    Long time - no see, and no sea, guys! Into tennis still and we got some reinforcement into our league team (M55+) and have now won two rounds in a row, yet I got spanked in my game of the two’s game. Our #1 won by poor performance last time I was in the roster and the third player chimed in to...

    What I find the hardest in Tennis, have been allmy life, is to hit the ball eyes open. Specially on clay that spells lost games.But it woun’t help on hard courts either.

    I hear You, but sometimes a man’s gotta do, what a man’s gotta do! Next time I’ll have a pro lay the 1 % slope in the bathroom drain… I did it all from popped tiles to finish, water insulating in the middle and all… Despitethe rigorous effort, there is a puddle right next the drainage, which is...

    Which of the remaining players has the best chance against Djokovic?

    Tittspass is gonna have a say, but his record against Nole is vague.

    Which of the remaining players has the best chance against Djokovic?

    Indeed there was, but Nole would have had a part in that mix. He would have sent few of the contenders off the tournament.

    Now you have a special spot in her mind, if you ever wanna exploit that is on You. Good work, pal! I had my FB’s, the Mrs’ bathroom floor redone few years back to standard an architect said being way better than if you have had a contractor to do it…

    How much you tinker your gear? Do you add weight to have them more head heavy or the grip fatter? have you had any success in growing the butt? I’ve basically had luck or success in growing the belly and some with the but.

    Which of the remaining players has the best chance against Djokovic?

    I don’t really see anybody having a chance, yet the hamstring. He is now on a mission to show, what the fans and tennis world lost by deporting him last year.

    Men’s problems… Not many females looks to be writing on this message board. No more a releaf to take a leak, hard to start, and even harder to stop the dripping into your pants. On meds for nearly three months now, but the problem has evolved into something else, I did not have in the...

    The ice bowl would be much better or ice-lock swimming for recovery… All the old 35 to 40+ NHL players take the cryo-care for recovery.

    No, not necessarily. Hangover and playing drunk is different from recovering from a three-, five-setter, when you are past the age post.

    2023 Australian Open Men’s Singles 16 January-29 January

    The dang slam is flopped. In both singles draws the top 2-seeds are out and now it is basically only a quest, who of the two fall before the h2h, Nole or Tissi. From my, an old geezer stand point, top level tennis has become detoriorated since Serena did the quits And Haleb is out for...

    Seniors Natinal doubles and mixed doubles on their way near my location. Not really in shape, but when asked for mixed draw for 55 and over, I promised to take part. No high hopes. Getting on the court and smashing few good shots during the match is a win anyway, yet the result.

    Nice pile you got there! I went back to Babolat Pure Drive Roddick. Got two before, but broke the other one. Then some time with PDT and one of those got cracked. Was really in need of either PDT ’15-17 or another Roddick, which I accidentally found by leaving a buy-note at the bulletin board...

    So how many of Us are at Indian Wells? Just watching Nadal vs. Korda on Eurosport live and Korda seems to be in the flow like Thiem, all out and making all the shots. Another grinded victory for Nada. One cannot, but admire the spirit he’s bringing every time he steps ob the court!

    How annoying can an opponent be? First off in the wam up he hits some shots relentlessly reminding of a top-spin shot, but, when the game stars, no more than flat dead balls in different length and what ever. And after the match they appologise for winning the game… ‍‍:face palm: Could have...

    New theory: doing drills is pointless above 3.5

    I’m a grinder, play-like drills will help you win games. But they need to be versatile. Variable training is the thing.

    Grip size question

    I think tape on fingers are for friction and avoiding blisters, not to thicken the skinny grip.

    Grip size question

    +1! In badmington the racket weighs about 95 grams... But that said, there is a trend towards more lightweighted rackets in tennis too, hence the impact is a lot heavier than in badmington. In badmington speed is the key, since other than the net roller is allways hit flat. In tennis you need...

    Grip size question

    How long fingers does Fede have? I’d be comfortable and given a 5+ by the old recommendation, but now play 4 1/2 Comfortably, yet my fingers and palm pad overlaps.

    Grip size question

    If you hold the thinner more loose, it’ll flick faster than a big block. It is a matter of grip pressure. A thick grip may require more pressure, ie. More tense forearm and therefore the wrist will stiffen. If you can hold the thinner more loosely, then it is only matter of which way you flick it.
