Technique is important - but so is feel

Without using the right technique, it is not possible to become anything special in tennis or even evolve as a tennis player. We all have to learn the correct techniques, we have to learn how to hit the ball and when to hit it. When to hit cross court and when it is okay to go for a clean down the line shot. When to approach the net.... you 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 look elegant and beautiful and y… Continue

Tennis Is Funny Sometimes

Five-and-a-half years? I could do that standing on my head: Try 20 and we'll talk!

Feliciano Lopez won his first title in more than five years at the South African Open, beating Stephane Robert in the finals in straights. His game has some holes in it (mainly that topspin backhand), but he does have a lot of versatility that should've resulted in more than two tournament wins to this point. But I can't be too hard on the guy, because in a way, I really relate.

Murray and Robson will need to rise above the negative British Press...

I write these words on an unusually sunny morning in a coffee bar overlooking a serene and sparkling Ramsgate harbour in the garden of England, Kent, the location and inspiration for such literary greats as Charles Dickens, T.S Eliot and the master painter Turner. On the last day in January the British public held their breath and the world watched eagerly as two great artists walked onto the tennis world stage in the first Grand Slam final of the year in Melbourne, Australia. Contesting his 22… Continue

Men's 2010 Aussie Final

Murray played phenomenally throughout the tournament, so it was no surprise that he got to the final. Whereas the former champion Nadal was definitely not at his best and it was disturbing to see him pull out with yet another injury and it does make one wonder about his future in the sport. Federer had an amazing run as usual, and I honestly thought the final was pretty routine until the third set when Murray seemed to come alive and really began taking it to Fed. It was too little too late howe… Continue

The unofficial guide to USTA league ratings (1.0 to 7.0)

Some people may be confused with the USTA league ratings (1.0 to 7.0) so here is the unofficial guide. 1.0 - You stink. Your grabbing the wrong end of the racquet and you think the green fuzz on the ball has something to do with velcro. 1.5 - You still stink, but you can tie your own tennis shoes and hit a ball you have got in your hand towards one of the cardinal points without hitting yourself in the leg. 2.0 - You have taken a few lessons, and the odour is fading. Your strokes begin to… Continue

Australian Open Men's Semifinal 2 - Preview

It is almost insurmountable a task to beat Roger Federer when you are down 5-1 in the decider. Yet, a certain French Gentleman found the will and the determination to do just that and showed the world that he has arrived. We are talking about ATP star Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who last year registered the biggest win of his career at Montreal Masters where despite trailing 1-5 in the decider, he bounced back to beat Swiss Maestro Roger Federer in a gruelling tie-break.

Live: Serena Williams vs. Na Li

Serena Williams is one of the few players on the circuit who takes defeat, any defeat very seriously and no matter what the stage, she brings her best efforts to prove her supremacy over someone who has been 'troublesome' in the past. Similar is the case with her match-up today with Chinese wonder-woman Na Li, who literally pushed her to limits in their previous encounter last year and with a win over Venus Williams, is an opponent with a CONCERN.… Continue
