you are only allowed to use the big bubba in high school tennis

hitting the net or faulting is not a result of being unlucky. you f-ed up. you lost. theres no need to be embarassed or pissed just because you lost. sounds like your mental game needs some work.

i'll give him 175-180 at most. safin is definitely 220

it was a good read. people are so afraid of satire in this country. it brings in a good point that chang did reinforce stereotypes about asians. everyone i've talked to seems to think chang is 5'6" or something. 5'9" is really not that small. ferrer is around that height isn't he? but people...

many of you are neglecting what players do after their serve. Sampras did have amazing control of his serve, but it was his net rush and volleying that completed his weapon. Roddick, on the other hand, does not take advantage of his serve as well. he seems to wait for an ace, unreturnable, or...

both nadal and federer are much better than sampras ever was. they both have much more consistent results. fed has almost equaled sampras' accomplishments in half the time. when sampras held number 1 all those years he just barely held on and only averaged 1 or 2 majors a year. i wonder how...

it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning. nadal and everyone witnessing were just lucky to see him play federer in the final.

this should be an interesting thread. I was thinking about going to NY to play a tournament or two next month since there aren't too many in this area maybe we'll meet up to hit sometime. did you ever end up playing norman?

gut in the mains burn out so much quicker than the other way around. it will play a lot better in the mains but try it in the cross and see if that isn't too harsh.

wilson strings are overpriced. i've tried laserfibre super natural which was an amazing string, but it broke in a couple hours. way too expensive. i'm going to stick with midranged tecnifibre.

most likely nadal in 4. wishful thinking that fed takes it but i'd also like to see nadal continue his run at the french.

psgd ftw...

i notice a difference when i use multifeel or biphase in the cross as opposed to psdg. lately i've been using that or the crappy gamma that came free with my machine in the cross with luxilon. its weaker but the lux is doing the spin work anyway. in the mains in a hybrid multi breaks down...

i've been just stringing for my friends and for my college team but i'm going to start stringing for more people. i'm trying to decide what strings to stock up on and if anyone has advice and opinions i'd greatly appreciate it. I'll be mostly stringing for the local league and whoever they...

why can't people give nadal credit for being probably mentally strongest on tour? its not easy beating anyone. on clay, being broken and breaking back is much more likely.

that's pretty funny. the DS looks fake though. but i can understand if he doesn't want to be involved in a sketch show.

oakleys, ala arnaud clement or tipsarevic. i got the m frames that clement uses. it really makes the ball stand out and you can look right at the sun and serve. i know some people are uncomfortable or feel strange with shades but its just something you have to get used to.

federer has done really well at this tournament. dispatched his opponents fairly quickly. hopefully this is the start of him regaining form. the djoker and nadal match could really go either way. and while its hard to imagine anyone beating nadal and fed, djokovic isn't just anyone. to me he's...

he hasn't been going for winners as quickly as he used to. rallies are way too long even on hardcourt.

maybe she wants to actually live life besides play tennis and work out every day for the rest of her young life?

luxilon dies very quickly. theres no way around it. its a very expensive string to play with.

they are about the same. the biphase feels a little better with a little more pop but both are like butter. as a big fan of tecnifibre strings my advice is to check out a very underrated and never talked about string called multifeel also from tecnifibre. its a lot cheaper than either nrg or...

very careless, do not string for other people.

apparently people like to say "synthetic gut" to mean "synthetic monofilament". multifilament strings are not natural gut either so they are actually "synthetic multifilament". the op may or may not have just been asking in general what the softest, non-natural strings are as opposed to the...

agassi won the USO as an unseeded player. i've always saw hewitt as a stronger, faster chang and the way he plays is prone to burning out.

this is quite a good match. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym-AlrJ2uHE

if he can win hamburg and RG he'll have the confidence to own the rest of the year.

it would actually be an upset to not see djoker get to a semi at a major so he'll likely defend his points, while nadal has lost some points already and really needs to win hamburg. after that, FO and wimbledon is obviously where nadal's points are.

he has been pretty slow with his footwork this year so far.

macenrow uses extreme incontinence. the eastern, western, etc. original categories are very general. obviously everyone holds the racquet differently and partially contributing to their different swing patterns. to make this more complicated, i'll throw in that people hold the racquet with...
