I read somewhere that he used to stay at the net and instruct his partner to
pick up any ball that got past him. Not many did. And Noel Stock, in his
biography, says that his tennis include 'many extraneous leapings'. Didn't
he also try to teach Yeats to fence, with very little success? I think
Hemingway says something about Yeats thrashing around with the foil like a
whale.
