    Who's responsibility is it to call "double bounce"?

    Okay I think I got it now. You're all basically saying... if I play a guy who I believe hits a double bounce, he can potentially deny it and keeps the point even if I tell him that I clearly sees it? So everytime I see the guy hits a double bounce (especially a very close one) I should still...

    Who's responsibility is it to call "double bounce"?

    Thanks all (although the replies are kind of contradicting...), What if the other guy's not sure either.. for example both of us were standing wondering if that was a double bounce? (I'll edit my OP to include this)

    Who's responsibility is it to call "double bounce"?

    As titled. I know what I am suppose to do when it comes to line calls but I'm confused when it comes to the situation where the ball might've bounced twice. If it happened to my opponent and I SAW it, should I call it? What if I'm the one hitting the ball back and I'm truly NOT SURE if...

    2hbh On The Run

    Coaches, or people who've received extensive quality coaching... What is the proper way to prepare to hit a 2hbh ON THE RUN? For example, with forehand, as soon as I realize I'm getting a forehand I switch to my fh grip as I turn my shoulders; I have my racquet back and the non hitting...

    What does mean when a tournament is "open"

    The last three local tournaments that I've been to, the seeds almost always make it to the QFs. If you're seeded in the open division that means you're very, very good. At where I live, the winner the open division of the biggest tournament also gets a wc to play the qualifying of the local...

    Short guys who play tennis?

    IMO, taller = more bulk. More bulk means it'd take a little more energy and time to start running/sprinting and harder to stop running/change direction. When I first started playing tennis I was skinny and weak but I can run down pretty much every single balls. Now tennis had made me...

    Mixed Doubles Etiquette?

    I competition, mixed doubles etiquette is same as doubles etiquette, imo. Like Raidon said, I've yet to meet a woman who actually got mad/upset when a guy's hitting hard at her during a mixed doubles match. I have, however, met a mixed COUPLE, who got mad/upset after a match after they got...

    Gasquet // forum question?

    The decision will be made on the 11th (of July). I hope hitting rock bottom will somehow make Gasquet turn his career around.. or provide him with a different mentality. BUT HE HAS TO GET BACK ON THE TOUR FIRST!! Two year ban is too long!! If he got banned for two years he's not coming...

    Do you play tennis with your spouse/SO?

    Also, tennis really is a difficult sport. Don't take a date out to play tennis if he/she is just a "casual" player. Any 3.0+ player can easily double bagel a noob. I mean you can just casually hit with your date.. but you'll obviously be the better player. You can play a few games and let...

    Do you play tennis with your spouse/SO?

    I don't know about anyone else but I would not date another tennis player. Just think about it... if we both play tennis and both love tennis, we'd be competitive (whether we like it or not). Plus there will always be a better player, either him or me. I wouldn't like it if I l lose to him...

    Using up short pieces of strings

    I have 2 10-feet string and I kind of want to use them up, 10 + 10 = 20, enough for the main or cross (let's just say I'm very frugal). Is there a good way to do that?

    Shrink sleeves sold on TW

    Has anyone bought and installed a heat shrink sleeve? Was it easy to do? Please share your comment/opinion/feedback. I would most likely to know, besides the increase in size, if it will change the "feel" of the racquet handle (shape of the handle, feel of the bevels...etc)

    Inconsistency in Djokovic's racquet and his ACTUAL racquet

    So TW listed Youtek Speed Pro as Djokovic's signature racquet. But isn't that racquet's string pattern 16/19? I saw a recent photo of Djokovic at Wimbledon (3rd round match?) I counted the strings... the racquet he's holding has 18/20 string pattern. See below (if the image shows): I...
