Those who picked Nadal for clay... Must be all under 25-30 yrs. old... GOD could not beat BORG on clay...

Whatever happened to Alexandra Stevenson?

Let's change a bit the thread "15 Greatest Players of All Time" ... Instead, how about this... pick two players, playing their absolute best at the peak of their careers for one match, on each surface, to play for you, and your life is on the line based on the result... here are my picks...

Has a strap...

Ouch, that's a nasty weather map... Geez... I might have to clean the garage today, instead of watching the tennis.... :(

Saturday... Are they scheduled to start play at 11am? Not raining in southern New England...how 'bout in the Big Apple?

I'm not positive, but I think that my Redondo is basically the same racquet as what you mentioned...I just got it about @ 2 months ago, looking for a very-shoulder friendly stick...My backup stick is the Kennex Pro-5G from about 4-5 years ago... Redondo strung with Technifibre NRG-17 at...

Thx... I'll give it a try...

Ronaldo... Think it will play like the Pro Kennex Redondo? (one of the most flexible, shoulder-friendly racquets)...

Sorry, but I'm not seeing at the Photobucket site where the tools are to reduce the size of the images I upload to them...

I can't seem to make any pic I choose small enough (80X80 pixels) to be used in my profile... If I use MS "Paint"... how would I accomplish this... step by step, please... Thx...

They are available in the US... got mine from, I think, "Squashgear.com" Mine are the overgrip style...just put them on, and if my pulled calf muscle and sore achilles ever get better, I'll be trying them out next weekend I hope... I'll report back on how they are...

Did you consider trying the Kennex Redondo 93 or 98...flexible, good control, and easy on the shoulder

If you are not going to pay the "cardio" price and get in top shape, then you need to shorten the points. Either through hitting out more on your groundies, get a good drop-shot (especially on clay), and mix in serve & volley about 30-40% of the time... I'm in the same boat....back after 20...

For me, I believe it's the return of serve...particularly a big serve...flat, and a really high bouncing kick serve...

Sounds like you guys did not check the temperature setting on the dryer...and you COOKED them. Or, is Mom doing your laundry, and she did the dryer setting on purpose because you played tennis and didn't cut the grass...

I just got back from the Wrentham, MA LaCoste factory outlet store. I bought the white LaCoste hat that says "LaCoste" on the front, and has the crocodile on the right side. I wished they had the hat that just has the crocodile in the front and side. The ones they had like that were in...

Just wore my feathers for the second time on clay...lightweight, cool, and comfortable. Are a bit wide in the heel area of the sole...but it's ok... I would not wear them on a hard court...New Balance 653 on the parking lots...

Adidas shoes better quality than Nike, but I feel New Balance is better than either!! The old Fred Perry tennis clothing is the best "dressy" tennis shorts & shirts I've ever had...

Thanks, guys...

Yikes, I better start stashing more money into my "Ollie North Iran-Contra Fund"... ( have a wife ) ...

Is there such a thing as a good gut which is not super expensive?

Valjean... I can't do the surgery... too long a re-hab. I cannot be away from work for that long... Hurts only on serving & overheads... and I'm doing the typical RC exercises and stretching, which helps...

Yes... I'm noticing that it seems I have to lace them quite tightly, or the heel tends to pull away from the sole of my foot when I take a step forward...

What are the differences between the Alpha Apex II and the Alpha Axis Pro, besides the price ($995. versus $750.) Thx

I'm using it in a Pro Kennex "Redondo" Mid+ frame (flexible), strung at @ 55. I have big-time rotator cuff probs...is why I use this flexible frame with the "arm-friendly" technifiber NRG 17 string. My backup racquet is the older Kennex Kinetic Pro 5G Mid+. I'm going to use this racquet as...

Which specific models of sunglasses are considered excellent for tennis?

As I just posted somewhere else here, just wore my new Adidas Featherlite sneaks on my local clay court... like them so far...(light weight),comfortable, not quite as much support as my NB 653's, and also a bit wider than what I'm used to in the heel area of the sole... but, still good...plus...

I may try to wear sunglasses, but I think having to wipe them off often during the match, especially if it's a local tournament, will drive me nuts...

Just wore for the first time my new Adidas Featherlite sneakers...on my local clay courts in Providence...positive feeling so far...they are very light and comfortable...not quite as much support as my NB 653's... the heel part of the sole is a bit wider than I am used to, but I like them...
