The serve-and-volley types, a number of professionals that seems to shrink each season, are more prone to foot faults than baseliners. Stefan Edberg was known for foot faults, for dragging his feet forward as he rushed the net. In years past, pros said the number of such calls seemed higher at Wimbledon, in large part because more players served and volleyed.

it's a really silly rule WTA have where top ten players can only play 2 250's per year.
Vulturing a 250 could have done wonders for Anett's confidence. And I would say Garbine too, but I don't think she can even vulture 250's at the moment.
