    Brad Gilbert is so annoying...

    Gibert and company get no respect I don't know who everyone else has been listening to in the states, but as a tennis player passionate about the game, I think Gilbert, Killer Cahill, and Fowler are three of the best on the tele. They each have a unique style, Gilbert's flashy, Cahill is...

    Federer official's...

    Anyone who's seen Fed up close lately knows he's built perfectly for tennis. His shoulders are quite broad, much more than it seems on TV, and his legs are definitely thicker than the average joe's, but not Jonas Bjorkman like tree trunks. Also, he probably hit the weights a bit after his bout...

    Great Serve and Volleyers of the last 20 years

    Thanks so much for the suggestions. I'll definitely get some of Edberg's and Mac's matches, perhaps the 84 French to see how Mac did it on clay.

    Great Serve and Volleyers of the last 20 years

    Having only started playing and watching tennis about 5 years ago, I never got the chance to watch any major pro serve and volley (since nobody does it anymore on the tour). However, I want to get some dvd's and tapes of great ones from the last twenty years, especially ones that attacked the...

    Observations from Key Biscayne 2008 practice courts

    Ancic is a top ten player lying in the weeds. Just wait-he's the real deal. I don't see the "awkwardness" of his strokes-they look great to me, but then, I'm no pro.

    Did Nadal and Federer practice together at Indian Wells?

    I was there. Blake and Fed hit for nearly two hours and then the crew put up a whole new net with big lettering on it and Fed and Nadal hit over it for about ten minutes and that was that. I think the ATP must have wanted their feedback on the net and if it was distracting, etc.

    Chris Fowler=Idiot tennis commentator

    I like Fowler because it's clear to any real tennis fan that he's one too. He's not some schmoe put in the box by the suits to fill the void. You can tell that he genuinely loves the came and anchors because he WANTS to be there. It's clear he loves the game and is pretty darn knowledgeable...

    Recommendation: low power, high feel cross string for hybrid?

    Can anyone recommend a low power, but still high in feel/touch cross string for a hybrid set-up? I currently use technifibre x-one 17 in crosses with alu rough in mains and it's just become to damn powerful-I want more control, but don't want to sacrifice feel for my net game. Any cross string...

    Overweight Tennis Player in Top 5

    So what if he's got a little bit of a "belly." The guy's freakin talented and he's playing the best tennis of his life. Andy Roddick lost a bunch of weight and hasn't been quite the same since. So . . . let him be.

    Roddick on Gilbert's coaching style

    All I know is that Brad has been the only coach able to keep ARod's head on straight, and that should account for something. In fact, more than just something since at the elite level it esentially comes down to mental focus and confidence; those are two things the big server hasn't had since he...

    Future of Serve and Volley in the pro game...

    In sports, everything is like life, circular. What's out now, will inevitably be in in a few years. In basketball, the Lakers used the fast break offense of the 80's to revolutionize the game. But, in 2005-6 guess who rules . . . the slow motion, defense first styled Pistons and Spurs. In...

    Where's Taylor Dent???

    Does anybody know where Taylor Dent is? He wasn't at Pac Life and he's not in the Nasdaq. He must be injured, but does anyone know how badly?
