Target Your Tennis Serve

Placing your serve is critical in doubles. If you are hitting short weak serves or serves to your opponent's strong side, you leave your partner vulnerable to attack at the net or you allow your opponent to control the points off the return.

You can remedy this by choosing a target and working on keeping your serve deep in the service box (except for the wide serve which should be placed shorter in the box). You will begin to control and win more points if you have good placement of… Continue

I could have won 26 grand slam events if I played modern day tennis!!!!!!!

Hey Folks,

Yes, federer has wond 16 slams and Nadal a bunch as well. But remember, back in the late 1970's thru 1980's, there wasnt a tennis court in america that wasnt taken.. Tennis was at an all time popularity and I remember WAITING to play . The junior competition was flooded with players. Nowadays, you go to a local court and you hear crickets and the nets are falling off!!!! (at least here in the states)

I hear excuses about how the racquet technology has…

Was It A Mistake to Allow Non Wooden Rackets?

Did the ruling bodies make a mistake by not regulating the size and content of tennis rackets? In the late 60's and early 70's nobody had ever thought of using anything other than wood for playing tennis. So when Connors strolled on with a metal racket, the regulatory bodies did not know what to do as there was no rule against it.

But were they too slow to react? Have we lost some of the skill and artistry of the game and sacrificed it to the skill of the manufacturer, where… Continue

Kimiko Date Krumm and the Irritation Inducers

How does she do it?

One of the craziest comeback stories in women's tennis keeps rolling along as Kimiko Date Krumm knocked off Maria Sharapova at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo, mere hours before she hits the big 4-0.

Now looking at it on paper, you'd think Sharapova would be able to blast Date Krumm off the court, but obviously that's not the case because what Date Krumm lacks in power she makes up for with flat, penetrating groundies that can give a lot of players fits in… Continue

THAT'S What Davis Cup Is All About!

I love Davis Cup.

However, after last year's final, for the first time, <a href="http://www.tennistalkanyone.com/2009/12/something-you-probably-thought-youd.html">I started to have a little doubt about Davis Cup creep in</a>. The tie between Spain and the Czech Republic was so bereft of drama that I barely tuned into it.

But this weekend, my friends, wiped out any and all concerns I had about my favorite sporting event. From the World Group semis to the playoff… Continue

Anybody want to hit?

I'm new to Portland and don't know very many people here, especially people who play tennis. I'm about a 3.5ish now but used to be a 4.0 so that could come back. I don't know where any courts are around here but I live downtown so I'm pretty much willing to go anywhere to hit around... Let me know!

The Beauty of Tennisopolis

This is how Tennisopolis works. Any questions? :-)
Just like a high school dance, the best way to get a partner is by stepping up and saying "Hi".
