It's not "semantic". "Overpowered" is a fairly clear concept and I'm simply
pointing out that Lendl did NOT "overpower" people. Jaros'sgument is that
because he hit the ball harder than other players of the early 80's (which I
don't in general deny) that this IN ITSELF proves that he overpowered them.
I'll simply point out that this argument could apply to any group of
extremely unpowerful beginners; if one hits a little harder than the others
then this player MUST be overpowering them.............
