Honestly, for about 3/4 of the points, Murray was basically a passenger able to do little other than hope Dimi made an error. Dimi was playing some beautiful stuff.

Haven't posted in ages, but had to come back to read this thread as I watched the match last night. It basically confirmed what I have always thought about Dimi. He's a choker. He has all the shots to be a legit contender, but he doesn't have it where it counts. I also suspect Muzza will wish...

Thanks all!

Summer session is coming to an end I think, is there another summer session? Fall?? When does winter start? Thanks for any insight!

Hang on, Muzz won the toss?? LOL, wow. I had assumed he lost it and that would play in his mind the whole way through....now I see it was even worse than that.

Honestly, there was nothing Muzz could do. Nothing.

Other than Rafa losing in straights, no results would surprise me.

Damn, looks like he's playing some great tennis. Good luck to him!

Maybe there is a stream??

That is the single biggest issue with him that I've noticed. When it's on the line, he folds.

I took a loooong time at my match last week for change overs. I was in trouble. It was very hot (too hot for me at least). My opponent didn't say anything, thankfully. He may have been suffering too, but he was younger and fitter. I think when it gets hot, you have to give a little extra on...

Surely regular Blue Tourna and Mega Tac are supposed to be different feels? I think the point of regular Tourna is not that it's a great feeling grip (it's not). It's that it doesn't get that slippery when wet feel that almost every other grip does. I recently had to give in and go back to it...

Can't do this till we see the actual draw. I'd be pretty stunned if he made it past the Quarters though.

If there was a way to mimic grass perfectly, they would already have done it for soccer. There is no way (yet).

My thoughts: Stannis = really not coming back Jon = shocked if he doesn't come back (at some point). I'm willing to accept I could be wrong on both though!!!

behind! Who wants to be moving their head constantly?

Having gone through a hellish hot weather match last week, I would say adding an hour of tough physical training every week couldn't possibly be a bad thing. Match fitness was a major reason I lost.

Totally normal to do this. I wouldn't have had any issue with it.

If a fair let is called, it doesn't matter at what stage of the point it happens IMO. Yes, the timing can suck, but it can happen both ways.

It takes a while to adapt, no question. But you get used it after a few times, then you can't even remember playing indoors!

You gotta call it when it happens!!!

I think it was about 91 when the match started and about 88 when it finished. It was very humid. I had a cooler with ice. light clothes, had sunscreen on etc etc. I don't think there was anything more I could have done, other than be in better shape!!

I did my best, but my energy left me after just a few games. A very disappointing loss that I felt was almost entirely due to my conditioning. I had my chances but my opponent came up big on a handful of points, credit to him. I need to seriously focus on my conditioning now, this was an eye...

Socially = be smart about it. Legit competitive league/tourney = game on.

Do have a spare pair with me....will likely use them!

I have no basis to judge or advise. But your game and age tell me you can make it. (from your vids!) I recently played against the best players I've had a proper match with. I don't think either has USTA ranking, but I would assume them to be 5.0s (they were better than the 4.5s I've seen)...

My problem with the OHBH is simply my own elbow/shoulder. I gotta give my right side a break when I can!

Great stuff, thanks BMC!

I've played a couple of matches lately that have been challenging, but tomorrow will be the first legit hot weather game of the year for me and I'm not in great shape yet for this type of challenge. Anything you do to prepare mentally? Or change your game up a bit? Pre-game fluid etc?? My...

If your second serve is good enough to not be a liability, you may as well go for it on your first and try and get the free point or rally advantage, that is the way I look at a 2nd serve.
