FREW McMillan made a New Year resolution - and kept to his word during a brief visit to Hong Kong last week.
The 51-year-old South African, who was returning home to England from the Australian Open in Melbourne, where he was commentating for BSkyB television, became an institution in men's doubles in partnership with Bob Hewitt.
The pair won five Grand Slam titles - three at Wimbledon, one at the US Open and one at the French Open - and McMillan added five more Grand Slam championships in mixed doubles, four of them with the Netherlands Betty Stove and one with South African compatriot Annette Van Zyl.
McMillan played his last event on the professional tour in 1983 but is still very much on top of the game, as a commentator and captain of the South African Davis Cup team.
And his observations on the state of the modern-day game led him to make a rather unusual New Year resolution.
''I would like to see only one serve in men's tennis - and it's one of my New Year resolutions to mention this as often as I can,'' said McMillan, who was in Hong Kong with his English wife, Sally.
