    Sinner, Alcaraz and Fonseca, which side are you on?

    These three players are a breath of fresh air, they play aggressive no nonsense tennis as well as appearing at this stage to have great attitudes both on and off the court. They really do make the current crop of mid twenty year olds look pretty lame.

    The game has passed Brothers McEnroe by

    I really like John Millman on Stan, very insightful regarding players training, styles, weapons as well as equipment etc

    Kyrgios after his R1: “Realistically, I can’t really see myself probably playing singles again here. So, it was special."

    As long as they keep him out of the commentary box. His misogynistic behavior towards women is disgraceful, publicly shaming WTA players as well as assaulting his partner is just not acceptable

    The Nick Kyrgios Thread

    Pretty sure the wrist injury has little to do with tennis

    There can be no debate anymore: Andy Murray is an ATG.

    What about the eight GS finals he lost, surely that's a record you don't want.

    Best 100-107 inch rackets in stock form

    Any panel beating car repair shop should be able to paint them, particularly if you just want a single color. Also you could ask around and see if anyone in your area does smaller paint jobs like motorcycle restorations, frames, tanks etc.

    Best 100-107 inch rackets in stock form

    I've come back from a tweener as I was finding the tweener + poly was just a bit too much. I find the blade 104 very forgiving in terms of feel and plays more consistently over a wider range of ball brands, ball condition and playing conditions. The tweeners I found were much more sensitive to...

    Best 100-107 inch rackets in stock form

    I really like my 104 blades. I find you can use poly without any dramas as the racket is fairly flexible and forgiving. The Dunlop CX200 OS gets good feedback as well, unfortunately I haven't had a hit with one.

    Adrian Mannarino string tension in Delray: 19 lbs!

    Has anyone actually tried this setup themselves, and if so how did it feel?

    What is main problem of players under 30?

    The major problem is that there are quite a few better players over thirty

    Is ALU Power the best string if you constantly restring to keep it fresh?

    Adrian Mannarino apparently string his Babolats at very low tensions and doesn't restring very often either, using the same racket for a couple of weeks. So has anyone tried this approach and what was the result?

    Soft on Elbow, good on blocking one hand returns, 310 grams and under, 100 sq inches, whippy, solid slice, not much need for customization

    Blade 104, doesn't feel or play with any of the perceived disadvantages of a larger frame, but is very easy on the arm and is not really string sensitive.

    When will the greatness stop with Andy Murray?

    Stan the Man, much better to watch, actually beat his opponents not bored them to death.

    Will Tsitsipas win a grand slam in his career?

    Unfortunately he looked totally clueless in the AO final against Djokovic. He had his chances but couldn't execute at crucial stages, very disappointing. His own best shot the forehand went missing and no real game plan or ability to play the match on his terms.

    Tennis desperately needs Alcaraz/Rune/Sinner to beat Djokodal

    Things were different back then, it was generally accepted that once you hit your thirties your best sporting days were gone. If Nadal, Fed and Nole had all retired when they reached thirty we wouldn't be having these conversations.

    Tennis desperately needs Alcaraz/Rune/Sinner to beat Djokodal

    The same situation may very well have happened if the likes of Aggasi, Sampras etc had decided to extend their careers into their thirties. This situation is not peculiar to tennis alone, stars of many sports are continuing to play into their thirties as sports medicine has improved and the...

    How did Wawrinka have Djokovic on his knees between 2014-2019?

    Stan at his absolute best could hit through the best defensive players, pretty to watch

    Tsitsipas black strings

    Looks like 4G to me, bit too gold for BBO

    Seriously, do you huge Stef any realistic chance?

    I would direct all of my shots to his forehand and see if it breaks down as it has done in the past. Would definitely avoid cross court backhand to backhand exchanges

    What advice(s) would you give to Stef for tomorrow

    Watch for the wide serve to the forehand on the deuce court.

    Djokovic is the first ever AO semifinalist who hasn't played in a day session

    Djokovic can play every match on Rod Laver Arena, nobody is questioning that. The issue is playing in the heat of the day is vastly more taxing on the body than playing in the cool of the evening. The conditions are also faster during the day so players that have a day match followed by a night...

    Djokovic is the first ever AO semifinalist who hasn't played in a day session

    Surely the Tournament referee or the players association has some say in the way the tournament is run or are they just there for show and do what they are told!
