I think the issue is whether the schools want to shell out the huge money to hire star coaches. For example, Beamer makes less than Schiano at Rutgers. Most schools lose a lot of money to fund a...

So I'm graduating soon, leaving the ranks of college tennis and entering the world of USTA leagues. In all likelihood my job is going to be about 75% travel. Are their leagues/organizations that...

Disagree with OP. Murray is a breakthrough win away from the next level. If he beats one of these guys in the semis/finals, everything can change. only time will tell.

The fact that he made a scene today likely contributed substantially to pushing back the final to Monday. His actions, although some find offensive, did a great deal for the players.

Future of American Tennis (spoilers included)

I think (or maybe hope is a better word choice) that American Tennis could reach another golden era sometime in the next 5 years.

I expect Isner to get into the top 25 and stay there for some time. ...

I'd say roddick. Did more to change the game with that big serve. Won davis cup and one major, not to mention a plethora of top 10 finishes. Hewitt fell off the map towards the end of his career. ...

5-2 isn't a huge deficet, that's a two holds and one mini break. That's a far cry from loosing the match.

Of course you could also be down two mini breaks, in which case your opponent deserves to...

I mean you don't really see 4-5 point runs too often normally, usually both players hold serve and then one or two 'mini-breaks' decide the tie break.

I guess I feel that, generally if you make it...

I'm playing in my first USTA league.

I just have to say, this whole rotating every 4 points during a tie break is one of the STUPIDEST IDEAS IN ALL OF TENNIS.

It breaks the rhythm of the match. ...
