<p>I didn't see the Williams vs Schiavone match, but i did watch the highlights, and I think Williams is moving pretty well. </p>
<p></p>
<p>She usually doesn't play solid players like a Schiavone first round, but i think Schiavone helped Williams get warmed up for the rest of the tournament. I think she's going to take it because of this match.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I think WIlliams and Sasha are working hard, do you think Williams will get 22 Majors?</p>

<p></p>
<p>Tennisopolis has had a lot of participants in the past but not so much lately and with BOTB competitions and notices for them being less frequent of late, that's a bit understandable but I hope the numbers will increase again!</p>

<p>The entry form is available at <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://t3nnisstats.webs.com/" target="_blank">T3nnisStats</a>!</strong> You have until Monday before play starts to make your picks. ;)</p>

<p>I hope you'll participate! The more the merrier!</p>

<p>T3nnisFan :)</p> Mac says Nadal deserves to be seeded #1 at the French!tag:tennisopolis.com,2013-04-23:1869403:Topic:10341392013-04-23T19:30:18.654ZTim Praponghttp://tennisopolis.com/profile/TimPrapong
<p>The 1984 French Open finalist suggests the top players would support a seeding raise for Nadal — to save themselves from a potential quarterfinal clash with him.</p>
<p>“Let me put it to you this way: I guarantee you that none of those four guys, as great as they are, want to see him in the quarters,” McEnroe told TENNIS.com. “Quite honestly, I would seed him number one. I’d seed him number one, actually, because I think he deserves that. I think the other players deserve it.”</p>

<p>The 1984 French Open finalist suggests the top players would support a seeding raise for Nadal — to save themselves from a potential quarterfinal clash with him.</p>
<p>“Let me put it to you this way: I guarantee you that none of those four guys, as great as they are, want to see him in the quarters,” McEnroe told TENNIS.com. “Quite honestly, I would seed him number one. I’d seed him number one, actually, because I think he deserves that. I think the other players deserve it.”</p>
<p>It’s unlikely Nadal, who trails David Ferrer by nearly one thousand points for the fourth spot in the ATP rankings, will crack the top four before Roland Garros sets it seeds. McEnroe says seeding Nadal ahead of Ferrer is a no-brainer and says the reigning champion should be seeded ahead of third-ranked Andy Murray as well.</p>
<p>“Certainly, you can’t even possibly question if he should be [seeded] ahead of David Ferrer, as much as I respect him, or for that matter even Murray on clay,” McEnroe told TENNIS.com. “Djokovic is the only one, given his accomplishments on clay, that you could possibly make an argument deserves to be seeded ahead of [Nadal]...I don't know that they [the Roland Garros seeding committee] are willing to change the seedings at their event."</p>
<p>McEnroe suggests the best-of-five set French Open format can benefit Nadal.</p>
<p>"It’s a little unclear in best-of-five sets, maybe it will help him, give him some more time," McEnroe said. "But I’m not quite sure where he is [physically] right now. I’ve only seen him a few times, but he’s looking pretty damn good to me.”</p>

<p>Maria gave O. Puchkova, and M. Doi some tasty bagels this Aussie open, but is this a good thing?</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've been watching the open a lot, and have been listening to the announcers talk about Maria Sharapova. They talked about her scores from her last two matches, and how it may be a disadvantage going into her third round against V. Williams.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I can see their point, but I wonder if they were just saying these remarks to build up the match...?</p>

<p>This all-American second round match may not produce the eventual winner of the 2013 Australian Open, but I think it is going to be one exciting display of tennis. From their form coming into this event, they seem very well matched. I think big Sam has the bigger weapons, but Brian has the court smarts and know-how. </p>

The Blade tour in my opinion will offer better feel than the head prestige pro versions or classic. if you are a Novack Fan and you like his racquet you will love the Blade 98 with the 16m by 19C racquet with the 360 amplifeel handle technology.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>the Story of the steam 99s</p>
<p>Ok so I'm sitting there listening to marketing materials. Waiting to get on Court to test the racquet. Wilson explains that they test the RPMs of the ball using a Doppler radar that was designed for golf originally and was transformed to tennis. the Doppler radar accurately counts the RPM for the ball when hit with spin.</p>
<p>Now here comes the fun. the Counter play test racquet was a popular racquet with a player who may or may not be injured with knee problems currently. They gave me that racquet "air bolate" ( hehe) & i got about 2900 RPM with the Counter test racquet. my score of 2900 was higher than everyone there even the other players and coaches who used the steam 99s. Then they gave me the steam 99s and I got a 10% increase in Spin 3190 RPMs. my fastest shot was 85 MPH all forehands steam & air o BABYlatte. Now think... with a 10% increase of spin I was able to hit the ball Higher Deeper with more consistency, How will this help you, just imagine that you get 10% better, how much more can you win.</p>
<p>This racquet will be a major game changer for allot of tennis players male female & Juniors in 2013.</p>
<p>Now what sold me on this racquet isn't the marketing from Wilson, & not me being a Wilson guy. What Sold me was a miss hit that i made with the Steam 99s, that I was able to pull back in on the baseline using the steam 99s.</p>
<p>Ex. or what happened with the miss hit.</p>
<p>I had a shot where i didn't get close enough to the ball. I have a whipping trick that helps me add spin and pull the ball down and in sometimes. However this situation felt like one of those times where the ball will be just out and sail little long and it didn't to my surprise. The ball took a heavy curve down to hit the baseline.</p>
<p>I was thinking WOW i need a Tour version heavy like my Prostaff 90's. Wilson guys said no i cant have one and they will not make one, but i can lead tape it. ;'-( (boo hoo). </p>
<p>I feel that if i can get a 10% percent increase of spin on my ball i will make less errors, if i make less errors I will win more ( now all the Wilson marketing makes sense cause that's their marketing this year lol aka win more )</p>
<p>if you would like to order early or have more questions about how to string the racquet or anything related to the 2013 line ups for Wilson let me know. thanks for your time</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>
