    Things I learned watching Break Point

    i watched the 1st episode (i think) about Kyrgios, and i dislike him even more; although i did think the body bump/high 5, poking fun of the brian bros was funny. I didnt like the editing style, felt like i was watching an MTV music video…didnt mearn much i didnt nnow already about players on...

    How will Maria Sharapova be received by the fans upon her return?

    I don't get the appeal of Maria Sharapova (other than she is attractive?!?) It's not even the suspension that annoys me the most... She's not particularly fun to watch, she grunts, not very articulate, drab off-court personality, she fist pumps when her opponents make mistakes, and she played...

    Torn between the Old vs New

    I wouldn't be torn...go OLD! nothing is better than a classic stick IMO. I might say otherwise if you were 18, but at your age (don't take offense, I'm right there with you man...) Nothing classier than showing up to the courts w/ old sticks...also, racquets looked way better back in the days...

    I've thrown in the towel...turned on TC saw 2 petite blondes about to start a match, and thought to myself: here we go, a grunter...match starts, BOTH of 'em grunting (even on soft controlled sliced backhands...) I was so annoyed, I turned off the TV. I just can't do it anymore...

    pronouncing Muguruza with a ceceo? TC commentators...porque?

    just sounds silly when they say MuguruTHa...I understand that it's good form to pronounce people's name in their "native language"...but the TH sound for a "z" is used mostly in Northern Spain (and no other spanish speaking country). The name is Basque in origin, and pronounced as "s" in the...

    backpack for cycling...

    hello, I like to cycle to the tennis courts, but it seems like all of the tennis bags are designed with the section that holds the racquet between sits right on my back. This is impracticle, especially when you wear a helmet, because it you lift your head straight or back, the head hits the...

    best backpack for bicycle riding

    I like to ride my bike to the courts, and most tennis back that are marketed have the racquet compartment lying flat against my back...the problem is when you have a helmet on, it restricts my head movement where I can't tilt my head back to look at the road...it seems like it would be best to...
