I predict at least half the players who win the first point of the first game of the first match of the year will pump their fist like they just won a grand slam.

I think you mean "WHO" cares how many they infected, yes they do care. You think people with serious pre existing conditions brought them on theirselves, that is pretty amazing thinking. No need to reply, I'm out of here.

I have not played at any of the 3 clubs I belong to since the SoCal lockdown but check in with friends (most are back playing), 2 of the 3 clubs have had a member test positive, some players don't want to mask up to/from the courts or social distance, and now the clubs have opened their gyms...

From potential GOAT to potential DOAT.

Not a question of scary, I want to minimize my risk, if I get sick, my family gets sick, you do what's right for you, enjoy, stay safe.

"The chances of you getting anything from a tennis ball is so microscopic that it's bascially nil" - what is your source of information, with a link?

I am thinking of playing with a disposable glove on my tennis toss hand, I have a one handed backhand. That way I never touch any tennis balls as an extra precaution. Any one doing this? I can't see myself playing with a glove on my dominant hand, I would rather just wait for the offing vaccine...

Yes, I heard Roger is secretly campaigning to have all grand slams cancelled until Rafa and Novak retire.

ROAT?

The top 5 may become a never ending revolving door once the big three retire, like the WTA. I don't see the five you mentioned dominating the tour for very long, especially all five at the same time. It's just as likely someone new will come along. Thiem seems like the best of the group so far.

Djokovic does not care who he plays in the final.

Even Nick doesn't know why he sometimes says something, let alone you or me.

Actually, you don't have to say out loud everything you think to be genuine. Also, being genuine and admirable are not the same thing.

I am a little annoyed when an opponent uses my serve warmup to practice hitting returns and then he does not take any serves.

De Minaur, hurky jerky man is faster than Hewitt. I determined this with video analysis so it must be true. Isner is pretty fast too but he starts to slow down after a half step, he also has slow reaction times.

Nick Kyrgios vs Stefanos Tsitsipas - highlights looked good, I would have liked to see the entire match.

Actually, I've seen a number of entertaining matches and the players seem fairly inspired. Better than I would have thought.

Yes, it was a joke, no disrespect to the Italian and Norwegian teams.

It would be more interesting if team USA wasn't about to be eliminated (sadly we got stuck in killer group including Norway & Italy), still better than team tennis (a joke). BTW -Mubadala tournament was unwatchable, the announcers and presentation basically sucked. Why watch crap on TV when you...

Might be old news but I just saw this on the web. https://www.essentiallysports.com/rafael-nadals-racquet-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-lethal-weapon-tennis/ Rafael Nadal currently plays with the original Babolat Aero Pro Drive from 2005, which is under a paint job of the Babolat Pure Aero...

I would rather play up

tried 18L & 19, 18 seems to work best for me between performance and duration, all personal taste.

I use a FB of 18G 46-48 lbs in a Volkl V-feel 8 300 with another 3.5 G of lead @ 12 0'clock. I demo racquets & strings but I don't see a change in my future. Happy with the spin, power, comfort and racquet mobility. I do occasionally wish this setup would make me faster on the court, can't have...

Zilch,

Address the issue prior to starting the match, otherwise give them a 1st serve.

Relax and have fun, the pressure should be all on the stronger player who is expected to win. Don't go for more than you are capable of, play your game, instead of a slew of unforced errors. If you can, make them beat you with their weakest shot. Don't scream and yell every time you miss a shot...

Can't stand Shreakapova, I was impressed with her comeback from injury though. She should retire in minus 3 years.

It will be head light, that's for sure. Swing weight only goes up when adding weight, it does not matter where you add it. My game is built around racquet head speed, a high SW is going to have a negative effect for me, thanks.

2 racquets, the 2nd is a backup in case of breakage, I play with the freshly strung racquet and periodically switch which racquet gets played the most. Sometimes I use the backup racquet to try other strings.

Call TW, tell them what you like/dislike about your current racquet, ask them what to demo. But before you do that, think about changing your string setup to add more control. It might be as simple as stringing a little higher.
