    Off court coaching will allowed in 2025

    Yeah, I say outlaw ALL coaching. No coaching academies, it's unfair. No one can ever tell you how to hit a stroke, figure it out yourself!

    Do we know what happened to POGO?

    Thanks for sharing! It's just wild to me that someone can go from posting 10s to 100s of times per day, and then boom, nothing.

    Do we know what happened to POGO?

    I've been on these forums off and on for the last 16 or so years. When I first joined in 2005 there was a user named POGO who was humorous and loved his POGs. He stopped posting rather suddenly after about a year of near constant posting. I always assumed he was something of a regular, but it...

    It's time for you to brag: what was the best shot which you've played in amateur/casual tennis?

    In HS singles, I played a guy who was calling obvious in balls out, and would call almost all of my shots out. I think I was down like 3-6, and came back to win 8-7 in a tie breaker. I played him again in doubles that day, and he pegged my partner in the back. He and his partner just ****ing...

    Shoe rotation of the pros - how often?

    God, if I was a pro my shoe sponsor would love me. I'm so particular about my shoes being broken in, I would only use like six pairs a year.

    ATP fans, Have you lost interest in BO3?

    I voted no, but kind of. I'd rather there be less entrants and BO5 than more entrants and BO3.

    Djokovic exclusion casts an inescapable shadow on Nadal’s win

    Nonsense. No one is going to scrutinize draws in like 3 years, the only thing that's going to matter is that Nadal won. How many draws do people look through in the 90s to try and invalidate one of Pete's grand slams? It's never been "this player won the most grand slams, the hardest way,"...

    Which Federer win elated you most

    2017. If it was a movie it would open with the "God, it's killing me," speech. Defeat after defeat by his closest rival. A career comeback seen as a novelty. Down a break in the 5th. You can't replicate the drama. I drank champagne, smoked cigars, and wore only a bathrobe all damn day.

    Roger Federer is at risk of becoming underrated here

    That's the life of singular sports. How often do we talk about Pete Sampras anymore? His 14 slams was an incredible achievement at the time; now he's regulated to "oh yeah, he was pretty good, huh?" As long as there is a singular focus on slam counts, there will be a time when the context for...

    Diary of a Racketaholic

    What's up racketaholics? I've returned to tennis fairly regularly for the first time in about 10 years. I'm only about a 3.0-3.5 player, but I used to play with Pro Staff 85s and then moved to the K-factor 90. I loved the feel even though I wasn't generating a lot of power. I've been looking...

    Replacing a Head Twin Tube Radical OS?

    I'm actually looking for something a little lighter, although I do like the feel of the POG. I might go Microgel Radical, just to keep with something relatively familiar.

    Replacing a Head Twin Tube Radical OS?

    Hey guys, I'm getting back into the game after about a 10 year hiatus. I found a Head Twin Tube Radical OS a few years ago and it's been my only stick for the last few years. I really enjoy the feel, especially with a dampener on it. Historically, I haven't particularly enjoyed Head racquets...

    Can Federer win 100 ATP titles in his career?

    I think so, depending how how he wants to take his career. A lot of players when they get older will start competing in more 250s, which is something I think Federer will always have a chance in. I can see him playing until like 38, so 16 250s in 5 years isn't that much of a stretch.

    What Year Did You Start Watching Tennis?

    I'm almost positive 2005, but I could be wrong. Maybe 2004.

    What was the last movie you watched?

    Finally got around to Looper. I'm amazed this has 90-whatever precent on Rotten Tomatoes, and critics I admire love this movie. It's not that it was bad, it was just very unclear what was going on until about mid-movie, too many characters under utilized, some characters who have way too much...

    Anyone See a Top Spin 5 in the future?

    I don't know if they ever fixed it, but I remember selling the game after they "patched" it, which made sure that pretty much every ball you hit went long.

    Has anyone seen Stakhovsky play before today?(Curious about his style of play)

    That's it. I couldn't remember who he had beaten, or where, but I remember him taking out an American at a slam.

    What was up with the prolonged conversation between Federer and Stakhovsky at net?

    Yeah, at first I thought people were being a little exaggeratory, but this really seems to be what happened.

    Maybe if there was no Djokovic.

    Federer's last shot against Stakhovsky

    I think you're wrong.

    Fedfans you feel the sadness now

    Yeah, Stak played great. No sadness here. He's won 17 slams, he'll be fine.

    Fed should win the match just for that.

    Tony Kornheiser: Nadal's FO win proves Federer is not the greatest of all time.

    I just don't see how an 8th title at one tournament that he didn't even play Federer at proves anything. All it does is fortify his King of Clay status. I mean, no one said "Well it's all over for everyone else, Federer won a 7th Wimbledon!"

    Nadal doing a standard Nadal...I hate him.

    I don't like Rafa, but what do you want him to say? "Oh yeah, for sure, I'm the favorite. It'll be a nice, easy match" To which everyone would complain "SO ARROGANT!!"
