    Is it just me, or did Fed look really "frail" during the Aussie Open?

    I had food poisoning for 5 days and I lost 7% of my bodyweight, I had to go to the hospital, my blood pressure was really low and my resting heartrate went from 58 to 100 bpm. I felt weak for a month and didn't gain my weight back for half a year. I bet that after the Tipsarevic match, he...

    Nadal's physical condition and stamina?

    Nadal could come into net a little more often perhaps. Shorten up some points. He's an excellent all-court player. In fact he was more "all-court" than Federer in his run at Wimbledon 2007. So it's not like he can't do it. Just that it is uncharted territory.

    Have these players improved? (Video's included)

    All in all, definite improvement in game strategy from the first video to the next. I like the loopy topspin forehand to the backhand shot that one of you guys made, a good strategy. 1) To the guy without the hat, you need to take a big cut at the smash just like your serve. That dink-smash...

    feet off floor on groundstrokes?

    A series of jumping forehands: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W8ZBL9plWs As you can tell, he does that scissorkick move to keep him in balance in mid-air.

    Impossible to use?

    Wow, the owner must be making enough money to not endorse a racquet and try to sell it to you. OR He's trying to sell you a more expensive racquet that he gains more profit from. OR He's a n00b that can't use the K90. OR He's telling the truth, that you look like a n00b and...

    Pro to serve/return for your life

    Serve/Return (former players): Sampras/Agassi - Those two were clutch. And saving a life is a clutch situation. - However, I would not choose Sampras on Clay Serve/Return (current players): Karlovic/Federer - Karlovic because of the numbers - Federer because he can block a lot of balls...

    Left elbow to be locked or not locked in OHBH?

    Are you left or right-handed? On my takeback, my elbow is bent. For a flattish drive topspin - My hitting arm elbow locks just before hitting. For a safety oriented topspin - My hitting arm elbow stays ever so slightly bent.

    IS Mardy Fish out of control ?? Can ATP tennis federation allow this type of Act ??

    am fascinated by how people evaluate players statistically.

    10 in 3 years could also mean the player has won 1-2 Calendar Slams. :D Calendar Slams = the win

    Snapped at the frame

    This happens to me about 50% of the time my strings break. My RDX and RDS's have a pretty open pattern near the top of my stringbed and I always break em there. It doesn't matter if my strings are brand new, if I miss-hit hard just once, they'll break if I have poly mains. Hybrid some...

    How to be mentally stronger????

    Get yourself a sports psychologist. That's probably the only way to get mentally tough. Or climb a mountain. The opposite of Safin. I got myself a psychologist. I stopped beheading my opponents (ninja-theme) when they hooked me on line calls.

    Karlovic banned to play in the Olympics by Croatian Federation

    Well, if the Croatian Federation wants Croatia to have no chance in the Olympics, they can go ahead and ban Karlovic. Complaining about your cut in David Cup money is not a good move by Karlovic. But voicing your opinion about prize distribution should not be grounds for a ban from the Olympics.

    Badminton

    I've a friend who plays both very well. The scary thing is his volleys. He can move very well at net like a badminton player and smash every volley within reach easily like badminton shots.
