I agree with you. Would have loved to have seen her play college, especially against CAL.

It was announced today, ESPN, that she is going pro. S

Up until recently, she was being coached by her Dad, but now has a new coach. Seems the pros get better when the parents let go. Maybe Camila Giorgi should do the same.

http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/15680/title/laura-robson Bump of this old thread. Laura is currently 556 in the world, she has had a long recovery from wrist injury. What are her prospects at age 22? Will she be able to compete against young guns like CC Bellis?

If the university has a medical school, I believe they will treat them in-house for tennis related injuries. I know of two examples, where the respective school's covered the injury and post-rehab without charge to the student athlete. One was a girl who was currently playing on the team, and...

In another thread, someone posted that they had their racquet strung at 86 and 60 lbs. Does that seem odd to have such a large difference in tension between the mains and the crosses? And, at 86 lbs, I'm surprised that the racquet didn't collapse. For the expert stringers, what is the maximum...

She finally bagged her first WTA win against a very good up and coming opponent. I hope she can now find a coach, aside from her father, who can take her to the next level. Your thoughts?

The French, they're so over the top with their cheering, it seems like it is out of desperation! It also doesn't help with the likes of Tsonga's and Mofils, doing their post match celebrations, as if they won the whole thing. Save it until they actually win it! :-)

Thanks Mike, apparently he is the founder of this very odd looking racket company, calling for a thread topic of its own. http://www.curvstar.com/

I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this question...but last night, I was watching the Tennis Channel of the "Best of 5". In the segment, Martina Navratilova mentions a player, who's name I don't remember but pique my interest. He was from one of the communist block countries who...

ParentingAces reports that Mr. Braden passed away. May he rest in peace.

Vic posted an entry on his Facebook account that he is fighting an illness, though he did not go into specifics. He is very happy with all the good wishes that he has been receiving but stated that, he is unable to write back and hopes to "lick this thing". Lets all wish him well!

He is certainly a good choice/candidate, but I think there is something more going on in that boardroom that we don't know about. The USTA is a designate "charitable" organization and is not subject to say....a Congressional review? Even as paying members, we can't vote on who gets the...

USTA wasted 6 years on PMac. How about the others like Higueras, Berger, it's time for heads to roll! IMO, PMac shouldn't be in the TV booth too, he does a lousy job, I hope he gets canned there too! Venting...

I saw this on my FB account from Tennis World. She says she wants to play again and is very excited about it, part of her motivation is in tribute to her ailing father. This should get interesting!!

...and so did he :) Honestly, that was the best thing to happen to both of them, both are at the peak of their respective sports, having to travel separately and so on, how could that type of relationship ever work?

Thanks for the information! The racquet I have is the Plus 30 Allround, black with orange color stripping, monoshaft. Thank you also for the article of the Man behind the racquet...very insteresting read! I restrung it the other day, with synthetic gut, grommet holes are relatively bigger...

I bought this racquet recently, it is German Made, fiberglass with 30% graphite. Anyone ever use this racquet?...about when it was manufactured? It has a tear drop shape, somewhat similar to the Fisher Superform, except the top part of the racquet is rounded. It is my guess that is was a...

Think of your arm as if it is a whip, where the elbow is the handle, and your forearm>wrist>hand>racquet is the tapered extension of the whip. As your bringing your elbow back, then quickly forward, the rest follow like a whip (imagine the letter Z), and where you contact the ball is the slap...

I had a discussion with another parent recently about players who have certain reputations, such as cheating, and how if ever that reputation can affect their chances in the recruitment process? We're talking of players that have had numerous suspensions in their respective USTA sections...

Right on the money!

Breaking news!...Sloane will go with Thomas Hogstedt, Sharapova"s former coach. Interesting pairing before the hardcourts.

In a previous thread, I noted that she was with Nick Saviano when she was a junior player. I'm still curios as to why she left Nick?... who now has Bouchard and is showing results. Her relationship with Nick was even featured in a tennis channel documentary.

Me thinks that it was Paul who dropped her. :twisted:

Did you buy it used or new...directly from the vendor or from a third party? But it definitely sounds like the mother board has gone bad. The mother board controls the settings on the machine and the motors so in order to give you the varying feeds that you want. If you bought it from the...

Yes, that's the exact one! Thanks for the picture! Chicago, St. Vincent or Asia made?

No, not marked as such. It has the stripping like the original black PS 85, but the color is pewter as best as I can describe.

I acquired this racquet yesterday. It is described as being similar to the Wilson ProStaff 85 (black in color) and the Kramer Staff (red in color). The "Staff" that I got is Pewter/grey in color and is described as 100% graphite with the PWS. Would this have been the the lower end model of...
