    Jurgen Melzer in Winston-Salem

    I was there. Sucked we were shorted in the Championship match BUT if you're injured you're injured. He had treatment for the same thing a couple of games into the Dolgopolv match. Melzer played great last night and today. Don't think Monfils would have won if he'd been healthy.

    Great fitness sites

    www.crossfit.com I turn 40 this July and have never played better tennis in my life. One reason...I'm in the best shape of my life! I've been doing CrossFit for 1 1/2 years.

    Does anyone string RPM Blast near 60#s

    I string my APDGT with a full bed of RPM Blast 16 @62lbs. I feel I have great control, power and spin with this combo. I'll never go lower.

    BHBR at higher tensions?

    I just strung my APDGT with BHBR 17 at 55 lbs and my shoots were flying everywhere. Got my butt kicked in the first set and then I switched back to the racquet with my RPM in it and I came back to win the second set. I've been using RPM 16 at 62 lbs for a while and I've never been more confident...

    Wanting feedback for the Asics Gel Challenger 8

    Got my new Challenger 8s (black and lime) in about 1 1/2 weeks ago. Finally got to play some with them yesterday. They are a little stiff out of the box but after wearing them to the gym a couple of times and around the house, they felt really good when I played yesterday. Grip is really good...

    Big Hitter (Blue) Rough

    I just ordered some Big Blue Rough 17 guage today. I'll probably get it Tuesday. Could any of you suggest a tension for me. I use an APDGT with a semi-western and western grip. Been using RPM Blast 16 gauge and liked it but it went dead every time way to quick. I always strung it at 62 lbs and...

    Wanting feedback for the Asics Gel Challenger 8

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm deciding between the Prince T22 (all black) or the new Challenger 8s (black and lime). Seems like both are very comfortable but the Challengers are lighter. I really want a light and comfortable shoe. I'll probably try out the new Challenger. Again, thanks for...

    Wanting feedback for the Asics Gel Challenger 8

    Just wandering if anybody could give me some feedback on the Asics Challenger shoe. Probably can't get any on the new ones but feedback on the old Challengers would be fine. I have always worn Prince but i want to try something different now that I have gone through 2 pair of Prince Rebel Lights...

    Lost to a pusher / junk baller!!!!!!

    Totally agree with bringing a pusher to the net. The best strategy that worked for me was to hit really heavy topspin. All the pushers I played always had a problem with the ball bounce from a heavy topspin shot. Doing that and some of the other stuff the other guys have mentioned has helped me...

    Do you want a Fedal final?

    I'd to see one more GS final with them in it. It'll be a long time before we see a rivalry like this again so let's see if they can come up with one more great GS final. I don't care if it's this one or another other GS this year.

    What Do you Prefer Watching, Men or Women?

    Definitely like seeing the men play over the women. The choking, not being able to hold their serves, and the biggest problem I have is the hideous noise they make.

    calling on buggy whippers

    Count me in on the Buggy whipping!!! I'm 38, a 3.5-4.0 and not looking to turn pro any time soon. I've struggled with my forehand for 20 years until I found this style. I play to have fun. I use the Buggy whip on most of my shots. It's fun to see the ball go over the net with so much spin and...

    post your shoes before the shoe warranty claim

    I called TW to make sure I was doing it right when I sent my Prince Rebels back to Prince and that's when they told me to ship them back to them and the process would be a lot quicker. IT WAS!!! I sent my Prince Rebels back to TW on 11/19 and I got them back yesterday 11/29 and I live in North...

    Pressureless balls?

    I use the same combo. Tretorn Micro X with a Silent Partner Lite but I've been using my Micro Xs for nearly 3 years. I used them the first time in about 6 months the other day and they where like they just came out of the bucket. Great PRACTICE tennis balls for a ball machine. I wouldn't...

    Stupid Announcers/Commentators

    I was going to write the same thing but you beat me to it. Those three guys actually let you hear the ball hitting the court and then hitting the racquet (the 2 best sounds in tennis). When they do talk, it's short and to the point. They're pretty funny too.

    Silent partner lite vs Lobster freedom

    I only miss one ball. I have my racquet in hand, turn the machine on, and run to the other baseline. The first ball usually dumps into the net or goes barely over the net. Might depend on how fast or slow you are feeding the balls.

    Silent partner lite vs Lobster freedom

    My Lite's battery last about 2-2 1/2 hours before it starts to get weak which is plenty for me. I just had to buy a new battery for it last month after having it for 3 years.

    Silent partner lite vs Lobster freedom

    I've got the older version of the lite. Bought it 3 years ago and it does everything I need. I was on a budget so I bought the cheapest one out there. The great thing was the lite had everything the $1000 machines had. Been very pleased with the machine and their customer service is excellent...

    Things get ugly between two greats...

    I agree 100% with your post. I wasn't there but saw the clip. I lost what little respect (lying about his drug use while playing) I had left for Agassi and gained some for Sampras (who I really had a lot for anyway) after watching that. What a jerk off!!!

    what strings and tension can i put on my babolat apdc to make it powerful.

    I use the Pro Hurricane (not the tour) 18 gauge. And just starting stringing at 50lbs (use to be 58lbs). I've noticed an increase in power. I break strings a little more often but I like the setup.
