As a delayed knee-jerk reaction (oxymoronic, I know) to threads wondering "what if pros swapped racquets?", I created this thread to list out current racquet specs used by the Big 3 (or at least the most recent specs I can glean from the internet), and what I think it means for their games...

Last GS final where serve&volley was used as main tactics, and from both players. I had these stats before, but just recently counted how much Federer used S&V in this match (there was no need to count for Scud, he used it every point). This match is not so old, i believe most still remember...

Has anyone played with both racquets and noticed one played better than the other? I know it’s not as easy as this is better than that, as the player and play style make a huge difference in how it played for you. But just would like to hear your experience with the blade vs RF97

I know it's not Federer's fault, but his draw in the AO has been profoundly easy. Here are the rankings of his opponents so far: 1st. Johnson, 75 2nd. Krajanovic, 41 3rd. Millman, 47 4th. Fucsovics, 67 Qtr: Sandgren, 100 Assuming Fed beats Sandgren, he would have made it to a GS semifinal...

Just saw this, isn’t it weird they’ve never played each other at USO? I could be wrong and am referring to the final, but I don’t think they’ve ever played each other at USO.

Evening RLA match (possibly to give Krajinovic more time to recover) featuring 6x AO champion vs the #41 (live) 27-year-old playing his fourth AO MD (3-3 career). Rooferer got a big advantage by completing his Monday match while Krajinovic struggled today to win a 7-5 fifth set after blowing a...

Hi, I’m a bit confused about string properties because I’m trying to make a hybrid bed for myself. So I was checking strings and their specifications trying to achieve a softer feel and more pocketing on my playabilty. I use full bed of Hyper G with 23kg full bed but recently 23kg main/ 22kg...

Back in the early 90s I was taught a very rigid SW/W double-bend forehand with a stiff wrist/arm. Didn't play at all for like 15 years then 3 years ago I saw a video of a Fed forehand and decided on spot I was gonna learn how to play this Eastern grip modern ATP straight-arm forehand. It was...

He's never been the same afterwards. Since then, he doesn't hit the ball with same conviction, authority and nothing to lose mentality (apart from wimby19 vs rafa and yec19 vs djok). This loss should have never happened to Roger.. It had huge and much bigger impacts than what most of us realise...

Djokovic :- "Well I'd like to have my best chances on the return, stay focused and try to return my opponent's serve as deep as I can ; force him into uncomfortable positions, take control of the rally and hit a winner or force him into bleeding an error.... Nadal :- Dats ombellible no! Bery...

I should begin the thread by stating outright that I’m a Nadal fan and hence biased towards appreciating his achievements over Federer and Djokovic. Recently, we have threads emphasising a player’s winning streaks over a particular surface/tournament/group of opponents. What confuses me is why...

Feder is the ultimate truth and the aspect of human life that leads to heaven. Accept it. Here is the proof. Here's where it all started. Calling fedr is an insult to Roger Federer's greatness. Call him Feder, people. Would you like to fall into the false blasphemy and the devilish trap named...
