Does Size Matter? Sam Gouneili, left, and Brian Bacinschi
in the Boys' 14 consolation final. Having height can be advantageous, not only on serves but
for net play. That's how Brian played. Smaller players often
use placement, spin, and their
fitness
to overcome their opponent. That's how Sam played. The winner this time was
Sam, beating Brian 6-4, 6-4.
