    Are serious knee injuries less common in tennis than other major sports?

    Two of the biggest knee injuries of recent memory are Fred and John Martin. I think Stanley also had knee surgery as well as Joe Wilford. Fred was lucky the surgery in 2016 extended his career a few years. Unfortunately the 2020and 2021 surgeries could not.

    How did Djokovic become so good in 2011

    I love American cheese because I grew up on it. McDonald's, every burger fast food place. But as I got older I was introduced and bought different cheeses just to see what I likes. Am Chz cooks way different than say real cheddar or Swiss. Am chz is gooey and sticky when grilled. Real cheddar...

    How did Djokovic become so good in 2011

    The eastern euro Balkan diet can be very heavy. I've lived with Serbians. They eat GOOD. In addition to all the meat, there's a lot of heavy carbs too. I don't think gluten free was the only adjustment to his diet. I think it was a major overhaul. He looks physically different from 2009 to...

    How did Djokovic become so good in 2011

    Cheese is still my weakness. I chop up some real cheese (not American cheese even though I love it) ajd melt it on the steamed veggies. And I eat my eggs whether scrambled, omelette, or whatever with some cheese on it. At least cheese has protein. Makes the veggies taste better. I've always...

    How did Djokovic become so good in 2011

    I used to make fun of the gluten free diet stuff. While I haven't gone gluten free, I have significantly changed my diet. Cutting out most of the sugars I used to have, and less carbs. Ever since I started just eating eggs eggs eggs, steamed veggies like broccoli/asparagus/spinach, my...

    Was 2018 Wimbledon SF the most important match in Djokovic’s career?

    The most important match of his career was the mental battle he had to face and overcome during the infidelity allegations. The hate Coach Pepe got during that time was unreal. He helped him get over it with love and perseverance. Agassi was a disaster.

    Federer at US open vs Djokovic at US Open

    We also have to take into consideration just how much slower the USO courts got as Fred got older. They were so slow that the AO had surpassed them in speed. When Fred peak began the USO could lay claim to fastest hardcourt tournament. Then we know the USO purposely started slowing the...

    Why did Federer disappear after winning AO 2010?

    Fred 2008 asterisk because mono. Novak won his maiden slam title but was still a double fault machine and still raw potential. The field wasn't as strong in 2008 as 2010. That's why 2010 is a better year for Ralph. The three slams on three surfaces is way more impressive. Nolan was more...

    Why did Federer disappear after winning AO 2010?

    2010 was Ralph's peak year. 3 slams on 3 different surfaces. Then Novak had an outrageous 2011. Fred was the only one to beat him in a slam that year (RG 2011 SF that I'm sure has been watched on highlight YouTube vids almost more than any tennis video)

    Shorts that are not too expensive?

    I used to get ads for Fabletics all the time. Finally used their new sign up deal. Shorts have been amazing quality. I now have about 10-12 of them in rotation different colors. Material is good. Has zippers in pockets, and they have what I usually can't find (5" inseam shorts). I use them for...

    Speed Solution FF3

    Initial impressions after using for about 5 hours (first day 2 hours of hitting, second day 1 hour of hitting and 2 hours of teaching all 3 hours straight). MAN were they stiff out of the box. The last time I had Solution Speeds (2021) they I used a runners knot (extra holes) and I didn't have...

    Speed Solution FF3

    I just bought a pair of these. I previously used the Speed Solutions a few years ago. I bought a pair of GR8's in April. They've been durable but it's about time to go. I noticed with the GR8's, my foot speed chasing drop shots and let cords had significantly gotten slower. I never used to...

    Asics Gel Resolution 9

    Hey guys, been using Gel Res 8's since April (After using Solution Speed for the previous few years). Sole is almost dead, so time to get new shoes. Should I get another pair of Gel Res 8's or switch to the Gel Res 9's? I've really enjoyed the 8's with it my first time using them.

    Six Kings... a 6th Slam?

    We here at TT have known for years Cincinnati is the 5th Slam. You could have made the argument for Indian Wells. Or IW/MIA combo being a slam. But is the Saudi event with the prize money so high now the 6th Slam? 6 Kings = 6th Slam?

    Wilson x RF Aug 8, 2024

    That's why I will be experimenting with lead tape. I played with the Eubanks Tecnifibre a few months ago and felt almost the same. Easy to swing but sacrificed bite and heaviness on my shots.

    Wilson x RF Aug 8, 2024

    So I've been demoing the Pro. Last 6 months I've been using the Pure Strike 97 with lead on the 12. My backhands with the Strike are phenomenal. Forehands are a bit tougher. This week with the pro I haven't added any lead tape. Using it, feels a bit hollow. I'm definitely not getting the heavy...

    Convince me on buying a new paddle.

    I've been using this Wilson Pro that I bought in like 2019. Granted I only play once or twice a month when I can't find tennis hits. But long overdue. Plus it's nice to have an extra paddle in the car incase any of my tennis friends want to give it a try.

    Convince me on buying a new paddle.

    You guys are gonna hate me, but I ordered two Babolat paddles. The STRKR and the MNSTR (so weird their marketing for pickleball is to remove vowels out of the names). I just ordered two of them since they're both aesthetically close to my Sith themed Pure Strike VS racquet. I only play...

    Asics Gel Resolution 9

    Should I switch to the Gel 9's? I am on my 5th month of using the Gel 8's. I really like them. I used thr Solution Speeds before that, and the Vapor Tour 9's before that. Debating on switching to the 9's or giving the ON RF's a try.

    On THE ROGER Pro 2

    My Gel Res 8's are almost on the way out. Debating on getting the Gel Res 9's or giving the RP2's a look. How do they slide on hardcourt?

    Who is ready to believe in Dimitrov one last time ?

    The good thing about Dimitrov is his name also starts with the letter D. So whenever I think of the word disappointment it just kind of goes hand in hand and I don't have to exhaust any mental energy.

    2024 US Open Mens Quarterfinals: [9] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs [20] Frances Tiafoe (USA)

    If Tiafoe or Fritz win a slam God help us. It would be better than seeing Ruud winning the French after Novak, Sinner, Alcaraz, Tsitispas all get upset in week 1 and Ruud would beat Nishioka in the Final.
