“There are no points awarded for *Style, *Difficulty, *Technique, *Power, *Spin, *Equipment, *Athleticism, *Knowledge, *Speed. Why can’t Nadal stay near the baseline for service returns and “take it (120+ mph serves) like a man?

Sure Kyrgios is doing more than just looking for an advantage on that point when doing an underhand serve. But Nadal always makes the server wait while he scratches himself and wipes his sweaty head. Lots of players complain e.g. Medvedev in the US Open final. Surely Nadal is establishing his dominance by making his opponent wait and controlling the pace of the server. That’s worse than an underarm serve cos it’s actually against the rules!
