    Federerisms

    The designers of the Large Hadron Collider drew all of their inspiration from Roger Federer's racquet head speed. Roger Federer can return his own serves.

    lol i thought the crowd seemed a bit loud, considering the attendance.

    Why no Pinging sound?

    ..because the concussion of the ball is naturally louder than the string sound.

    The shot

    I am a huge Federer fan, but today's shot needs some perspective. Fast forward to 3:15, and see what shot Federer played on match point in another slam semi-final. Today at the USO, was a different story and definitely sensational! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6LeILBuPik

    How many of Djoko's semis deserve an asterisk?

    Fish angry at Mathieu

    Wow! I am no Mardy Fish fan, but I am really surprised to see the hate on him for what... cussing? The guy doesn't win that much so I am sure every lead and victory means a lot for him Paul was trying to take the win through some underhanded gamesmanship. What's worse bad vocabulary or poor...

    World Tour Finals: Different surfaces?

    I think it would be great if the ATP World Tour Finals was a multi-surface or variable surface event. (Maybe it used to be, I don't know much about tennis going back 8 years or so.) I think the logistics of playing one tournament with different surfaces would seem to be fairly impossible...

    G.O.A.T Discussion: The End

    You make a pretty good point here. I think if Federer were to also pocket another slam, he would really be able to play more freely. At that point he would have the career slam, and the most slams. The only thing I could think of that would be able to create a lot of pressure for him at that...

    federers racquet tension

    Just for other the readers, ace nelis is talking in Kilograms not pounds. This is what I have heard also. Should be about 48-52 pounds depending on surface and weather I think.

    Rogers new couch ?

    Willy Wonka makes couches? If you have the audacity to poke fun at someone else's misspelling, you should at least triple check your own!

    Any live streams of the Fed Nadal final?

    For those who are curious about tennis tv.com they SUCK! I wasted money paying for the tournament pass for this and the video will not play right. No matter what band width I select the video is 2+ games behind the sound and still plays in slo motion. The audio is fine but for the amount of...

    Cheaters (heros) vs. Honest Players (villains)

    I think Drak is talking about the people who claim points on what other people would consider technicalities. For Example: When opponents catch long serves before they bounce. Or when opponents catch balls out of the air and declare that it was sailing long. When your netman...

    Anybody an expert in traffic tickets?? (California)

    You should really check with what is going on with that ticket. I am not a lawyer, but I thought a headlight related ticket was a "fix it" ticket. The traffic school and all of that is usually for speeding violations etc. Perhaps you got a speeding ticket at the same time? If it is just a fix it...

    Gassed After Three Games

    I would suggest 2 things: 1. Play more singles 2. Try interval training, see the threads in the Health and Fitness sub-forum. I think interval training will work the fastest, and also more closely simulates tennis. P.S. I am not a health/fitness type guy. Those are just my opinions/...

    Help me with a research paper. "Is torture acceptable?"

    I am just looking to get a very "in general" public perception. Very reactionary on the concept of "Torture". Nothing is right or wrong as far as this thread is concerned. This part of my research paper is not the meat of any substantial argument.

    Help me with a research paper. "Is torture acceptable?"

    Don't worry about parameters. This isn't some doctoral thesis or anything. It is a bullsh!t 101 english class. Please feel free to use any perspective you want. I know this is a tennis forum, but it is the easiest way to poll tens of people (LOL). This isn't rocket science just click, like I...

    Help me with a research paper. "Is torture acceptable?"

    I am writing a research paper on torture and I would like to poll some of you guys. Is torture acceptable? I will not add qualifiers to that question, you can do that on your own and then voice your opinion(s). I won't be carrying on a discussion on the matter, I just want some numbers...

    Make it Stop or change it.

    You should be smart enough to realize that smart packaging always sells better than an equal and sometimes even less expensive product. Stupid things like flashy signs etc. may not add much to the current audience, but could be responsible for bringing in a new one. Anything that gets...

    Make it Stop or change it.

    the US Open used to put up the speed of almost every serve, I liked that. I think tournaments should show the viewers what speeds some of the balls are clocked at more often. I know that every once in a while they will announce that player X hit a **mph winner etc. that is good but I would like...

    A question about the TW Retail Store.

    Hey T-Dub, I live a couple of hours to the south of you guys, and I am thinking of coming up to SLO for a visit. The hitch is, money is tight. I wanted to know if you guys have stuff on sale in the store that isn't on the website. Do you have older styles of Nike apparel in particular? A...

    String Colors To Avoid

    I feel that Gamma TNT2 plays differently when you compare the natural version to the black version. I cannot say which is better though. I don't remember thinking either was inferior, just a bit different. I thought the black was stretchier, and had more of a trampoline type of effect. I had...

    That one guy

    I'm a 3.5 player and took my 4.0 friend to three sets last night. Then I go on court today for my league match playing no.2 singles and lose 6-0, 6-3. The guy wasn't bad, and I am not saying I should have won, but it should have at least been more competitive. I was warmed up well and served...

    5th Grand Slam

    Isn't Ion Tiriac (sp.) working on that? I think the new Madrid 1000 is a ATP/WTA clay event. Still only one week though, I think.
