    Frames with a high sweetspot - is this even a thing?

    Go hit any classic Puma Becker, Estusa Power Beam or Volkl C10/9/8/7 and then go hit a Yonex and tell me the sweetspots are in the same section of the stringbed....THEY SURE AIN'T.

    Rusedski vs. Henman, who had the better career?

    Love that they used more obscure frames: while in their primes: Slazenger + Donnay

    If the ATP is generating more revenue than ever, why does it also feel like it's less popular than ever?

    because modern baseline bashing tennis is boring A.F. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Serve, FH, BH and a few volleys = yawn. No variety, creativity or imagination. I know it's largely due to racquets & strings but it makes for much less interesting tennis IMO

    Kokkinakis blacked out racket again?

    why would any racquet company sponsor/endorse him? He's irrelevant in pro tennis...let's be frank.

    Dan Evans you beauty! Helps save 5 MP to keep Murray's career alive for one more match.

    Dan Evans is the most entertaining player in tennis. So much shot variety. He's the antithesis of baseline-bot tennis....thankfully

    What racquet over 20 years old do you use?

    I still own & rotate through a Yonex RD Ti80, Volkl C7 Pro and Fischer VT98 Pro. I recently sold a Slazenger Pro X1. They all play/feel just as they did back in early 2000's when I bought them.

    Mark Philippoussis - Should he have won at least a slam?

    you know a guy is a beast when he swings a 400g modded prestige 93 18x20 with natty gut strung @ 70lbs. Those were his specs. His impact sound was a combo "thwack/squeak" unlike anyone else's.

    Tecnifibre Razor Soft (2023)

    Agree 100% with your comment re: nobody < 4.5 should use/can properly benefit from a full poly string bed. Poly for players < 4.5 is a total waste of their time and hinders their game. Also: there is no such thing as touch or feel in poly. People who say there is haven't tried good gut...
