    I'm still behind on video editing but I'm slowly getting videos out again! This match was before I returned on court but I'll be uploading my own practices and matches soon again! This match is a 4.0+4.5=8.5 NTRP combo mixed doubles league match.

    I know it's been close to a year since I last played tennis but I've been unhappy around this time when practicing, especially with the forehand side. For this practice match, I tried using semi-western forehand grip (usually use a full western). Long story short, I ended up staying with the...

    Played 3 sets of singles practice match with my college teammate. Both him and I were recovering from our surgeries/injuries and wanted to get back into the groove of it right away. He is recovering from eye surgery and myself with achilles surgery. Been 295 days since our surgeries.

    Back to playing competitive points! Just played a tournament in December and didn't do as well in singles but got to the final in doubles! Hoping to edit those soon as I'm trying out different formats!

    Pro Stringer 3.0 w/ Module X 6 Point Mount

    Thanks for the constructive criticism! You make good points and I'll try that when I string later this month! I did think about the starting pin from Klippermate but internally can't justify spending $5+ on a simple pin. However, I'll try release the clamp after the 3rd right main string.

    Pro Stringer 3.0 w/ Module X 6 Point Mount

    I've been using Pro-Stringer since 2018 and been loving them. I switched to the new 3.0 version from the 2.0 last year and had little issues with it. Here's a video of me using the machine stringing a friend's racket.

    I think I’m done with Achilles tendinitis but

    Good question! I’d like to think I’ve rolled my ankles many times throughout my playing career but could also be not taking my physical condition as serious as I should’ve (busy with grad school at the time, diet was okay). Ultimately not too sure

    I think I’m done with Achilles tendinitis but

    My doctor told me that I should wear KT tape on my Achilles tendon whenever I play tennis from now on… If I’m doing physical therapy/workouts to strengthen my calf area, can’t I eventually play without KT tape? I need help understanding this logic. I’m approaching 30 years old but I don’t feel...

    The dreaded EOY Rating thread

    Should I bump down from 4.5 to 4.0 after coming back from an Achilles rupture injury back in January of this year? Haven't played a match all year long

    Thank you! I really appreciate it. I see the foot doctor tomorrow so hopefully I can get back to training asap. I honestly haven't thought about it. I don't think my opponents around the area would be happy with me playing down though haha. I usually don't pay any attention to ratings. I'm...

    Some USTA 3.5 Singles Match Play. Around shooting this time, I was healthy enough to hit the ball. I recently got cleared to get back onto court and start training again. Hoping to travel and play tournaments again in January 2025. In the meantime, I will eventually vlog about my recovery...

    Diary of a Racketaholic

    Now that I’m getting ready to get back on court, I also have to make sure my rackets are ready as well. You may not know but because I have 5 rackets of the same brand and model, you might assume they all weigh and balance the same. They are not. Every once in a while, especially after being out...

    Now that I'm a lot more mobile and starting to get active again, I'm able to go to more matches and take pictures and record. My general stamina is slowly coming back together so I'm able to spend more time outdoors and video/photo edit. This match is mixed doubles NTRP 9.0 Combo!

    First time coming to a Gladiators match. My friend plays singles in it almost multiple times a week. Gladiators is a singles league that's separate from the USTA but each match results counts towards their UTR ratings. Their NTRP system is slightly different from USTA's NTRP system. As you can...

    Thank you so much for the invite! I'm honored but I'm actually out until further notice. I had an achilles rupture at the beginning of the year and working towards recovery. It's going well but maybe next year!

    Full Achilles rupture = surgery required

    https://www.reddit.com/r/10s/s/dgsIM34F70 Has anyone experienced a full Achilles rupture, went through surgery, and got back to playing at their usual level or higher? I could use some advice and tips on what you guys did to keep playing and competing
