Motivation Quote by Richard Krajicek

“Contrasting styles is always the most fun to watch” is the kind of line you’d expect from someone who’s lived inside matchups, not storylines. Richard Krajicek isn’t pitching tennis as pure aesthetics; he’s pointing to the sport’s engine: collision. Tennis gets marketed as rankings and rivalries, but what actually hooks you is the argument between two ways of solving the same problem.

Coming from a serve-and-volley-era champion, the subtext is affectionate and a little defensive. Krajicek’s game depended on shortening points, attacking the net, turning tennis into a series of quick choices. When he praises “contrasting styles,” he’s quietly elevating variety over homogenization - a nod to a time when grass-court instincts, clay-court patience, and baseline power all coexisted loudly. The “most fun” isn’t just fan service; it’s a value judgment about what tennis should preserve: difference.

The phrasing also smuggles in a simple truth about spectatorship. We don’t just like excellence; we like tension we can read. Contrast makes strategy legible: the grinder trying to drag the sprinter into long rallies, the counterpuncher absorbing pace until the hitter overreaches, the net-rusher betting everything on timing. It turns a match into a live debate where every point updates the thesis.

Culturally, it lands as a pushback against an era of converging technique and equipment-driven power. If everyone plays the same, the sport becomes a highlight reel. Contrast makes it a drama.
