The problem is the tennis season is too taxing. They have already played tennis for 2 months! The ATP should really consider shortening the season, maybe take out the Australian Open, so that the players are not injured by the end of Feb.

I agree. I used to swim laps very often. Sure, it was good for my overall health, but it doesn't translate well on land. When I was in good swimming shape, I was not necessarily in good running shape. However, I felt that swimming does strengthen the upper body, which can possibly prevent...

Hi, I am visiting the Richmond Hill area for a few days and was wondering if there were any public clay courts around? If not, any club where they do not require membership? Thanks

Not sure if this has already been posted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kczi7QV5-Q&e Comments?

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to start the crosses in 2-piece stringing without the use of a starting knot or a starting clamp? At my disposal, I have 2 flying clamps, is it possible to use these clamps to start the cross so I can just tie a Parnell at the end? I probably will...

The story doesn't really add up. You said you have been using strings for a year from, I presume, a pre-strung racquet (Prince crvc TI?, I am not familiar with it). From my experience, manufacturer strung strings lasted me about 4 days before they broke. If your racquet didn't break for a...

Thank you for all the responses. It seems the footwork is my first concern that needs to be corrected in order to get better positioning on the court. I often hug the baseline when rallying, and it is easy to be spoiled by balls hit directly to my strikezone and in rhythm. In a match, it...

Hi, I have noticed from watching good tennis players that they almost always hit the ball in their strike zones (out in front and waist-chest high). To accomplish this, they hit the ball on the rise for many points, before the ball reaches its apex on the bounce. I have recently noticed a...

Coria won the first set

Yeah, but if he is discouraged, he is done...

If I could go back to my HS days, this is what I would have changed. I was rallyking/chokemaster. I could hit pretty well (aesthetically), but in a match, I sucked. Everything went long and wrong. And I had no match confidence whatsoever. Everyday people would ask when I hit nicely in practice...

That is pretty impressive stuff

I've never used Polyspin, but I use a spinfire reel and its a pretty good deal. The strings are not bad to me and worth it for the price. I am not an expert though, just giving my insight.

I don't know if Coria can ever play the same. He has lost 2 challengers in a row first round this week and last week. I think the match this week he lost 0-6,6-4,0-6, which is pretty crazy. I think his problem is purely mental; it doesn't seem like he wants to play...

I checked yahoo sports, and it said Nalbandian won. Shocking to see it wasn't true at all.

I have heard Schwank is a good player, so I wasn't suprised when andreev lost

The link for the Coria quotes was on yahoo. but its been takne down. http://www.atptennis.com/1/en/2008news/vina_monday.asp

9 df. He said he actually served well, with many of df just a little bit out, not like how they used to be.

Coria did try to clear his name by going to court and he was able to prove that his supplements were contaminated. I think the guy's got bad luck. The lawsuit however gave him a hefty amount. That could be an incentive to retire from tennis for good. but it all depends on if he wants to try...

Rain cancellation, so he is playing today, tuesday

Hi, I have read the threads pertaining to trigger finger, but why do some people develop it and others not? Is there anyway to prevent it, in terms of equipment (smaller or larger grip size?) or technique, while playing tennis? Thank you

I think he meant any deformations like twisting and bending the string inadvertently which weakens the string. Maybe check to make sure your clamps are not too tight? Are they leaving marks on the string? Is breaking near a tie-off knot or on a main serving as an anchor?

I hope that you did not go to a general sporting goods store to have your racquet restrung. They generally do not do a good job (personal experience). I broke a set within the first week after a string job. Im afraid that your self-rating is based on the fact that the amount of proficient...

It says "Guinot". "Guinot Paris has signed on to sponsor women's tennis pro Svetlana Kuznetsova. The 21-year-old tennis player will sport the French skincare company's logo during all Womens Tennis Association (WTA) matches through the end of 2007. "We are very excited to have Svetlana...

Hi, When clamping the crosses with flying clamps, which is the correct way to clamp the weaved crosses, from below or from above the racquet face? Thanks

My stringing machine has a rotating tensioner as opposed to a line tensioner. There is always a slight bend in the string from using the rotating tensioner... Have you though about using string savers? Higher tention does not always lead to premature string breakage because the higher...

Hi, What are some potential reasons why my self-strung strings break faster than strings strung at the local tennis shop? I have never had my own racquet restrung by my local tennis shop, but I have played with poly/hybrid demo racquets and my friend's racquet, all of which have been...
