Hello! I'm 27 years old and play tennis in Korea.
In the past, I did powerlifting and rock climbing for two years each.
I started learning tennis two years ago.
I want to reach an intermediate level.
I usually exercis like this:
Day 1 - Weight training and Cardio workout (low intensity)
Day 2 -...
Social media is of course full of disinformation, more so about the Nr.1 player in the world, so that I just wanted to post some basic sources:
Despite that very limited amount of tennis he won a great deal at the national level - while being twice a national ski champion. I think it...
So as I said on another post I decided to give myself of a year to improve a lot in tennis. Since I don't have that many people to play with, most of my training will have to be serve training (Don't worry I still play at least once a week with someone else, either practice or matchplay, and in...
For reference, I am a 30 years old guy with no girlfriend, and I am spending the majority of my time working on my tennis. I'm sure there is an element of me trying to avoid life responsibilities but I also really like the sport and I am trying to improve while I am still somewhat young. The...

Any pointers or suggestions are very...
Hey everyone! My name is James Shapiro & I know this is an international tennis community and wanted to reach out to those who might be living in the Southern California region for something special that I am offering to the tennis community. I'm a performance coach (MS, CES, PES) offering...
A few weeks ago, I participated in a social doubles event at my club, and a player had a cardiac arrest during the warmup. We were going through the normal warm up progression(baseline shots, alternating turns at net) on half of a court, and then the guy I was hitting with (probably in his 60s...
Hi,
I noticed that sometimes my clothes have an ammonia smell after a tennis training.
What could that be? Shall I be concerned and do something about it?
A few facts to note:
My natural odor is neutral or not very strong
I use mainly synthetic clothes (Hydrogen) for training because they dry...

I know there are good softwares available but I don't have any tennis knowledge to compare it myself. I am...
Looking if any of you have any reccos for functional tennis workouts at the gym (or outdoors), with/without weights, resistance bands and medicine balls. Any videos of pros doing specific workouts would be a big plus!
Thanks!

I knew Federer would win the Australian Open. Even before you see the board, even before you guess the conditions of Nole, Stan and Rafa. Even before knowing where Dimitrov and Del Potro, Kyrgios and Goffin had ended up. Before we even cross Sascha Zverev and think that the...
Optimum Strength is defined as the most amount of strength you need for a given sport.
For example, if you are a ping-pong player, you do not need as much strength as a tennis player.
So, at a certain point, if you gained any more strength, it will not affect your performance.
I think that this...
Ok, let's say I'm in a bit of a crappy situation right now. It's pretty long to describe, so I'll put it under Spoiler.
Long story short, now that I can finally consider the idea of competing again (and I already spent time and money doing the relative medical exams, as it is a pre-requisite...
The Rare Phenomenon of Players Calling Trainers for Mental Injury.
Has anyone ever seen this before? I have seen a lot of tennis over the past 20 years and I have never seen this before today's final.
To be clear, I want to make the distinction. I'm not talking about:
- Players calling...
