideally concluding with an open dilemma style question.
That's how I'd do it.
Tennis is not hugely popular here and people either love it or couldn't care less.
those who love it know a lot, so you have to be prepared to be a step ahead. good luck !

Also, in my opinion, passion is an absolute must the madder the better!

Try following a promising junior. It may seem risky and take ages, but it could be worth it

Sadly, you'll asways be guaranteed instant success if you prop another GOAT discussion, that one never seems run out off fashion....

In that case DO NOT MISS the golden opportunity of next year's Olympics. Try to get people interested in beach volleyball

i liked the piece thought i dont agree with it. dont be bothered about criticisms about length. if an article is of interest it will be read. JK Rowling's books are 600 pages long, yet they get read.
suggest you space your para properly.

Mens player, IIRC, I could not name the Brazilians or the US on the Women's side. Just a personal preference.
