Thanks for posting this vid. Date's FH was so very different than anyone on the tour when she played earlier. As you said straight back and through, she hit it so flat. Her FH reminded me a lot of the Conners FH, though Jimmy would turn his trunk a bit more....

@hi10spro Another upload that talks about her excellent ability for anticipation. The talk on the video is by Shuzo Matsuoka. This seems to be another reason why her signature 'rising shot' was born. She also made a comment recenlty as to if she is a slow starter. She says, because of her style, it takes time to adjust her tennis. Everybody says the same? Well, u would know what it means to her if you really understand 'her style.' BTW, the same Q was also made in her first carrer.

@hi10spro She's amazing, because of Kimiko I still believe in ladies tennis :)

@hi10spro she played a fantastic game yesterday beating safina, i only wondered cause she used to be left handed and was forced to play right handed.

Perhaps "Old School" is a misnomer: I've combed through a bunch of vids from the wooden-racket eras (after the late 1960s) and couldn't find anyone who has Date's takeback. In fact, I was surprised to see a lot of loopy swings, including Laver and Evert. McEnroe is the closest I've found to Date, but even he uses a mild half-loop.

@BevelDevil nah, it's appropriate, it's her follow through that is old school. All the newbies are swinging fan style. she's like 39...and still kicking huh?

BevelDevil is definitely correct.
@hi10spro You are wrong. Her style is her own invention. There is a 5 parts Youtube video that shows how her style came to become as it is. She invented her style with help by her coach in order to play top players at that time who played like, say, young ones these days.

@tomashiby what's the link? I like her style--VERY SIMPLE--easy to do, but hard to generate pace over and over, i think--simple is always going
