Can you someone more capable than myself please check the Tomas Berdych Twitter page? His post on April 1, 2020 announced comeback for Olympics 2021...I assume it was an April Fool's prank? Apr 1 Chci Vam oznamit, ze jsem se rozhodl pro navrat na olympiade v tokyu 2020/21 Just want to inform...

Will you please name the ones you think qualify? (PLEASE don't list the great shots from guys that are HOF Players.) I came up with two: Blake FH Gaudio BH...

A lot of negativity surrounding Federer, which I will never understand. It's certainly no crime to age. Why he is still above and beyond anyone else in men's tennis history is simply because he was the first to do everything the other two are now possibly able to emulate. Federer was the...

Recently on my DirecTV line-up a new show called 'ATP All Access' has appeared, in addition to the regular 'ATP World Tour Uncovered'. Sadly for me, I don't get the channel on which it airs. Has anyone seen it and is it very different from 'Uncovered'? Thanks for any responses!

I would like to go for TT immortality and predict Novak will never win another slam. I know...sad, but I figure I'd add a poll to help me out from all of the hate. Thanks for any and all responses!

Stefan Edberg's BH is usually considered a great shot in the history of men's tennis. Not modern, I understand, but is Gaudio's backhand worse simply because he didn't win as much? As a stand alone shot, I feel Gaudio has a much better BH (topspin at least), so I'm wondering how others might see...

Indian Wells 5 years ago, Monfils and SImon practicing...Monfils does not want to take a photo with me, Simon literally comes up to me and asks if I want to take a picture with him. He has a lifetime fan in me...does it matter to you?

The following is my list of the best individual shots on the CURRENT ATP Tour. This is not based at all on the accomplishments of the players...instead of ripping into me, please provide your own list if you are interested. Thx for reading. Serve: Isner Return: Djokovic FH: Soderling (still...

As of this posting only 7 men ranked between 50-100 have career winning records...Melzer, Almagro, Dolgopolov, Nieminen, Baghdatis, and the two surprises were Victor Estrella Burgos and Ricardis Berankis. Is this surprising to anyone? Is the level just so ridiculously high on the ATP or are...

Has any CURRENT ATP pro (singles/dubs) played with a frame from more than 4 different manufacturers during their career? I know Verdasco had 4- (Dunlop, Tecnifibre, Babolat, Head). Are there any who surpassed this? Thanks for any info...

Whose game would YOU rather have? I remember fondly Blake crushing BH returns (later in his career) and of course that FH and foot speed. Quick Nick is also great to watch and coming into his own. (This is not results based) Thx for your ideas...

i like these types of comparisons cause i often wonder which career is more attractive. Would you rather be a one-slam winner (gaston) and then fade or a marginal top-10 guy with no big titles (blake)? min. 300 atp matches played.

Are we to miss a semi-struggling Federer vs. Almagro (who is dangerous) for two has-beens? Anyone know if Fed match will air? Thanks for any info!

I know it's no biggie, but still kinda cool. I sent in an email just yesterday to the Nadal blog (Times Online UK) and it was chosen. It was the first question posted today. I asked if he was a technical guy and if he experimented with various racquet/ string set-ups. Thought this might be...

And will Safin play well enough for it to matter?

Has only won 2 sets this year. Any insiders have any info please?

As of Feb. 12, 2007, 42% (42 players) of the players in the men's Top 100 have losing records in singles. Four players (4%) are exactly even- so that means only 54 of the world's best players have a winning record, in singles. The only redeeming quality is that most of the guys in the top 50...

I found nothing definitve when I searched...If anyone knows, how long has Marat been with Head? And did he ever actually play with a Dunlop frame? Thanks a lot!

Does Coria have a world-class serve, which is only weak by pro standards? Or is his serve bad by any standards (5.5 or open level)? He has been losing quite a lot lately and hitting so many double-faults....

Which frame will Sampras use during the WTT season? Original PS 85? PS Tour 90 N-Code Tour 90 Something Else

Where is this guy? It's been quite a while no?

In their primes who would win? Choose any surface. I feel Edberg would match Nadal's speed and expose his weak return of serve. The only chance Nadal would have is on clay--but Edberg did reach the French Finals in 89!

Which absence is more siginificant from a fan's perspective? I miss Safin more I miss Roger more

Finally the tennis channel is showing something worthwhile.

Two months ago I started a post with a poll..."Is Mirka Chubby?" Now I can't find it. Please tell me if it was removed or where to find it. There is a similar one now in the Pro Player Discussion board. Thanks!

Where are all you guys? Don't go just because of Roger! Don't worry that the indoor season (fast courts) is coming up. Surely you can forget about two second-round exits at Grand Slams this year. Who was the only player to make the semi's of all four majors again (w/two finals!)? Or are...

At least we have a great broadcasting tandem for Coria's soon -to- be thrashing of Ginepri! :)

GC- all the way!

I have visited this board for several months now, and I see quite a few "insensitive" comments being posted. I understand this is the internet, and a lot of people here are kids- so I try to deal with that. But does the race or nationality or religion of a player make a difference in terms of...

I really love Coria. I like that he is kind of a loner and feisty. And yet, I can't stand Nadal and Hewitt. Anyone else like GC?
