Guesses: Tennisbum's New Profile Pic

Nice new pic Tony. I bet this is close-up of a picture you took recently. I think I see the stripes from a Babolat racquet there. Is this power shot from Nadal?

So, the old is a Donnay....

And the new, as I knew, is a Babolat. The Babolat has to be a dude right? I mean look at the power! Who has black strings?

Is the new Tsonga? He hits a powerful ball.

ok after watching the match last night, Rafa plays with black strings. So it is my man Rafa's racket smacking the h**l out of the ball.

It's gotta be either Tsonga or Nadal then. They're he only ones that I know that are using the RPM Blast black strings.

And the smoke starts to clear..........

New:

By the way, the old was shot @ 1/4,000 of a second & the new was shot @ 1/3,200 of a second.

Is that why the new is slightly blurrier. Or had you already had a margarita!

Who plays Donnay? Only person I know is Courier.

And I agree with the others that your new one has to be Nadal! Looks like a lefty forehand. And that massive topspin is deforming the top of the ball.

More power + slower shutter speed = slightly blurred racket in motion. Knowing it was shot at 1/3,200 of a second and still have racket movement tells one that it was a massive strike. And the poor deformed ball confirms it. ;-). I think it will still be slightly blurred if it was shot at 1/4,000 of a second.

Could it not be a backhand shot? ;-)
