Venus [[Most of you know him, simply, as Master Ace, but this Birmingham boy's real name is Patrick Hinton, and his knowledge of tennis is, well, compendious. Anyway, I got wind of some of his speculations in the Comments section of a recent post, and I invited him to post

His big hazel eyes wide with anticipation, 10-year-old Marc Krajekian walked excitedly onto the practice courts at the US Open this September. A guest of Paul Annacone, he thought he was heading over to hit a few balls with the longtime coach and commentator. Annacone had something else in mind.
