Any beginner tennis players in Salem, OR?

Hello,

I just moved in Salem a couple of months ago, and I need to find a tennis partner. I'm just a beginer, so you don't hope that I can keep the ball in forever.

Feel free to send me a message if you are interested.

Tennis Court Drills to Improve Quickness

One of the easiest ways to improve your tennis game is to work on your footspeed and movement on the court with Tennis Court Drills. We don’t have to spend a TON of time working on this, because a little

each week will dramatically improve our movement.

Here’s a simple but very effective drill we can do either on the court or at our homes that takes just a few minutes to complete. It’s called the Tennis T-Shuffle Drill:…

Anyone for Tennis in Lincoln Square at Welles Park (Montrose/Lincoln)?

Hello,

I am looking for people who are looking to play tennis and hopefully in the process improve their game/use the time to get a good work out in. I am intermediate and probably a 3.0. I play a couple times a week but would like to play as often as possible. I hate gyms so this is my time to really take advantage of the great weather and have some fun as well.

Looking for fun, worldly people who don't obsess with checking facebook and iphones…

Rita Hakam at ritahakam@yahoo.com

Hey Guys,

I think this Rita Hakam is a scam, so be careful. She might not be local. Her profile says she's from Dakar, Senegal which is a country in Africa. She emailed the same message to like 8 or more guys here and said nothing about tennis. If you respond then she can get hold of your email address and who knows what's next. It's up to you. Just a warning.

Keep It Going, JB!

That was a tough loss for James Blake to Feliciano Lopez this evening in Los Angeles.

I assume, though, Blake must be thinking that a quarterfinal run at a tournament never felt so good. With his recent run of bad form, pretty much brought on by injury, the threat of the "R" word has popped up a lot coming from him in the past few months. He's definitely one of the veterans on tour now and his body has had some wear and tear put on it. But Blake's forehand and even-slightly diminished… Continue

Two Sports in One? Tennis Live vs. on TV

After a prolonged sojourn in Europe, live tennis returns to California with tournaments in Stanford and San Diego. While we prepare to visit those consecutive events, we reflect upon a few of the most striking differences between the spectator experience on TV and at the venue. Be aware that these comments are highly subjective, so a different observer might leave a…

Is Scheduling Still Keeping Nikolay Davydenko From Winning a Slam?

So aside from the tournament in Atlanta this week, the men are also playing at the German Open in Hamburg, where Nikolay Davydenko is the top seed and defending champ. He's still trying to work his way back into form after missing months out of the season due to injury.

But what I'm wondering is that instead of playing in Hamburg, should he be down in Atlanta gearing up for the U.S. Open? Or if getting a jump on the hard courts isn't his priority, should he just be taking off this… Continue

A weekend supporting tennis sponsors, sort of

INDIAN WELLS,CA- MARCH 11: Chanda Rubin of the USA and Anastasia Myskina from Russia open the door of a Whirlpool refrigirator filled with tennis balls as Larry Scott Chairman and CEO of the WTA Tour looks on at the announcement of Whirlpool as the WTA premiere European sponsor at the Pacific Life Open on March 11, 2004 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California. (Photo by Robert Laberge/Getty Images)

A friend of mine recently remarked that for all my talk of supporting tennis, he has never seen me consciously make the decision to support tennis sponsors. Sure I buy tennis rackets (and I have a bone to pick with Steffi and Andre about that piece of crap called “the Youtek Three Star” that Head put out with their endorsement -- but I digress).… Continue

Those who can’t, teach?

NEW YORK - AUGUST 31: Scoville Jenkins hits a shot to Rafael Nadal of Spain during the second round of the US Open at the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on August 31, 2005 in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)

...In my history of being obsessed with everything tennis, Scoville Jenkins remains the only tennis player for whom I flew all the way to Costa Rica. Now granted I also went to see that beautiful country and have my first experience of sliding down tree tops. But I also went to see Scoville. The event was the Copa Del Café. He didn’t win. But I witnessed… Continue
