Bill Israel comments on the fascination that is layer tennis:
First, I like some narrative to the match. I don’t mean that each volley must necessarily continue a story, but I like to see the competitors get into a groove where they seem to be telling a story with their volleys.
The October 12 match was the highlight for me; each new volley contained elements from the previous serve. The result was a true match of skill and talent, where the goal wasn’t so much in developing something entirely new in each serve, rather utilising the existing layers to build a new scene of an ongoing story.
After looking at the last match, with it’s recurring themes and motifs, it’s clear the designers are devouring previous matches for guides on good technique and each serve really did stand up and add something to the last.
Thank you Coudal, for introducing such an amazing, vibrant and entirely creative event — even if it’s a very, very late night for those watching live from down-under.
