know the deal. I think the problem comes, when you try to hit the ball

like for example federer. You are so eager to make it… Continue

The last time Lleyton Hewitt beat Roger Federer was in 2003, in Melbourne Australia. That was a long time ago.

I mean it must be so hard to be Hewitt at a time like this, homeground, cheered on by the whole crowd. This is your chance, this is your turn to show the world that you can do it, you really can.

Valiantgame is back!

How on earth will the cheaters win now?

...It’s gotten so that you can sometimes have a hard time telling who’s really hurting and who is pretending to hurt. It’s unfair to pick on them because they are not the only ones, but certainly both Del Potro and Almagro are among the players who have been accused by many of playing unfairly. Almagro famously took a medical time out for leg cramping just before serving to… Continue

What's Offense and Defense?

Singles has moments when you're on offense and can attack and moments when you're on defense and can't.

2010 is shaping up nicely for women’s tennis

...Not to be outdone, 15-year-old Laura Robson did her part to try to bring the Hopman Cup home to England, defeating Spain’s Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez in straight sets. After her sweet interview, Robson looked on expectantly as Andy Murray took on Tommy Robredo.

2. Slightly bend both knees

3. Place your right ankle on your left knee

4. Slowly bend your left knee and Lower… Continue
