well it was based on religion and sort of nationality. Europe was Christian...so it was the "Europeans vs, the Arabs". Nevertheless good point. as far as a 19th century phenom...I disagree. Rome has existed for thousand of years. Egypt as well...until of course arabs inavded and...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ OK...good point. I will.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1. No I am saying that Russia only beat Germany because of its frozen wasteland. Zverev suggested that it was due to Russias huge military superiority **** as far as history from movies..are you actually trying to say that Stalinist Russia...

compared to Siberia...thats saving her life in my book. Thats a poor analogy. parents and natinality are very different things. The problem with Europe is its intense feeling of nationality based on "blood". its the reason for the crusades and all the persecution in Europe over thousand...

Ahhh...great question. I have read a lot of books on this and I am completely fascinated by it. Here is a brief explanation of a very complex scenario. During Communism the KGB basically ruled Russia. They had all the money and the power. Ever wonder why Communism fell? It fell for...

No not at all...what I am saying is that when comparing Sharapova's life to what it is in the USA to what it would have been had she stayed in Siberia it sort of is saving her life. Don't you think that common decency says that she owes a little loyalty to the country that afforded her such a...

Russia.

No its a common ploy by small companys. In fact in this case it worked,......I bought one!! And I'm not happy about it...although I will say that I can simply return it. In any event......I am just saying that you don't sound genuine. Do you work for Vantage?

I don't know...maybe thats the way people are raised in Europe. In this country we are taught that if someone saves your life then you kind of owe them some loyalty back.

You guys lost millions of people in WW II. More than anyone. It was a blood bath. In fact a few years back there was this awesome movie about a Russian soldier. I think it was called "storm the gates" or something. it was a true story about this incredible Russian sharpshooter during WW...

HUH? that site leads no where.

Funny.....but take a look at this website...do you really think that I need to campaign for Babolat. I think they are doing a pretty good job of that themselves. Thats like saying Breakpoint is trying campaign for Wilson! On the other hand almost no one has heard of Vantage compared to...

what do you guys think of that smart grip?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ yeah...I have noticed that for such a small company Vantage is constantly being brought up. People cannot be having these many questions.

Hey Chris...still think I lost huh? Your boys went down hard....so why did you close the string????

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Your answers are wrong...and not even worth getting into. For example are you really arguing that Russia did not beat Napoleon and Germany only because of the huge frozen wasteland? Do you know how many Russians were slaughtered in WW II?? As...

This was really hard to find. Check out Borg's results on the Nuveen tour from 1998 (not that it means anything at all...but fun to look at). http://web.archive.org/web/19980613032345/www.nuveentour.com/results.htm

Prior to the one-setter in Denver, Wilander had played just one match against his hero--not counting three exhibitions last year. "For me, it's privilege to step onto the court with him," Wilander said after beating Borg 6-4. "He's Mister Borg. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be standing...

Wilanders game really eveolved and he turned into an all courterby 1988: 15. Mats Wilander Photo By Clive Brunskill/Getty Images Bjorn Borg was a hard act to follow. Yet Mats Wilander, a middleweight groundstroker with fierce powers of concentration, accomplished something that even Borg...

MATS WILANDER There were two distinct parts of Mats Wilander’s career. From 1982 to 1988, he worked tirelessly to make himself into a world No. 1 player; during the 1990s, he worked tirelessly to make himself into a respectable journeyman. Wilander finally succeeded in his first goal in 1988...

Here what Wilander thinks about Becker, Lendl and the increased power game: How would you rate your opponents like McEnroe, Lendl, Edberg and Becker? Who was the toughest to play with? Sundar, USA "I think Boris Becker was. Ivan Lendl was the best player I ever played. He was the first...

I would listen to Yandell. He is a genius. Do you know him from this board or from his books? I am a HUGE fan!

Its a really cool device. It was used at the Bolleteri academy to teach grips. If you use it then you will never slip from a semi west to an eastern again . It forces you to hold the racquet properly. Its not easy to get used to but once you do its truly awesome. Most Pro's also...

Hmmmm....your right. That was an olive branch and I failed to grab it and/or see it. I'll grab it now if you let me. Peace out bro .(70's translation= Peace man).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sampras' grip is what i like to refer to as a "soft eastern". It was closer to a continental but still definitely an eastern. If you really want to know for sure get the power V grip. You will never have a doubt again: www.tennisgeometrics.com

I'm touched. However you and the old fart brigade have yet to answer the question: Wilander played during an era of Becker, Edberg, Cash, a matured Mcenroe....do you really think that Borg would have won 5 wimbledons with those guys on the tour??? Are there differences between Borg and...

I don't believe it....I agree with five o
