Used in a sentence: "John Isner plays tantric tennis."
If you didn't think so by watching him play in 2010 at Wimbledon, then surely you recognize so after his 2012 French Open performance.
[Disclaimer: it is true that this thought came to me independently this week. But, thanks to the interwebs, it is also true that someone else thought of it back in 2010 -- as proven by the Haiku presented two years ago (at the link below):
High performance play.
All day and yet no climax.
It's tantric tennis.]
