I stumbled upon this video of Wawa's 70 backhand winners. http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=channel%3A52f5b31c-0-2e7e-9955-20cf301cc1b6&feature=iv&src_vid=EvO4rSaSTEU&v=qO6t8nkZ97Q Pummeling Hewitt, Federer, Djokovic, Murray, Almagro and others. Truly a sight to behold

Agassi moonballing against Edberg to keep him pinned behind the baseline. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYaFLDkQC7E Never thought I would live long enough to see a match of Agassi moonballing. If anything, it was a rather good tactic. In the end, Edberg won in 4.

September 5th. One year older, missed ten times more. A star in life, a legend in death. "Lover of life, singer of songs". This is my humble tribute. Took 141 Andreses to do you justice yet I still came up short. This is the least I can do, darling. On your 66th birthday, this is my gift...

Hey guys. I don't know why I didn't post this here earlier. I'm guessing since it's a tennis forums, maybe people wouldn't care. I recorded my own version of Bohemian Rhapsody months ago. The middle, operatic part, that is. It was such a fun ride, with all the overdubs. It ends up being lead...

Stumbled upon this video, and man I gotta admit I'm impressed. I know it's a highlights video, but since most of those are from the same match, he must be doing it 5x, 6x, 7 times a match. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBvesji9yOs&feature=related Impressive ROS ;)

With Roland Garros approaching, one cannot stop wondering and thinking about how difficult it is to break Borg's record. Maybe there IS a Borg curse, after all. He had the 5 consecutive Wimbys record: Fed tied those five, and when shooting for the 6th, BAM, Nadal wins. He had the 4...

30 mins ago Luis Alberto Spinetta passed away, considered the father of rock music in Latin America, after battling lung cancer at the age of 62. While 99% of you have never heard of him, he was huge and one of the most respected musicians and artists in an entire continent. He will be deeply...

As title say: When was the last time a slam final was played by two players outside the Top10? How high was Krajicek ranked when he won Wimby in 96?

I don't know if this was posted before, but I found this extremely interesting. Of course, as all stats on atp.com are a little unaccurate (I trust Moose's or krosero's more, for that matter), but it's still a very interesting read...

Against Fish at Cincy. I can't believe its been 3 weeks and I see no discussion on it except one or two fellow posters who saw it and mentioned it. It definitely needs his own thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQXM_Hd7UJY&feature=player_detailpage#t=217s Yes, Muzza can bring...

http://www.nba.com/shaqretires/?ls=iref:nbahpt1 Shaqtacular ride ends after 19 years There may have been greater centers, but none of those players had more fun or created more fun than Shaquille O'Neal, who retired after a brilliant 19-year career. I mean, yeah, he's old. But it's...

Today's semifinals feature the top 4 players. Unlike the last "Slams". I contend that whoever wins here is the real #1 and the GOAT. I have a feeling it won't be the guy with the elegant strokes. My humble tribute :)

Does anyone know what happened with Mathieu? Is he injured? Surgery? Retired?

Hey you guys Well, this is the thing. I was asked to record an album. More precisely, a Toto tribute album. Ten, twelve tracks, absolutely re-arranged. But I'm too big a Toto fan and I can't pick only 12 songs out of their entire discography. Any help? Some months ago, I recorded an...

We all know he had a bad car accident which wrecked his left leg, but I just found a vid of his recovery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uNB4tMl8P8&feature=related I'm sorry if this was posted before. It's worth posting it again :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-LqJNv1oCc&feature=related Serving at 1:46, he served a HUGE serve down the line. The gun clocked it at 234 kmh. It does look impressively fast, though. I had him serving at 138 mph (MS Canada 2007), so 140+ wasn't out of the question. Well, look at...

Looking up some info, I gathered a small list of the official surfaces used in 2008. The entire list ain't complete, but with your help, maybe we can do it. Grand Slams: Australian Open: Hardcourts (Plexicushion) Roland Garros: Red Clay Wimbledon: Grass U.S. Open: Hardcourts (Decoturf)...

http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/stats/day10/1204ms.html Karlovic served 42 aces in just three sets. He served 67 first serves and aced his opponent 42 times. He served at 78%... How can you beat a guy serving like that??? This is just insane!!
