    Getting Back Into Things

    OK, so I'm super tired of being out of shape and reminiscing about how in shape I used to look/be, and I've been thinking about it enough recently that I'm trying to get back into shape. Also, I realized I bloody miss tennis, and want to start playing again. Problem is, barring a few random...

    How League of Legends Disproves Weak Era Theory

    (Skip to tl;dr in bold if you don't feel like reading.) I don't know how many of you all follow eSports in general, much less League of Legends in particular. But when I was watching NA LCS (the North American professional circuit) yesterday, I realized that the current professional scene...

    Nishikori playing tennis with a bokken

    So, I done goofed, so instead of doing a witty-ish title...:oops::oops::oops: Anyway, Nishikori in an ad playing tennis with a bokken. Pretty cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNT9cyhp2dc Title translates to "New York/Samurai Cup Noodle CM"

    Can we all just worship Nishikori for a bit?

    So that we don't have to find out first hand how good he is with a bokken? :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNT9cyhp2dc (Title says: "New York/Samurai Cup Noodle CM")

    A non-troll thread

    Every year, there will inevitably be deaths--heroes and villains, and average people, too. This thread is for a certain group of the heroes who died this past year: journalists. Newsweek has published a list of some of the journalists whose lives were taken this past year. I cannot speak...

    Mods: Questions on definitions

    O! All ye mighty and benevolent Mods, Who art responsible for this Forum's Creation and Who, by their Great Mercy, grant us humble Posters the Grace by which we can on this Forum post, I have some clarifying questions: 1) How is "political discussion" defined? It was noted exactly 12...

    What've I missed?

    Yo, so I've been away from forums since, according to TTW, 31 August at about (exactly?) 06:58 Post-Meridian. While I'm pretty sure no one here wants another troll (with the exceptions of my only rivals in post count--sureshs, Sentinel, and Breakpoint), I have to say I'm curious as to what's...

    Is the Apocalypse Nigh?

    Is The Donald finally going to win a match? Is an American finally going to beat a Spaniard on clay? Will we finally have a Young GOAT?

    Best Pie Recipe

    All these math threads took so much energy, and I got hungry. So, I decided to invest my energy to look for the best recipe to make pie. And I think I discovered it. Because we know that pi*e=pie, to get the most pure pie, we simply need to find a perfect circle, divide the circle by its...

    Nishikori to win RG 2014

    Because of his impressive performance against Fed today, I'm calling it now, before all the other bandwagoners get on board with this brilliant prediction. This guy will be the new and unique face of tennis (alongside Dimitrov).

    Congratulations, Sureshs!

    A mere 24 posts ago, sureshs has achieved the dream of all TTW posters: Bionic-hood. Now, while it might be a longshot to say he will definitely pass Go--I mean, Breakpoint's--post count, the weight of this achievement is well worth a thread. And so I say unto thee, CONGRATS!!!!!!!

    Worst Patrice Wilson Song?

    Since TTW is currently on a roll with music, and since DP cruelly reminded me Patrice Wilson exists (the scumbag :evil:*), and since Patrice Wilson did just release a new song for another 10-year-old kid, I thought it would be appropriate to figure out, for sure, which of Patrice Wilson's songs...

    Spoiler BB codes?

    Is it possible that we could get spoiler BB codes? That is, a BB code that allows one to hide text or images, but not redirect outside the forum or the post. For example, if I typed , "this" would be hidden unless a button corresponding to that same spoiler was pressed. There are, I think...

    How to Troll Effectively

    I'm gravely concerned. While we normally have such a strong presence of forum trolls, Talk Tennis Warehouse is now in a grave era. The field is weak, incapable of even the slightest bit of proper trolling. Given that the current forum era possesses such a weak field, I feel it is my...

    For all Fed Fans:

    I finally figured out why Rafa fans love Nadal. :) bzfd.it/1o10IJr

    What do you dislike about Rofael Fedal?

    Given the two threads discussing what we dislike about Rafa and Fed, I think it's not fair to exclude what we dislike about both of them. I dislike the fact that Fedal has two forehands. It confuses me so much when he decides to run around one forehand to hit another.

    How fast was Henin?

    Watching Henin's matches against Sharapova, I'm noticing that Henin seems ridiculously fast. How fast was she in her prime? Was she really that quick, or am I imagining it?

    For Rafa Lovers/Fed Haters ONLY

    So, being a fan of Fed, I guess I'm just naturally confused by Nadal fans' arguments about the GOAT. So, just a question for y'all: is there such thing as a GOAT?

    Video of Strokes--Advice?

    So, I'm just getting back into tennis after about 6 months (I'll try to keep it up more during the rest of the school year, but I don't know if I'll be able to), and am planning to record my strokes when I play with friends tomorrow, and upload video on here. What is the best angle for ground...

    Nadal-Borg Channel Match

    Since there are all these threads about which all time greats would be able to beat Nadal, I thought I would throw another into the mix: Bjorn Borg. To make things fair, let's imagine they are playing in the 90s, with 90s equipment, ball, surfaces and all that, so it's about half-way between...

    Which Diehard Fanboy/Fangirl Group is More Humorous to Watch Right Now?

    Are the Nadal or Federer fanboys/fangirls more humorous to watch right now? Which group has the more trollish excuses? Which one is obviously more sour? Which demographic is putting on a better show? In the one corner are the Fedfans, with brilliant theories like: Rafa wasn't injured...

    The *Real* Way Federer can Beat Nadal

    After reading through all the recent threads on strategies Federer can use to defeat Nadal, and realizing how simple they all are to implement, I see now that Federer's problem really isn't that he can't win three sets against Nadal. No, if he wants to really dominate the match, he has to go...

    Getting Back Into Shape?

    Any tips on how to get back into shape? I used to do 90-120 one-leg crunches a night, plus planks and leg raises. I was never in super-good shape, but I wasn't ever overweight or super-weak or anything like that. Last night, though, I raced a friend, and could barely last a minute, and I was...

    Was Rafa Trolling?

    Was Rafa trolling against Nishikori and Dimitrov? Because I can't think of any other reason his performance increased so dramatically when he went up against Fed. Sure, Dimitrov might be a tough match-up for Nadal and all that, but Nadal was playing downright awful, too (DFing away service...

    Why Nadal Has Trouble with Dimitrov

    He's not used to playing a Federer with balls.

    Should Tennis Players Be Paid Per-Hour?

    After countless arguments on the equality about male and female prize money earnings,* I think I have discovered a solution: tennis should pay individuals based on court time. Now, I know, I know. You might be hesitant about this plan. But think of it's benefits. 1. Players would no longer...
