it's great to see her fit. but DAMN! is she ******** or something?! or is womens tennis really that bad? i really want her to get to at least the semis.

lol. i doubt steffi will make a comeback. i don't think anyone will out do her tennis resume anytime soon. as for date, karatancheva is going to be a big test. seems like she's on the comeback train as well and doing good. kimiko still looks cute and hot even when approaching 40. Even...

She's made it in. It's good to see her enjoying tennis and taking matches. Im doubtfull of her chances to win but I would to at least like to catch some of her matches or at least one on t.v!

http://www.yonex.com/tennis/racquets/rqis.html looks snazzy. i thought it was the new RDX that i heard about from a retailer. he could have been misinformed and this might be the racquet that had come out. thoughts?

i just called one store (a different one) asking if it's possible to string 2 different tensions in one racquet one piece and the lady said,"absolutely not" i just want to keep bringing this up for the inexperienced people out there to make sure they get what they are paying for. i didn't...

thanks for the reply locco. im going to give the store a call where i got my racquets strung. i just don't understand why they would bother stringing it one piece for 2 different tensions. and the fact that it's also a yonex racquet. there goes my warranty.

ok. well, then im pissed because i requested that my racquets have 2 different tensions and they all came back with 2 knots. meaning they are done only one piece.

just a quick question. i don't know much about stringing and was wondering if you have 2 different tensions in your main and crosses the racquet should be strung 2 piece, right? or can you only have 2 knots and the racquet still be able to hold two different tensions?

Why do recreational/non-touring pros foot fault so much? I notice that at my local park and at the club that so many people foot fault. i also noticed in the videos that many of the ttw posters have posted too. do you foot fault? do you call foot faults on your opponents? what do you...

Great player had a amazing career. if justine is mentally weak then so is sharapova and the rest. (by comparison) i always felt that since her divorce and reconciling with her family that she's been different. it's obvious her attentions have been somewhere else then the tennis courts. I...

yeah. if your are up in a game or set it's ok to gamble on the first serve and go for a flat one(if your second serve is solid) just make sure if you are spinning in the first and second that you mix up your placement.

i agree. it depends on your opponents court positioning. I have a great lob so i mix that in as well to keep them from coming to net. theres also the dipper at the feet. or you can be an ass and go flat and straight at them. lol

a few questions are you following through on your shots? are you getting low and under the ball with your racquet? those could be some problems also make sure that your racquet isn't closed on contact. you don't have to switch grips. the trick to hitting topsin with the eastern is in the...

they should have made the court bigger so that sharapova didn't have to hold back. lol. if she went full force she would have killed an audience member. lol.

"Try for place spin" i meant "placement".

You can improve your ace count by mixing up your serve so that you keep your opponent guessing. The smarter you mix it up the more likely you are to hit an ace. Try for place spin and different spins over power. You may have noticed that when you also have an easier time holding serve and...

I don't know if it's actually my best shot but my if i get my first serve is pretty good. i get cheap points and place it well. but if im not getting it in then all hell breaks loose. as for groundies it's my backhand topspin lob.

FLASH! A-HA! saviour of the universe FLASH! A-AH! he'll save everyone of us

I just sent him an e-mail if he has anymore info on it. I'll reply back when he responds.

Just got back from my local yonex shop and the owner told me that there is going to be a new RDX coming out in 1 year. thats all he said. i didn't ask any questions cause they were all busy and there were a couple of customers waiting and i wanted to go hit with my rdx 500 as soon as possible :)...

Natural Gut. Im not a string breaker! WOOT WOOT! :razz:

GO SHORTY!!!!! is it weird that i like justine so much more now that she left her hubby? she just seems so much more happy and personable.

this is from lindsay's blog on wtatour.com http://www.sonyericssonwtatour.com/3/newsroom/stories/?ContentID=1855 "So far my comeback has been really focused more on getting my body back used to playing, and also trying to figure out all the changes that have occurred since Jagger. In...

I prefer this commercial probably my favorite commercial with tennis players. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20iGUHNjV7k

with that logic then one could say that men who play with prince o ports play with them because they have trouble finding the g-pot...i mean sweetspot.

p.s. i think it's bad to hit someone if they are being a jerk. That just makes you just as bad as them. plus it just means that they are getting into your head. that can cause you to loose the match.

yeah, in doubles. it's a part of the game. if someone says it's bad sportsmanship then they don't know how to play the game. ive taken a few hits at net too. If i can't handle the shot then all the credit to my opponent. in singles its a bit tricky. I try not to but sometimes you aren't in...

thanks for the reply steven. i decided on using Vs Touch in the mains and FXP in the crosses.

I need some string advice for my RDX 500 Mid (such a pretty racquet!IMO) heres my background: I have mainly used Babolat VS Touch 16g in my other rackets (Head LM Instinct and Head LM Prestige Midplus) and i have never broke the strings. They were always strung around 57-58lbs. I am...

Flat ball hitters like to hit the ball in the same place everytime. You gotta mix it up. just like the previous posters had replied. short slice, deep slice, moonball, do it all. He'll miss a few and feel more pressure to go for more and make more errors. But just remember to not waste...
