Honestly I don't feel Nike really respects tennis. I don't know much about other places but here in NYC I have never seen them put even a single piece of tennis gear on display. Even a small brand like asics in a small store can have one puny rack for tennis. But in both of their giant flagship...

If the your foot is in pain you have to understand your feet. There are some key consideration, are you wide or narrow feet? over pronation or under pronation? Do you have high-instep (tall feet)? If you have the money, going to an orthopedic specialist. But they are $$$$$ so the next best...

Are you sure? I have wide feet and in haven't had a pair of Barricades in a long while (I think since Barricade 5.) In the past I can go size 9.5 much like how it is on the Nike Vapor I'm currently wearing. That size on the B Boost chokes the life out of my feet and sizing up feels better but...

As a Federer fan, no word commands more dread and anguish as "Nadal". It is god's punishment to fed fanboys for our arrongance and belief that our man should own the sport of tennis in this era. No, that H2H is forever that piece of hummble pie that will be served to us when ever we have that...

I guess nothing that will be sold in the states.

Does anyone know of the jackets that the umpires and linesmen are currently wearing at RG? I don't think it is the Y-3. Lacoste perhaps?

Even worst. Because you do good you can do bad? Hey Bill Gates, because you donate so much money to needy organizations around the world; once a year, we are going to let you rob a bank!

Lets put it this way; there is a class full of students and the class starts at 8. One student, lets for the sake of argument name him Rafa, comes to class 8:15. The teacher don't want to make a big deal about it because he knows Rafa is a good student. Now the principal and all of the other...

Totally agree. With Coria there is a certain genius (magical touch and strategic play). Djokovis just loves the drop shot and plays it to death. In early years it as a face palm moment whenever he tries but to his credit I guess having played so many he has gotten better both execution and...

Hellz yeaaa

And Djokovic has invited fans on court during his practices, now is Nadal or any other less of a "good guy" cause they don't do the same. I admit that was a classy response to be bad situation but you can't say Nadal hasn't turn down fans before. There is a time and place for these thing and it...

Sorry but this is an international all sporting rule, spectators should not be stepping foot on player's field. There are few small exceptions and one offs (mostly at player's permission) Also, by you allowing it, you are opening the door for more kids to try this. And like you said, they are...

It depends on the need. If you are driving or walking to your court, your best bet is your traditional racquet bag. But if you take public transportation a lot to your courts then backpack might be better. I am the latter so I've tested a few configurations. Most of the backpacks with zippers...

Sad to say I've purchased his videos before and at no time did I felt it offered much to my game. Yes, they all need to make a living but he is showing more and more unsavory business practices with each program. From over the top promises, to celebrity tutorials (think celebrity chefs), to now...

I have own and played for an extended period of time the previous generation of the 300. The 300 is a very well balanced racquet but more leaning towards the player racquet end so if you compare to APD the power and extra surface area is going to be lacking. If you want to head back toward the...

You are joking now, but it is worrisome the day for US women's tennis once she decides to hang up the racquets.

Please have care when going for performance insoles. With superfeet you want to understand if you have high or low arch and your true level of support needed. I have mindlessly been sticking SF Green in my shoe for awhile for all my sport activity and find that it don't always help. As it turn...

Is it even a good idea for cushy shoes? I know that when you are looking for insole it is actually not a good idea to go for spongy ones like dr. scholls but rather stiff hard plastic ones like superfeet. The idea being that the latter can hold and support your arch as it compress during your...

Its a separate metric with its own importance. Yes, slams are the ultimate achievements on the sport but isn't it sad enough that most people, true fans of tennis in fact that view masters as nothing but warm up sessions to majors? Points at the end of the day leads to the #1 ranking, and...

Simple explanation would be Federer possessing a more classic game which a majority of the teaching community can relate to. It also helps that Federer's game is subjectively considered by large to be pretty and hence a sell point. Nadal's forehand unfortunately falls under an odd extremity...

I see so much interest in the Ai98. Is there any left?

Perhap balls is another priority....

This is only happening in this is sport I think it is happening in sports in general. I don't that media's complaint of the NBA is too much fraternization between players now a day and (like tennis) gone are the days of raw egos and hype competitiveness. It is after all a much more PC world we...

I third or fourth the suggestion on the insole. That is the main thing going to help with the flat feet. That aside, I felt Nike really messed up with the new cages. It use to be really low to the ground and comfortable. New it feels really high and unstable. The Barricade 2015 on the other hand...

If one of the young up and coming player win, we all win. Because maybe, tennis do have a future beyond these giants.

Coria: Watching him maneuver around power players, turn defense into offense the hard way (it is not like nadal who on full run will blast a 100 mph forehand winner). And those drops shots, magic.

Its the baseline for me particularly the backhand. When he first started out winning slams I thought he couldn't miss a backhand. Of course then Nadal came along and I think he totally changed his approach to that wing. My sense is that he is trying to put too much spin into it. Anyways, what...

If a 17 time GS winner can get disrespected here, I guess might as well for a 14 time winner.

There is a chance and honestly I'd think it'd be hilarious. For all the fuss about Rafa or Fed being GOAT imagine if Rog's level dipped again and nadal still couldn't shake off his injuries, and Novak can hold down all the young guns and steal a CYGS.... oh my. I can't imagine the type of...

And that is sad. I remember one year Wimbledon offered (or it was unlocked to US) a streaming service. Very high quality stuff, all the matches you want to see. I wouldn't mind paying for that service but unfortunately TV's deal locked that up.
