    No USTA year end ratings will be issued

    Bummer, I was almost certainly going to get bumped to 4.0 which has been my goal for a while now. tennisrecord.com had me at a 3.4498

    Federer fans - what was harder to take - Wimbledon final 2008, 2014 or 2019?

    I've only been watching tennis since 2011 so take this with a grain of salt but W 2019 was absolutely gutting. To go from expecting him to lose entering the match, only to see him hold multiple championship points on serve hours later just to throw it all away left me in a daze for weeks. Then...

    What Happened to the Adizero Line?

    Thanks so much for getting back to me! The weight/material of that line is what I am missing most. Do you know of any other clothing lines that utilize similar lightweight fabrics? Really appreciate the feedback!

    What Happened to the Adizero Line?

    I've tried it out, but I'm pretty certain their material is different and not as light as the adizero line. Plus the climachill line has those weird metal balls on their shirts. not a fan!

    What Happened to the Adizero Line?

    I'm talking the apparel line, not the shoe line (I realize the Ubersonics are the current Adizero line shoe model). They used to make great lightweight crews, and now they seem to have discontinued the line. I see they are still making Barricade crews and Climachill crews but I do not see any...

    3.5 players. Would you win more matches if you learned to be a pusher?

    I could not agree more with this statement, well said.

    Explain USTA's Timed Match Rule

    Hello, I am looking for help in trying to understand USTA's timed match rule. I played a timed match this past Saturday that went the following way: we started on time (10 AM), had a 10 minute warm-up,(as per the rules), so the match play started at 10:10 PM. My opponent won the first set 6-2...

    Best return of serve performances?

    The best that I've seen live, and recently, was Djokovic in the 2015 Wimby Final. I remember him regularly returning Fed's serve right at his shoelaces. I think this caused Fed to mail it in that day, he was making virtually no in-roads with his legendary serve/hold game.

    Best slam matches of 2016

    AO- Simon v Djokovic FO- Zzz Wim- Federer v Cilic USO- Wawrinka v Djokovic Overall, definitely a bit of a down year. The battle for YE #1 made it somewhat intriguing down the stretch.

    Asics Speed - Any Better Light Weight Shoe?

    I've owned 1 pair of the Speed 1's, 2 pairs of the Speed 2's, and 1 pair of the Speed 3's (current shoe). The 2's were far and away my favorite model thus far. Great support, breathability, durability, and weight. The 3's are just too cushy and, like many others say, run too hot. Still the best...

    Compare these 3 strings

    Right on, thanks for the input. I am curious about Tourna Black Zone too, that string seems to be a bit polarizing compared to the other 2.

    Compare these 3 strings

    1) Kirschbaum Pro Line II 2) Yonex Poly Tour Pro 3) Tourna Black Zone According to my light research, these strings all seem to fall in a similar category to me; soft(er), round, control oriented prestretched polys. Furthermore, they all seem to have a similar score on their TW review. Is there...

    Asics solution speed 2 vs 3?

    I had 2 pairs of the Solution Speed 2 and am about halfway through my pair of 3's currently. The 3 didn't really feel narrower to me, but it is definitely more plush, more cushioned, heavier, and not nearly as ventilated. Aside from the design and colorways, I think I like the 2's better FWIW.

    Has there ever been a string that never clicked for you?

    Solinco Tour Bite. Volkl Cyclone. Honestly don't understand the hype with the chunky, shaped polys. Never jived with me, not even for a little bit.

    2016 French Open - Men's tournament discussion thread

    Anyone else think this is the worst major we've seen in several years? Reminds me of Wimby 2013. Boatloads of injuries, withdrawals, and tons of lopsided match-ups resulting in virtually all straight set matches (with a few "epic" 4 setters). Here's to hoping this GS finishes strong...

    Won my last match (by default, 0&0), and won this week 5&2 against a player that beat me in straights last year! Felt so good to not just win, but to play well for once!
