Greetings ;)

The fake poach is greatly under-utilized in recreational doubles. I think it's a huge mistake to stand still at the net like a statue, which is what most people do. IMO a good doubles player will...

I disagree with the posters who are saying you can't infer much from online results. IMO you can get a pretty good idea of who you're up against just by looking at their 12 month tournament results...

I would restring before the tournament, especially if you're going to be playing singles (more likely you'll break a string than in dubs). You don't want to bust those old strings while you're...

I'm more of a tournament player than a league guy, so I thought I'd give a different perspective. Here's my year so far:
USTA Tournaments:
Singles: 27
Doubles: 12
Mixed: 3
