    Best leather grip under overgrip (still fairway is the best?)

    I used a Volkl leather grip under an overgrip for my Wilson Blade SW102. Like others has stated, I like the feel and the added weight. I have switched recently to the new Tecnifibre TF40 305 18x20, but I have not changed the grip...yet.

    Monfils believes Kyrgios can win a Slam

    When did Roddick say that? If you are going to say during his podcast; he never named the player.

    2024 highest paid female athletes

    My guy, Clark was touted as The Second Coming for 2 years. Her brand was built during her college days. To pretend there wasn't a runway for Clark is proof of how myopic some people are. And the fact that Gu may be getting the bulk of her money from China, makes my point about being "global"...

    2024 highest paid female athletes

    There is nothing preventing sponsors for lining Clark's pockets. There is a skier, I and most of the sporting public in America, never heard of is clocking $22 million. Clark got $11 million, which is a nice bit of change, but female tennis player has always been the richest women in sports.

    2024 highest paid female athletes

    The WNBA season was from May 14 to September 19, 2024. Gee, what tennis events went on that captured global attention? Oh, I know, three of the four Grand Slams. How bright will Clark's star continue to be without a title?

    2024 highest paid female athletes

    What do you think get more views: An WNBA season or a tennis calendar? The WNBA simply does not have same reach at the WTA. And being global does matter to sponsors.

    2024 highest paid female athletes

    Clark is not global superstar. Those who think she the most popular female athlete in the world are doing some wishful thinking. The WNBA does not have the same global appeal as the NBA. I think in a couple of years Qinwen could be on top this list, if she wins a slam.

    Thank you Nadal and farewell

    When Rafa first started, I wasn't a fan, mainly because he was competing against Federer. However, over the years, I've grown to not only appreciate him but also cheer for him. There are many words to describe Nadal, but the one that stands out for me is "tenacious." I can't recall a time when...

    Kyrgios Will Never Learn

    Unlike Nick, Nadal and Murray actually enjoy competing. Nadal, Federer, and a host of others emptied their tank. I cannot think of a better way to leave: Giving your last ounce, doing something you love.

    Will Arthur Fils be Alcaraz's biggest rival?

    Fils is in his year-3 on Tour with 3 career titles and he was ranked 20th in July of this year, while not being old enough to drink in the State. I think his stock will rise.

    What three things would you change in tennis?

    I'm a BJK fan. I live in her hometown; I play at a facility named after, and she's my only celebrity selfie. With this said, I don't like her ideas on changes to tennis. Tennis was the hottest sport in the USA in the 70's and 80's without the advantage to the media coverage we have today. Borg...

    Will Djokovic ever win another Slam?

    I think another factor is Wimbledon Final is the place the be seen. The stands is turning into the Met Gala; more so than the Super Bowl or NBA Finals. I am not saying that Djokaraz wasn't a draw, but when hasn't the stands been pack?
