The thing is, he's actually very analytical and has interesting things to say. TC or NBC should get him on and have him commentate. He's played all of these guys and Courier + Gilbert haven't. I'd love to see him and Gilbert go at it.

I've got inside info that he's training for a challenge match against Rod Laver. Check it out:

What does a guy like Vince do when the tennis career is over and the rap album never materialised?

He's a funny guy, I wish him the best.

So what are the chances Paris and Vince are hanging out? That "ty" is very poignant.

Why is he not playing in the Champions tour ??? I am sure he needs the money. I hope he isn't on Welfare.

Vince did win a tournament in ATP tour so that qualifies him for the champions tour automatically.

the age old dilemma of what an athelet should do after retiring at the age of 35.

Note: If you're one of the multitude of 4.0-5.0 players who can whup Lendl in a challenge match you can skip this post. However, if you're not...

A lot of you might look at that video and think, "Vince Spadea, former ATP touring pro, hitting on a wall at some schoolyard, all by himself. How sad."

I look at that video and see great footwork, tiny little steps, always moving, to get into position to hit those smooth, grooved strokes. I took that mental image of that footwork with me when I had a hit with a friend today, and the results were good. Thanks, Vince.

Love him or hate him, Spadea played with the big boys for many years, and deserves a little respect!

Tennis did not pass Vince Spadea By......Vince Spadea passed By Tennis

Vince Spadea does run after tennis ball........Tennis balls run away from Vince Spadea.

The hell with Rod Laver he is not worthy of Vince Spadea.

Vince should start commentating. He is a colorful personality so Im sure he'll be fun in the booth.

Anything has to be better then some of the commentators be have to listen to during the USO...

Agreed! I've been playing tennis, and hitting against walls, for over 40 years, and neither I, nor anyone I've ever seen, could keep the ball alternating b/t fh and bh continuously like that. It's not just his footwork, it's also the precision of his hitting - keeping the ball coming back to nearly the same spot over and over. That's impressive. It's obvious he's a World class player in that vid. I was just making light of Chopin's past comments that Spadea was better than a prime Laver.
