Just crazy. I don't know if they think their audience only watches tennis to see girls in short skirts or something. I just don't get it. Has nothing to do with American bias because we aren't talking about the Williams sisters - we are talking about covering women's matches with players the...

Not sure if this was posted elsewhere - but I thought I put it put there. 1979 Seiko World Tennis. Really nice stuff. Can really see the level of play -- spin and pace of shot unlike a lot of older vids.

Not sure is this had been posted before but I thought it might be of interest to some here. From spring 75 as he is working on his serve and volley. And for those of you who think guys didn't hit the ball decently hard back then -- this is a nice court level view of Borg practicing. He starts...

Now this is where the camera should be. Actually framed for the aspect 16x9 aspect ratio - gets you close to the action and you can see the spin etc. This is where the best seats in the house always are. Lets have the TV audience be there too.

Home of TW I know. Just looking for some locals - or anyone visiting who's up for a good hit. I'm now splitting my time between the Los Angeles area and SLO and while I have tons of players in LA but been a while since I played in SLO so need to find some good ones up there. Feel free to...

Connors gettin' a little wall time at IW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmWge9DFN7Y

As much fun as it is to watch a live match over PMac and Brad's shoulders -- here's a F@#@ing thought -- show the GD match!!!! In what other sport would this happen? I know we can watch it online -- but seriously? You are going to waste an hour talking about three day old news and run...

Posted this video in the Former Pro section a few days agol - but thought this would be interesting for the gear sections as well. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiEtlb7aWKQ

Just a nice relaxed candid on court interview with John and some people before a little hit I stumbled across. Talks about his game, racquet, strings, grips etc... Thought it might be interesting to some. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiEtlb7aWKQ

***I posted this in the Former Pro section - but thought it might be of interest to people here as well*** Had a very fun day yesterday hitting with Mats. He was in my hometown area town doing his Wilander on Wheels tour and I happened to be in the area so I decided to swing by. I did the...

Had a very fun day yesterday hitting with Mats. He was in my hometown area town doing his Wilander on Wheels tour and I happened to be in the area so I decided to swing by. I did the clinic and then hit with Mats and his partner/pro Cameron (who's a great guy and hits a real nice ball) and had...

A true pleasure to deal with.

Just in case anyone was interested.... Ferreria beats Safin 7-6, 6-4

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8453744.stm Should make for an interesting AO.

"This is what all the hoopla is about? Hell anyone can lose playing on speed or coke. Real men win grand slams on it." "No kidding. Try directing De Niro and Minnelli in an f-ing musical coked out of your mind and still end up with career. Now that takes a real man." "Damn straight...

Just checking the new site design and see they are listed in the above text in the TW Leather Grip section but there isn't any icon or way to order the 25mm x 1.3mm size below. Where'd they go? Just an oversight on the design or you guys not making them anymore? If they are out, when do you...

They are talking in studio about how they aren't going to be forced to have any "talk feasts" during rain delays now due to the new roof. Yeah...meanwhile they are talking in studio for half an hour while live matches are going on during a beautiful day. Who tunes in to see actual tennis being...

Unless rabid Fed fans start wearing them for good luck or something... Just as well. I hated that shirt. I was just talking earlier this week with someone in the Nadal camp about his attire this year and how horrible it's been and how they are really need to change the look and they agreed...

What a surprise...TTC is showing the WTA match instead of this. I'm sure Szavay vs Cibulkova has a much bigger fan base and they have to keep the huge amount of fans of those two happy, so I understand... I mean really? Come on. This is getting to be really annoying!!!!These are barely...

I'm really trying to figure out the choices that both ESPN and TTC are making during this event. I kept thinking that is was just the usual Williams/American bias at work - but quite a few times that doesn't explain the matches being shown. Example - right now Stosur/Dementieva are being shown...

Everyone keeps talking about how fast the ball moved at the "high" elevation of Madrid and what terrible placement of the tourney right before the FO etc... Well Madrid is only like 2000 or so feet. That's not very high at all. That's Las Vegas elevation if that. Not really a factor at...

Just in case no one posted about it. The Wimbledon thing with the foursome playing is on TTC today (Sunday) 4pm PST. http://www.tennis.com/news/news.aspx?id=173664

Just wondering since once again in Madrid (as was the case indoors) they have the "safety netting" up like the tennis players are hitting foul balls or something. Same thing in the rest of the European indoor season - Paris etc. I meant to throw this out there earlier in the week when I first...

Going to be hard to adjust to the FSN coverage after how well done this weekend's coverage was. And as far as I can tell - I have FSN HD and it's not going to be on there - just SD. Too bad we can't have this weekends feeds all week long.

Just wanted to let everyone know... http://www.championsseriestennis.com/nls/agassi/3_9_09.htm Agassi, Sampras, McEnroe, Rafter, Courier, Ivanisevic...not too shabby of a lineup.

I mean after 5+hours of serious hard hitting man style tennis - and his hair is still perfect. Now that is an ad for hair gel!!!!

ESPN is doing it again. They are choosing to show a women's match between a Serb and Japanese player over showing the top ranked American male... So much for the American thing. It's seems like there is a very real sex bias going on here. Don't they know that The L Word is replaying on...

Madrid has terrible camera coverage - the most boring and energy sapping views possible. The wide shot is from almost directly above and from so far away it looks like you're watching Pong. And the camera work is just as bad at pretty much every other televised event. I know they have to work...

You could really tell how happy he was to be back out there and how much he loves the game - and he's still got a mean return. Here are a few quick snaps. Fun event. I'll post some vids later...

I didn't know if this had been posted out here in one of the infinite threads about what Pete's using, etc...But I thought some might find it interesting. From the Outback Champions Series - To Sampras: Q. Are you planning on staying with your old Wilson 85 or using a different...
