ADRIAN MANNARINO ...Quite an interesting tennis player who battled injuries and has actually improved at 35 yrs of age crafty lefty with a lot of big name scalps last year. Any one hit with a racquet strung that low?

I think Connors is mistaken he used a continental or Aussie grip tweener between eastern and continental to serve, there is no way he could hit kickers with a full eastern and get enough spin.

Keep at it and get a copy of "Two handed Tennis " BY Jeffery E. McCullough book is a bit dated but it can help save your arm.

In his book "How to play tougher tennis " he states that he used the SAME GRIP for ALL his strokes thus never had to change it . This would be true if HE used a continental type grip but especially off the forehand side as discussed in earlier threads He used a full eastern verging towards (semi...

MY toss would be reported as a UAP or UFO:)

I don't write it off as an anomaly implying the freakish but rather a different technique. A different approach like the two handed backhand was once an anomaly cause you "don't have the good reach" whatever that really means to now being the norm .I don't buy on the current taught technique...

basically all WTA PLAYERS TOSS THEIR BALLS too high

You meant whip their arms LIKE CRACKING A WHIP similar to serving??

Tell coach Nikola from intuitive tennis that Roscoe did none of this stuff!

His serve wasn't weak his 1st serve pct was always in the 70's lots of spin mainly topspin or kick but lacked speed and power to ace people.

Connors inside out forehand was basically a low sidespin (watch some of his recorded matches) which when struck well would pull a righthanded player off wide eliciting a weak return then Connors would rip his daunted two hander for a winner down the line or approach cross court with his forehand.

Borg broke down a lot of players forehands not just Connors :)

stocky but only 6 ft tall not 6'11 or 7ft tall

Tanner won a slam Australian beating Guillermo Villas and also beat everyone on tour including the #1s from Borg to Connors on tour . He didn't last long ? He had other personal issues which screwed up his career. Tanner found himself in the Wimbledon FINALS and was one up a set away from...

What is really glaring to me is his back shoulder to front shoulder angle at the trophy position is very shallow compared to todays servers . Compare this angle to Pete Sampras or Federer's. His TOSS arm does not seem to ever go above eye level either yet he hit bullets. His back leg lands...

Wonder what he could do with a Pure drive 110 strung at that tension

He didn't change grips for the backhand he simply added the second hand

Look at my avatar its Connors waiting to return serve

Well stated

Look at my avatar ... it is a blowup of Jimmy awaiting to return serve. The late Pancho Segura former Connors coach in his book "Championship strategy" who Jimmy is still very close friends with his son said it perfectly.Connors hits his forehand with a full eastern ever verging towards the...

BEST raw talent overall in the game at 6'4" (not a servbot) best first and second serves on tour echoed by Novak Djokovic himself. Nick is currently hosting an interview TV show . I had to get coffee to stay awake and watch it. I thought at one point the LA Lakers were Nick's tennis clothes...
