    If Jannik Sinner and Rafael Nadal were born in the same era, how many Roland Garros titles would Nadal have won?

    Nadal would still have all his F.O titles. Simple. Not a hard question.

    Would the current Sinner beat 2011 big 3?

    I don’t think he beats Federer because 11 Federer beat Nole at the FO and Federer is a fast court player. Also no player plays like Federer today. Both Nole and Nadal hit harder and were faster back then so I don’t see him beating them either.

    Guidance Please, On 17g Nat Gut Main / 20g Poly Cross Tension

    If you like that tension then I would keep the 17g gut at 58 but drop the 20g down to 52lbs. The 20g is going to stretch.

    Net cord let.

    Hi During the Australian Open I saw a junior girls match. It was singles and I remember the score as 15-30. The server hit a serve and it was out. The servers second serve hit the net and barely went over. The umpire then said the score was 30-30. The server put her hand up like players do when...

    Has Djokovic become a clearer GOAT in tennis than Messi and Jordan in their sports?

    With Jordan you have Lebron, Chamberlain, Jabbar, Russel. With Messi you have Pele, CR, Maradona, But with Nole there is nobody who has won on all surfaces like Nole.

    Is the 93p the right choice for me?

    I use the Angell TC95 18x20. I aged out of my Volkl Powerbridge Mid 10s that I had. The TC95 feels like the Powerbridge with a bit more power. I ordered mine head light like the Volkl but 1/2 oz lighter. Plays soft but good power. Only thing with Angell you have to know what weight and balance...

    Underhanded serves: does tennis need a balk rule?

    Once the game reaches the 10th inning each team starts the at bat with a man on second base. Then play continues normally.

    Underhanded serves: does tennis need a balk rule?

    Sometimes the pitcher throws from the windup or out of the stretch so he does throw differently. Also depending on if there is a fast guy on second or first base the pitcher will pitch much faster or slower so the person on base does not get a good jump trying to steal the base. The batter just...

    No loop take back

    Although there is no above the shoulder loop her racket head is closed when she starts on the forehand and backhand swing. Date is not doing a Mac swing. The racket head is closed but with a very short swing. Most people with a swing that short have a flat racket head at the start. Very unusual.

    Peak Federer is the second greatest clay court player of all time? Agree?

    I put Federer 5th. Behind Nadal, Borg, Kurten, Novak. Federer did beat Novak in 2011 but Novak beating Nadal twice at the FO overcomes that to me. Guga beat Federer with pretty much one hip in 2004.

    What would happen if the posters openly disliking each other out there met in real life ?

    One time one of my doctors on a team that was going to preform surgery on me found out that I was a Federer guy. Anyway doc was a Nadal guy and he would come into my room we would talk tennis and he was a really nice person. Lol.

    Renewable Energy Super Power

    For about 30 minutes on April 30th at 3 pm the whole state of California was powered by renewable energy. Renewables produced 103% of the states need. The other 3 % went into the western power grid for that 1/2 hour. It is more like airplanes were 110 years ago but it is a start.

    Can I ever make 5.0?

    The bend in your knee is better. Maybe a little more bend in your left knee but looks much better.

    Volkl Mid 93" Users: Will I be Disappointed with PB 10 Mid I just Acquired?

    I used to use the black PB Mid 10. I would say keep it and maybe try Wilson NXT 18 or Tecnifibre NRG2 18. Lower price and somewhat close to gut feel. Also if you decide to stick gut in the racket you could have a feel for what tension you want from the NXT or NRG2.

    Supposing Barty had not retired, would Swiatek be dominating the tour now?

    Hopefully Barty unretires and comes back and gets U.S. Open title so she can have all 4 slams. She would beat Iga because of the variety in her game.

    Why isn’t Rublev not as successful as Agassi

    That was a 70% Agassi. He retired from Wimbledon after that match. Still played Nadal hard in spurts.

    Tips on returning weak/pushed second serves in doubles on deuce side.

    You may want to move up in front of the baseline and start to move your feet while the server is tossing the ball in the air. If you do that you will be able to extend your arm and be in the right position no matter if you hit a forehand or backhand. Once you get the timing hit 3 to the server 1...

    Wawrinka vs Muster at RG

    Prime Stan wins against prime Muster. If you look at strokes Muster’s forehand to Stan’s backhand will not work just like it did not work against Guga. Stan’s serve would work.

    Any older players still using “players frames”?

    I have played with the IG Prestige , Volkl Powerbridge mid 10( nice racket when strung loose) Head Rev Pro( weights in the handle), among others. For the last 2 years at 64 I have been using the Angell TC95 18x20, 27 1/4, 70 ra. I have the 310 gr version. The racket has great power but is soft...

    Next Big Rivalry - Big 3 Free thread

    I chose FAA-Med because FAA has made the Wimbledon quarterfinals, US Open semis, AO quarterfinals with a match point on Med. FAA also beat Tips and Rublev winning his first tournament. Also Med has been going deep in tournaments(except for FO) and winning the US Open. Going by movement you have...

    Why would someone who can hit normally start pushing and hitting drop shots in sets?

    Your opponent does hot have to care less about your heart rate, your hand eye coordination, waking up your reactions etc. You can jump rope, jog, run in place, or do any exercises before warm up on your own to be ready no matter what your opponent does. A lot of players I played with used to...

    Teaching pro starting teaching at my public court

    Where I live the city will come out and post that the courts are going to be used by someone or that an organization/person has paid for the court/courts. Another thing to be considered is that the person receiving the lesson is a taxpayer where the court is located and the coach just meets...

    Mike Tyson = GOAT?

    Also Hagler’s coaches took a extra 2 million in the Leanard fight so it could be a 12 rounds instead of the championship 15 rounds. They also agreed to a larger ring so Leanard could run. Hagler STILL won the fight and was robbed.

    Emma Raducanu releases Nike commercial days after 6-0,6-1 loss

    You see that in baseball where a guy will come up from the minor leagues and he knocks the daylights out of 98 mph fastballs but then major league pitchers will start to throw him changeups and curve balls. Lol

    Djokovic decision update

    Vaccines work by antibodies attaching themselves to proteins on the virus surface so the virus cannot penetrate the cell wall. Does not stop virus from going from one person to another. All vaccines from polio, smallpox, measles, flu work this way. Maybe a 70% airborne alcohol mist would stop...
