Opinion of Robert Lansdorp: "MARIA SHARAPOVA FIRES JIMMY CONNORS What a surprise ???? Not to me, but if you listened to the commentators on T.V. like Pam Shriver, Cahill, Patrick Mc Enroe & Fernandez, we are all so surprised. Give me a break. I told you it was a disaster to happen. Any way, I...

Radwanska's biggest weapon is playing differently from others. It is a huge advantage. She is the smartest player on the tour. But to win a GS would be very very difficult to her. She had a real chance in London, and she missed it.

The better? For whom? For BOOM-BOOM players and their coaches who teach "just hit the ball and practice, man, practice" approach. I have heard the same opinion from some tennis coaches who can produce BOOM-BOOM players but have no idea how to develop creative and smart players. I guess, they...

Did you enjoy watching this final? I can repeat my opinion: the women’s final was terrible. It wasn’t the fault of Marion Bartoli, who played well and had a good game plan. But Sabine Lisicki was completely out of her play.

Actually, at last Wimbledon she had a real chance to win the major. It was unique situation when all three main competitors lost before the semifinals. Unfortunately Agnieszka lost to Sabine Lisicki. Then we watched the most horrible major's final for many years. I have been watching Agnieszka...

I agree with you to some extent. My point is no one in America is really interested in developing of top level players. There is a no system of developing high level players. No selection process. Prices are very high. There are a few really good coaches who have developed top players and most...

I just published an interesting interview about the Davis Cup's results and a situation with American tennis. Here are some excerpts: "...Both Querrey and Isner have probably come close to their potential. ... There are no Americans as talented as Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic, or Pete Sampras...

I have written a lot about an active rest and periodization. Active rest is a vital part of a training process. Serious players and coaches know that. Overtraining is a huge problem for good and talented junior players.

Remember how did Brazil players play in the second and third days? They looked much more energetic. They fought like real warriors. Americans just played. May be after the first day and two wins, Americans decided that they already won. May be they like sweets. I don't think that these...

He is 2 star. He does not play a lot of tournaments and concentrate on school. During high school matches he beats some 3 and 4 stars players. He trains with pretty strong players, and his level is good. He plays much better in high school competition than in individual tournaments.

GPA 4,2; three AP. Of course public school. Physics, engineering clubs; the best tennis school team.

When I write about 8 hours a week, I mean 8 hours a week on the tennis court and fitness with a good coach, plus tournaments, total is about 10-12 hours a week. But quality have to be over quantity. If a kid has talent and a good coach it is more than enough for good college level. The fact is...

If your kid is interested in Ivy University; he/she can play tennis 8 hours a week (it is absolutely enough) and increase quality of school time. My kid did this; he received SAT 2270 and 800 on subject. He will go to top 10, and he is pretty good in tennis.

I was disappointed watching the women’s final at Australia Open. It was too boring. Both players served like teens.Tennis world definitely needs fresh blood. Where are you new Henin and Graf? I miss those days when major’s final was a battle. Not like this dull one.

If a kid plays confirmed cheater who shouts "out" on all near base line balls on his side, your advice probably will not work. Hitting more winners means increasing more unforced errors. 1 and 2 contradict each other.
