In a short while I am going to post two videos.  Radha aged 9, is going to attempt the first serve of her life. As a coach who really values teaching beginners, its great when you can start a kid properly.  When you inherit a player who was not taught well, or simply struggled for whatever reason with the serve, it takes a bit longer for them to learn the ideal pattern.  It's ok, its what we do.  Videos coming soon!

I strung my Prestige Mid at 61 lbs., ALU Power on the mains, synthetic gut on the crosses  (I had previously used these strings but in reverse -- ie, the synthetic gut was on the mains and the ALU Power was on the cross).  At first, this new set up felt like I was hitting the ball with a brick.  Despite exerting a tremendous amount of effort, my balls were barely going past the service box.  It was rough getting used to. Eventually, after about maybe thirty minutes or so, the strings started…

So, I'll be test driving different strings (or combination of strings) at varying tensions each month to (1) get a better idea of the strings that are out there, (2) get a feel for different tensions and (3) see what works best for me.  To date, I've basically been stringing Prince sythentic gut on the mains and Luxilon ALU Power or Rough on the crosses (like Roger, except he uses natural gut on the mains which is a little cost prohibitive for me).  I usually tension my strings at 62 lbs…

DURING a flamboyant career, French star Yannick Noah raised eyebrows with his athleticism, dare and flair on court.

But it is his accusations in a French newspaper last year alleging widespread doping among Spanish tennis players that, while inflaming tempers across the border, have some relevance to a development in New York this week.

"How can a…

When Roger Federer lost to Tomas Berdych in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open, it was a massive shock to the tennis world. The fact the world was so surprised to see Roger go down to Berdychis a clear demonstration of exactly how well Federer has done this season in returning to form.

In 2012, Roger Federer has reached the quarterfinals in all four Grand Slams, played three…

seven seven three 682-8483.  I'm about a 4.0 player who wants to hit around Humboldt or UIC.

Also, I guess this is a blog post. So my two cents: "About friggin' time, Andy Murray. And congrats."
