    Big 3: percent of ATP matches lost against someone other than the eventual tournament champion

    Here is a graph that includes all losses. Is this what you meant by overall? Example of calculation: In 2002, Federer played 80 ATP matches and lost 22 of them (22/80*100 = 28%).

    I honestly forgot this was only a semi

    I was so engrossed in the Djokovic/Nadal match that I couldn't understand why the winner didn't celebrate more or why they both left the court before the trophy presentation. Amazing job by both players. I hope tomorrow's match is not as anticlimactic as I anticipate.

    The last time two American men played each other in a slam QF or beyond

    I believe was AO 2007, Fish v Roddick in the QF. The 11-year drought could be broken depending on how Isner and McDonald do in the next round.

    What is the stretchiest string you've ever used?

    Weiss CANNON 6 Star Supercharged 16 for me. Stringing it with a drop-weight was a nightmare- had to re-feed more string through the string jaws an absurd amount of times in order for the tension bar to level out. But aside from the stringing agony, I liked the way it played. What is the...

    How to deal with grommet that receded into frame?

    I picked up this used racket. As you can see, one grommet has receded into the frame such that the string rubs on the side of the grommet hole. The rest of the grommets & bumper are in good shape so I'd rather not replace everything. Any suggestions how to handle this?

    What are the differences between Pro Penn Marathon Extra Duty and Penn ATP World Tour Extra Duty?

    I've used the extra duty Penn ATP balls before and liked them. I need a new case of balls and saw the Pro Penn Marathons for $10 more per case. Are they worth the extra $10? How are they different from the Penn ATP balls?

    Wilson Reflex?

    I got a hold of this interesting racquet. Strung specs with overgrip are 357 g, 7 pts HL. As you can see from the pics, it has the word "Reflex" on the base of throat, "Wilson Midsize" on the side of throat, the word "Graphite" on the top of hoop, and "PWS" on the sides. 85 inch head, 16x19...

    Soft, Durable Multi for Hybrid

    Prince Premier Control 15 is the most durable multi cross I've used. In a hybrid with 19g poly mains, I wouldn't be surprised if the poly snapped first.

    String stiffness ratings - adjusted for tension loss

    I noticed that many of the “soft” poly strings in the TWU string database also have large amounts of tension loss. In other words, when stiffness was measured, the actual tension of these strings was much lower than the reference tension. I wanted to see how these strings compare when they all...

    Grommet compatible to Wilson Ncode six-one 95 16X18

    Any of the 6.1 95 16x18 grommets will fit the ncode except for the newest version. When wilson added parallel drilling, the grommet pattern changed. So I would look for the blx version if I were you. There are probably a bunch of those still being sold online for cheap.

    Question for klippermate users: string the 4 left mains in a row?

    Ok, thank you for the replies. In that case I will just alternate mains from the beginning next time and clamp a little further from the edge of the frame if necessary to avoid having the clamps interfere with each other. It should only be an issue with 1 or 2 strings I think.

    Question for klippermate users: string the 4 left mains in a row?

    So the klippermate instructions say to string the right main, then the left 4 mains, then right 3 mains, then alternate from that point on. Is that what all you klippermate users actually do? It's what I've been doing, but it seems like I could just as easily start with the right main, then do...

    Low Tensions Info

    About a year ago I dropped from my usual 60 lbs to the low 40's. The only adjustment I needed to make was mental. I had the mentality that I couldn't swing as hard or else my shots would go long, but I realized my mentality was the problem and not the tension. The key is to keep the same...

    For those who are curious about the tension loss of newly strung racquets

    I strung all 3 at 50 pounds. I assume the disparities between the initial readings of each string were due to different magnitudes of tension loss in the few minutes between finishing the stringjob and taking a reading. The differences may be also be due to inaccurate String Factor values in...
