    Bernard "Jr. GOAT" Tomic is playing!

    When it showed him on TV for about 5 minutes (practicing I think) it looked like his shots were about medium paced. He hit 15 winners in his round 2 match.

    Bernard "Jr. GOAT" Tomic is playing!

    Tomic takes the second set to take the match to a third. Only one point on first serve lost in 2nd set. Impressive.

    Nadal vs Gonzalez

    I voted Gonzalez in 4. He is playing quite amazing a the moment but I don't think he will be able to beat Nadal in straight sets.

    What's a good racket for a baseliner?????

    If you don't suffer any arm problems the Pure Storm is a good racquet for a baseliner. It isn't very manuverable which makes it play not so well at the net. It has great control and is good on groundstrokes and slices. The racquet does have quite a small headsize though. Most of this is what...

    Wrist, Arm and Shoulder Pain

    I began using a new racquet about a month ago and after about two weeks I began to experience some wrist and arm pain. I am using the right sized grip. For my forehand I use a halfway between eastern and semi-western grip and for my backhand I use a continental grip so my wrist pain probably...

    Good String for Pure Storm?

    Am curently using the Pure Storm. Was wondering what a good string would be for the racquet. I'm looking for a string that's easy on the arm, lasts atleast a month, that isn't too expensive and that has good control. I am a hard hitting baseliner and want a good serve. Please post your suggestions.

    It's hard being a Philippoussis fan...sigh...

    He won't be able to make an Australian Open appearance because his knee injury is gonna keep him out of the game for 6-8 weeks minimum.

    How good are your coaches or club pros?

    My coach was about NTRP 5.5-6.0 at the highest when he played. He did some permanent injury to his shoulder or elbow or something so he can't play at that level anymore.

    Becoming a professional player?

    Even if you do start at the age of 13 and are a 3.5 NTRP rating a year later there is absolutely no reason to give up trying to turn into a pro no matter what these guys say. Part of the road into becoming a great tennis player is confidence and believing it will happen. I started tennis when I...
