If the player's movement is created by the process of 'drawing' of what he sees or strives for, the movement rhythm (timing) which is created in the unit of ball and player thus described is a result of the relations made between the racket face and the ball. The ball curves, which always resemble each other, and the racket face, which simultaneously follows the ball curve, impose the movement rhythm on the player. The recurring movements of the body are similar because the body makes possible the rules which the racket face must stick to. There is a correspondence between the compulsion of the racket face to move rhythmically and the form of the movement of the whole body.

The implication of the simultaneous process of perception and movement is made possible by gravitation.

The player behaves as if he already knew what was going to happen in the future. In moving, he abandons himself to a law which he takes for granted. When moving, he trusts in the validity of the law of gravitation. This trust corresponds to a process which can be made clear by the example of dance. The dancer does not move his feet after having heard a sound or a beat of the melody, but simultaneously with this sound or musical beat. He trusts in the flow/rhythm of the melody, he takes it for granted.
