British Juniors?

[robertg06]

I really don't like the way Monfils plays at all...

[Tofi]

thats true but some people are like that and some people aren't.... people who are skinny tend to have more stamina thats what i've seen.

[BestLefty UK]

I really don't like the way Monfils plays at all...

Monfils is such a ledge! I love his game contrary to many people on the forum... I love his baseline style and long rallies

[Tofi]

i havent seen how monfils plays. does any channel in the uk(on freeview) broad cast the aussie open??

[robertg06]

Not on freeview I don't think...

[BestLefty UK]

i havent seen how monfils plays. does any channel in the uk(on freeview) broad cast the aussie open??

Not that I know of... Either Skysports or Eurosport will show the Aussie open. So your gonna need to get Sky to watch it

[Tofi]

kk i guess i'll see some of it at my club next year.

[robertg06]

I watched it every morning before school last year...I think it was Sky Sports

[robertg06]

My dad says he'll take me on Wednesday, so who knows what I'll see. I'm not expecting it..but it would be a nice perk.

[Teamtomo]

OZ open was on BBC this year year............channel 301 or 302.

Hope its the same next year.

[robertg06]

I swear I remember recording it from Sky Sports Xtra

[SaunderS]

I swear I remember recording it from Sky Sports Xtra

Most tennis is on SS extra

[Tofi]

kk calm down i looked at it from what i've seen at school. people who have longer legs tend to be faster. fasted kid in my year is taller than me by far i'd say he's around 5 foot 8" tall and he's so fast. so thats how i see it. anyways does anyone apart from me here use a 1 hbh??

[BestLefty UK]

EDIT: And to answer the question, I don't but I would love too because 1H's look so much nicer

[robertg06]

[BestLefty UK]

[robertg06]

There's a 7 Foot kid in my year, he's best in the country for shotput.

[BestLefty UK]

There's a 7 Foot kid in my year, he's best in the country for shotput.

He should start playing b-ball

[Tofi]

yeah same here. im not a stump though theres alot of other kids that are shorter than me in my year there are people that around 5 foot or less. theres this girl in year 11 not sure about her height but shes training with the gb olympic team for discus.

[SaunderS]

[BestLefty UK]

Tofi why do you edit all of your posts? Im about 5'8 5'9 ish. Im pretty small for my age.

[SaunderS]

[Tofi]

Tofi why do you edit all of your posts? Im about 5'8 5'9 ish. Im pretty small for my age.

because sometimes i forget to add things etc. i like to edit as i forget to proof read what i write.

[robertg06]

He should start playing b-ball

He does, he's an absolute beast...Wins B-ball competitions single handedly

[SaunderS]

Thats not that small... when was your last noticable growth spurt?

I have grown about 3 inches in 2008!

[BestLefty UK]

He does, he's an absolute beast...Wins B-ball competitions single handedly

He must be a monster underneath the rim! Whats his free throw like? ;)

[robertg06]

He never misses. And he can score three pointers from practically the halfway line.

[BestLefty UK]

He never misses. And he can score three pointers from practically the halfway line.

Really... he's huge and he can shoot. I'm a good shooter but I'm not huge thats not fair! What about his passing?

[robertg06]

His basketball game is flawless, he practices it like non stop.

[BestLefty UK]

His basketball game is flawless, he practices it like non stop.

What's his name? I wanna see who he plays for

[robertg06]

Luke Roach Christie

[BestLefty UK]

Ahh can't be arsed to look for him!

[robertg06]

Ha, in real life you wouldn't have to, you'd see him from a mile away.

[Teamtomo]

Ha, in real life you wouldn't have to, you'd see him from a mile away.

I loled at this :D

[robertg06]

:) Lol, it was rather funny. You playing tennis this week?

[Teamtomo]

Yep playing on Thursday for 2 hours... last group session of the year.

[robertg06]

Ah, nice, I'm not playing till Saturday.

[Tofi]

hey guys. i called the P W P guy on the phone and he said i could have any strings on the racket so i picked alu rough as thats what i was going for in the first place. i should recieve it between friday - monday. friday i have a session for 2 hours and saturday i have a session for an hour. those are my last sessions before the new year.

[robertg06]

Nice stuff, tell us how it plays.

[Tofi]

ok once i recieve the racket i'll review it. i'll probabley challenge some one in my ladder league for a match next monday as all schools in my town are off from then.

[BestLefty UK]

That is gonna be like the hardest racket to play with. Full Alu in a K90! God your arm is gonna be completely screwed... one of the heaviest rackets around with one of the most uncomfortable strings out, not forgetting the high stiffness rating

[Tofi]

i forgot to ask for some over grips. damn it.

[BestLefty UK]

i forgot to ask for some over grips. damn it.

Call 'em up and ask to add to your order

[mozzer]

Wow, k90 is hard to handle on its own, but with full poly too? :s
Group session on friday, tournament on saturday and a mens doubles match on sunday.

Heh, i say this, but my racket is 330g and strung with full poly at 59 lbs :s Just the fact k90 will be alot stiffer and less forgiving with the smaller headsize. Goodluck anyway ;)

[Teamtomo]

Your K90 is gonna be super-stiff.

[BestLefty UK]

Your K90 is gonna be super-stiff.

Thats the 3rd time someones said that lol

[Tofi]

ok ok...... if it hurts my arm then its my mistake. although when i tried it it never hurt my arm.

[BestLefty UK]

ok ok...... if it hurts my arm then its my mistake. although when i tried it it never hurt my arm.

Did it come in full poly? I doubt it

[Tofi]

it came in pro kennex professional strings well thats what was written on the string. i might be wrong as i only looks at the writing on the strings once

[SaunderS]

it came in pro kennex professional strings well thats what was written on the string. i might be wrong as i only looks at the writing on the strings once

Yeah, normally, i look at the strings it says something, then after time it does tend to change:)

[Tofi]

its most probabley pro kennex poly. it was a used string as it was frayed and looked pale and old so i guess its been there for a long time. maybe afew months.

[robertg06]

Lol Saunders that's harsh.

[BestLefty UK]

OK it doesn't matter what was in the demo cuz you'll probably find after a few hits and a couple of sets that you'll be aching. Here's a tip though, make sure that you string low. Higher than about 56 and your arm will start to ache

[Seblad2k8]

i can handel a K-90 easily then again i have been using heavy rackets since 10 lol then again im not at the moment anyways that isn't the point
THE POINT IS SOME PEOPLE CAN HANDEL AND PREFER HEAVY RACKETS

[Tofi]

cheers BLUK. they'll probabley string it at 55.

[SaunderS]

i can handel a K-90 easily then again i have been using heavy rackets since 10 lol then again im not at the moment anyways that isn't the point
THE POINT IS SOME PEOPLE CAN HANDEL AND PREFER HEAVY RACKETS

What racket are you using currently?

[Teamtomo]

My new tension is 59lbs---a bit precise i know but i chose it.

[Tofi]

tomo what racket are you using and strings??

[Teamtomo]

Ag300 getting x-1 biphase in red in January.........SALES!!!!!!!

[Tofi]

how much is it on sale??

[robertg06]

Hopefully I'll be getting my hands on an AG300 tomorrow as well :)

[Seblad2k8]

What racket are you using currently?

im using a Babolat aero PureDrive (the black and yellow version)

but im going to change to a more normal racket in a few months:)

Yea i meant Prodrive lol

[SaunderS]

im using a Babolat aero PureDrive (the black and yellow version)

but im going to change to a more normal racket in a few months:)

Aero Pure Drive?

[BestLefty UK]

You know like the oversize one. Its like got no other colours apart from like black & yellow

[robertg06]

Does he mean Aero PRO Drive?

[SaunderS]

Theres no such thing as te Aero Pure Drive.

[BestLefty UK]

http://www.p w p.com/tennisrackets.asp?id=5&cat=Babolat%20tennis%20rackets&Start=15&Offset=15

2nd one down. I think he means that

Or the old one

[mozzer]

No, he uses the first version of the aeropro.

[Seblad2k8]

opps yea i ment prodrive lol i think i was looking at your signiture when i was writing it

[SaunderS]

Tofi, try this. You dont get strings, but it should work out cheaper all together.
http://www.sweatbandtennis.co.uk/shop/detail.asp?ProductGroupID=16450&c=2354&d=216

[robertg06]

I think he's already ordered it...

[robertg06]

Yes! I found a AG 300 In Sports World after 10 minutes of hunting. £32 :). Hope to give it a knock later and see how it goes. Cheers, Tomo. It does say Demo on it as you say but can't find any difference.

[Teamtomo]

Post a pic rob!

[Tofi]

hey guys the lady said that i'll have my racket on friday. anyways rob at least its an ag300 that you found. there was only one im my sports world the other rackets where the 500, 700, 900 and 1000 versions.

[robertg06]

Just had a knock, it was great. My groundstrokes improved so much especially my backhand. The grip 3 is a bit big for me but I can just about use it. Serves were quite good as well, I'll post a pic in a sec.

[robertg06]

http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/499/lgim0020zs6.th.jpg

[robertg06]

There we go ^^ pretty crap pic but AG 300 on left and AG 200 on right.

[Teamtomo]

Didn't work.

[robertg06]

Ha lol yeah it is.

[Teamtomo]

http://i39.tinypic.com/b5idnd.jpg

[Teamtomo]

Dang! I've really fkd this up........

[robertg06]

Dunno the pic just wouldn't be bigger...

[Seblad2k8]

did you get a aerogel 200 racket aswell cause i can see the 300 but the blue racket looks like the 200?

[robertg06]

That's my other racket. I didn't buy it today I've had that one for about 5 months.

[Teamtomo]

Rob, are you gonna string your AG300 with redcode???

[robertg06]

Dunno, what string would you reccomend? To be honest I actually like the string it came with, I was getting far more pop and I loved the sound it made with my Babolat Vibrakill. I think I'll keep the same tension...

[Teamtomo]

WHAT YOU LIKE THAT GARBAGE THEY CALL MFIL TOUR 16????

ITS ALRIGHT FOR THE FIRST FEW HITS, THEN IT TURNS CRAP....
lIKE MINE ARE NOW :(:(


But i am getting x-1 biphase in January.

[robertg06]

Nice, tell me how that goes I might get some of that then :)

[Teamtomo]

Sure thing ;)

[robertg06]

Maybe some Alu Power or something? Red + Blue = great colour scheme and same as my 200s :)

[Teamtomo]

OR Cyber blue + biphase in red. Power, comfort and spin.

[BestLefty UK]

Maybe some Alu Power or something? Red + Blue = great colour scheme and same as my 200s :)

Full? Here's my suggestion for the AG300:
Mains: Big Ace Or Blue gear @ 56
Crosses: X1 Biphase Or PSGD @ 58

[robertg06]

Yeah that would be cool...I'll think about it once these strings start dying.

[Teamtomo]

Full? Here's my suggestion for the AG300:
Mains:r Blue gear @ 56
Crosses: X1 Biphase @ 58

Thats a nice setup......

[mozzer]

Full? Here's my suggestion for the AG300:
Mains: Big Ace Or Blue gear @ 56
Crosses: X1 Biphase Or PSGD @ 58
The thing is liek a rocket launcher , i wouldnt string less than 60 lbs :S

[BestLefty UK]

The thing is liek a rocket launcher , i wouldnt string less than 60 lbs :S

True but I wouldn't put any poly above about 58/60 (I had arm problems)

[Teamtomo]

Put the biphase at about 62... its quite powerful.

[robertg06]

I can get a guy to string for me for £7 if I provide the strings, or I could call up TN and ask them how much that setup would cost.

[BestLefty UK]

I can get a guy to string for me for £7 if I provide the strings, or I could call up TN and ask them how much that setup would cost.

You can't get Big ace or Blue gear at TN

[BestLefty UK]

And I dunno if they sell half sets

[Teamtomo]

My club stringer (my coach aswell) will string my racket for me for free if i provide the strings :D

[robertg06]

Yeah my coach may do that as well, I can order the strings from **** or whatever. If I buy a pack of Blue Gear and a pack of X-1 Biphase will that last me two stringings?

[BestLefty UK]

Yeah my coach may do that as well, I can order the strings from **** or whatever. If I buy a pack of Blue Gear and a pack of X-1 Biphase will that last me two stringings?

Depends different rackets need different lengths for mains & crosses so you may well not have enough

[robertg06]

Hmm, well my friend, Myles Golding, has AG 300s and is sponsored by Dunlop so I'll ask him for a recommended string set or whatever maybe he'll have spares :) I know I saw him using blue gear one time.

[BestLefty UK]

Are you attempting to boast about knowing Myles Golding? ;)

[robertg06]

I thought some people may know him :) *blush*

[Alexio92]

I thought some people may know him :) *blush*

Myles Golding? the one who is ranked 2 below me in the national rankings??

:-?

[robertg06]

Yup. And his brother Alex Golding is real good as well.

*cough* namedropping :) *cough*

[BestLefty UK]

Well if we're gonna do this. I've played Akash Arora (like 6 in Middlesex U16). And I've hit with Josh Page and Alex Croker (Both come to my club sometimes

[BestLefty UK]

Yup. And his brother Alex Golding is real good as well.

*cough* namedropping :) *cough*

I saw him on TV once. It was like a junior exhibition match that came on as like an undercard in the Blackrock masters a couple years ago.

[robertg06]

Well BLUK, I've hit with Josh Evenden and Rianka Patel :)

Yeah he's really good, he went to my school.

[BestLefty UK]

Well BLUK, I've hit with Josh Evenden and Rianka Patel :)

Yeah he's really good, he went to my school.

I know one of the top-ranked Malaysian U16's and have hit with him

[robertg06]

That's odd, I used to live in Malaysia. Is his name Khevan?

[BestLefty UK]

That's odd, I used to live in Malaysia. Is his name Khevan?

You used to live in Malaysia? When was that? No his name wasn't Khevan

[BestLefty UK]

Where abouts? Kuala Lumpur

[robertg06]

Uhh 2000-2003. It's just cos I know a boy in Malaysia who's sponsored by Babolat and he's my age so I thought it might be him. I lived in KL

[SaunderS]

You guys are talking about the Golding brothers? I saw Oliver Golding on TV, on some 'Child Stars' programme a while back. He always gets really angry and swears on court.

[robertg06]

As far as I know, Oliver Golding isn't actually Myles Golding's brother.

[BestLefty UK]

You guys are talking about the Golding brothers? I saw Oliver Golding on TV, on some 'Child Stars' programme a while back. He always gets really angry and swears on court.

Both of the Golding brothers are like that

[robertg06]

Yeah that's true Myles Golding goes CRAZY!

[BestLefty UK]

And they always starting talking about how there opponent is crap and that they should be beating them easily

[robertg06]

Yeah! He lost to this boy last year and he got so annoyed and said exactly that ha lol.

[Tofi]

yeah well i hit with josh ryan and he is one of the best junior squash players in the country. he was ranked 4th in squash before he fractured his back.

[robertg06]

*cough* Tennis forum *cough*

[Tofi]

yeah we did play tennis and he is one of the best tennis players in our year.

[Petekbladetour1]

Hey guys. its been a long time since ive been here. Any of you guys improved your rating? improved serves etc.

[Tofi]

yeah i improved my serve.

[SaunderS]

I aint improved my rating.

[robertg06]

I have an AG 300 now :)

Took it out for another knock, at first my forehands were off but I started to try and take the balls more in front and it made a big difference. Serve was immense today :)

[BestLefty UK]

I know... the Dunlop 300's are perfect for serving! I remember I actually aced my old coach like 4 times using an m-fil 300 and he was quite a tall fella. I was shocked, I was like "Holy crap! Did you touch that?"

[robertg06]

Yeah, well my serves were off the hook today :) I'm gonna use the 300 for Our Lady Of Muswell.

[BestLefty UK]

Yeah, well my serves were off the hook today :) I'm gonna use the 300 for Our Lady Of Muswell.

It a red worm-style dampener

[Teamtomo]

[Teamtomo]

[Teamtomo]

whats a noobish question i didnt ask a question!

Saunders was talking about his OWN question.

[Seblad2k8]

aw right yea silly me i just saw it below my post and asumed something. sorry saunders

[SaunderS]

is it any good?

[Tofi]

well i hear that they are better than your standerd VB.

[Teamtomo]

is it any good?

Yes, very. It does sap some power though

[Tofi]

my racket is coming on monday. hope it comes early as i have a match with my friend at 1pm that day.

[Teamtomo]

Tofi, what tension are you using??

[Tofi]

55 is the tension i'm using

[robertg06]

Hit with the AG 300 again, at first my depth was off like crazy, but then I had a 1 on 1 lesson and my coach gave me some pointers and I was on fire :)

[Teamtomo]

I had a session yesterday, played well. My serves were on fire aswell. :D

[robertg06]

Yeah, we worked on serves. I may be able to do quite well at Our Lady Of Muswell.

[Teamtomo]

Out of a basket of 50 balls, I hit 6 out. :):)

[robertg06]

Nice! I hit like one ball into the net in the whole session, but quite a few long.

[Teamtomo]

Ah well, its better long than short!

[robertg06]

Yeah, and my coach told me to use my elbow a bit more and my depth improved a lot.

[Tofi]

hey guys i found out about a string sponsorship program over here in the uk. Its a tennis tech string sponsorship and you dont have to be ranked they take you if you have a certain rating

[Teamtomo]

Do they give you there own string or ones from other brands??

[BestLefty UK]

hey guys i found out about a string sponsorship program over here in the uk. Its a tennis tech string sponsorship and you dont have to be ranked they take you if you have a certain rating

My brother had this after he came back from spain. I think they give you a certain percentage off all strings they stock. You'll need a reasonably high ranking aswell as a rating.

[Tofi]

well BLUK just answered that. i never tried but i might do in future. anyways are their strings any good??

[Seblad2k8]

can you give us a link?:)

[Tofi]

http://www.tennis-tech.co.uk/index.htm they dont sell much tennis stuff but they do sell blue gear which TW dont sell along with some of their own strings

[Seblad2k8]

thanks Tofi

[Tofi]

NP hope i don't get banned for this though.

[SaunderS]

no offence, but i'd rather pay for better strings.

[Tofi]

eh they could be good. blue gear is aparently the best spin oriented poly there is as it lasts and is soft and they sell it so thats why i went on that site.

[BestLefty UK]

no offence, but i'd rather pay for better strings.

Ask a load of people Maxim touch, Big Ace & Blue gear are top strings. I know some top players using it.

[SaunderS]

what are you guys county rankings?

[Tofi]

havent got ranked yet.

[SaunderS]

Tofi, all this thing about 'Sensation or Champions Choice' and now your going for Blue Gear. Have you tried these? or just because they look good?

EDIT: They wouldnt suit a k90 IMO

[Tofi]

i'm getting blue gear as they say the spin Potential lasts longer and that the string is soft. i'm only getting it because of those two anways i want to compare it to luxilon alu power rough which i'm getting on my racket.

[mozzer]

big ace rox.

[Teamtomo]

I'd rather go to Tn or Tw for strings.

[Tofi]

but they dont sell blue gear.

[Teamtomo]

Doesn't matter for me.

[SaunderS]

my stringer has my strings. Is this a good price? 20 quid for Pro Hurricane Tour full? And he strings it aswell.

[Teamtomo]

Yeah thats alright.

[mozzer]

Not that good. My coach does alu power/nxt for £15 or something similar.

[Tofi]

my stringer does PSGD for £18 and he strings it aswell

[Tofi]

hey guys i'm thinking about buying the pete sampras pack but i cant find any.... do you know were to get it from??

[mozzer]

They arent out yet.

[SaunderS]

they come out mid feb i think.

[Teamtomo]

my stringer does PSGD for £18 and he strings it aswell

Now thats not a good deal.

[Teamtomo]

Hey guys, uploading a video soon of a quick warmup.

[Teamtomo]

Tofi just read your "whats in your bag" post.

Why do you carry so much string with you, do you string your own racquets??

[Tofi]

i dont carry that much string...well not yet. i dont string my own rackets but i'm gonna start learning how to pretty soon. i carry 3 rackets with me and so i need afew packs of string. i know i didnt mention the third racket but i didn't as it isnt a proper racket its a slaz but it one of those cheap ones from sports direct. i got it last year when i started tennis. its head is a little bent and it needs to get restrung.

[robertg06]

Why would you restring a bad racket?

[SaunderS]

Yeah Tofi, i read your "Whats in your bag" post, and you've said all the things you havent got.

[SaunderS]

Tomo, when will the vid be up??

[SaunderS]

Why would you restring a bad racket?

Total waste of string.

[robertg06]

Total waste of time in general

Why dont you stop acting like an adult? Tofi is a little bit in a 'dream world'. OK, some posts may offend him, and i'm sorry for that Tofi, but i only wanna help him.

[mozzer]

Im not trying to act like an adult, im just not a little brat anymore. And yeah, your posts are really helpful to him.

[SaunderS]

if you actually read my post, i said ' some posts may offend him and im sorry for that'

[mozzer]

And also "but i only wanna help him"

[SaunderS]

Listen, you said a few weeks ago 'this thread is rubbish now'. So why are you reading it and posting in it?

And by the way, i aint a little brat.

[Tofi]

hey hey guys

1. Sauders you also carry 2 different catalogues in your bag so i dont see why i cant also i dont sound pro when saying that i carry a catalogue

2. Cheers mozzer for the defence there but i didnt want you to start a fight.

3. you guys seem to be against me alot of the time and that really isnt any help. if you want to help me treat me like your friend not like a little kid.

4. i played with the racket as it came in the post this morning. great racket and it never hurt my elbow at all. and alu power rough is pretty good it adds spin to my every shot.

5. Yes i'm gonna try out the tourna grip as i only have 3 rolls over pro over grip and my hands sweat alot when playing. pro OG's are really good but i also want to try out tourna grip cant i do that????

[mozzer]

Glad you like the racket tofi.
Saunders, just because i said its rubbish means i dont want to post in it? I post when its relevant and not all the crap the other people post here like "i have a lesson in 5 mins." No one gives a crap, you(everyone) post every time you have a lesson.

You know why people treat you like a little kid? Because at the beginning you went around thinking you were able to use a racket that we (and most knowledgable tennis fans/enthusiasts/players) thought you shouldn't be using. I agree it is not our place to criticise your choice and I am sorry for judging you but you must understand we were trying to help you make the correct decision because you seemed so narrow-minded and weren't gonna demo anything apart from a K90. Another reason I didn't peticularly shine to you was because you kept changing your mind about everything. You would ask our opinions on strings, bags etc. and then decide on something completely different. Then you would come back and ask some question about durability of sensation when you had already said (and put in your sig) that you were getting Champs Choice. You just made such a big deal out of buying a racket, there are plenty of useful threads/posts on all of your questions.
You say you want us to treat you like a friend not little kid, then go out and make decisions for yourself and stop asking us silly questions.

Anyway I apologise for all I said about you and the way I treated you but you must agree you were being a pain about it (you aren't such a pain anymore :D).

[Tofi]

yeah i agree i'm a little arrogent some times. your apology is accepted BLUK.

[SaunderS]

hey hey guys

1. Sauders you also carry 2 different catalogues in your bag so i dont see why i cant also i dont sound pro when saying that i carry a catalogue



I dont carry catalogues in my bag actually. And i agree wit bluk, you ask for our advice, we give it to you, and then you go with something else.

anyway, how was the racket overall? Serves, volleys etc...

[Tofi]

i liked it on serve . i felt like i had more control and power with it. volleys were great aswell. it defenitly had more control than my airo cloud but i need to get used to it a little more. it worked well on the sliced BH which is my main BH stroke.

Do you use 2hbh? And whens your tournament?

[Tofi]

i use a 1HBH look in my sig. I'm gonna wait a while before entering a tourny i hope to be entering some by the end of jan/early feb time.

[SaunderS]

didnt you have a set date for one in Jan?

[Tofi]

I was going to enter it but then i had second thaughts and felt like i need a little more training. it was on the 18 of jan and i just recieved my racket today and i still need a little more training to get used to it a little more.

[Tofi]

pro og's. my hands sweat like mad when playing and the pro og's are really good for absorbing that sweat. my hand was dry after playing a set with it. I'll post some pics tomorow as i cba right now.

Hey guys what are these stickers used for??

http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/oo10/Tofi_4000/DSC00031.jpg

[SaunderS]

Wow, that bag looks great, and the racket even better! BTW what grip size is it?

As for the stickers, IDK, probably for fun i guess.

[Tofi]

Grip 3. cheers. the bag is comfortable and its colour is great too.

That is absolute crap. Tournaments are some of the best practice you can get, take it from me, i'm pretty self taught and no matter how much skill you have you need to know matchplay skills that are only taught one way.

[Tofi]

i play practise matches alot of the time and thats what i need to do atm.

[SaunderS]

Play them as often as you can to get used to your racket quicker

[robertg06]

No, it isn't. When you go into a tournament you experience pressure that you don't in practice matches, it's a whole different atmosphere.

[SaunderS]

No, it isn't. When you go into a tournament you experience pressure that you don't in practice matches, it's a whole different atmosphere.

Definately agree. I used to play so well against my coach, but when i played someone I never knew and it was for my rating etc I didnt play my best at all. Pressure got to me. I just hit it down the middle because i was afraid of hitting it out.

[BestLefty UK]

i play practise matches alot of the time and thats what i need to do atm.

In terms of pressure and nerves practice matches aren't comparable to real matches. You need to be playing in some matchplays and low grade tournaments to get used to the nervousness and gain experience.
If you want my advice, play as many matches as possible even if you don't think your ready because when the time comes that your ready, extra experience will come in handy.

EDIT:
-Practice matches are useful for defining your preferred/most successful strategy for real matches

[robertg06]

Tennis is an extremely mental sport to be honest....And you can only learn this from experience.
