Can Stefanos Tsitsipas win the French Open?
The question is becoming more and more interesting: Can Stefanos Tsitsipas win the French Open? He has been fierce on clay in 2021. Rafa is the obvious favorite for the French Open title 2021, but there are a few key challengers to the title. Novak Djokovic is the clear top contender, but I initially thought […]
Popular Racquets Among the Pros
I often get questions about popular racquets among the pros, usually meaning pros that use commercially available retails molds The problem with the question of pros using retail racquets is that few to no high-level pros use racquets from the shop. They get so-called pro stock racquets sent to them from the brand they are […]
Yonex Ezone 98 Review
I have been play-testing the new Ezone 98 for a while and it’s been enjoyable. Here is my Yonex Ezone 98 Review. The Yonex Ezone 98 series is likely the bestselling Yonex racquet of all time (just guessing). With players such as Nick Kyrgios (Xi 98), Naomi Osaka (Ai 98), Marton Fucsovics (Dr 98), and […]
Indian Wells in October!
The ATP has announced some significant calendar updates, including a move of the Masters 1000 in Indian Wells to October! To watch ATP Masters tennis from Indian Wells in October is a pretty crazy idea, but arguably much better than canceling the event for a second year in a row. This will be a 2021 […]
Things to know about tennis racquets
I wanted to create a series of videos on the topic: Things to know about tennis racquets. This one deals with weight, swing weight & balance. Why I lumped them together into one video called “Things to know about tennis racquets” is because I often get the question: if the weight and balance of my […]
Iga Swiatek Wins Rome Masters with her New Racquet
Iga Swiatek wins Rome Masters with her new racquet, the Tecnifibre T-Rebound Tempo 285. It shows that the switch didn’t hurt her game. I wrote about Iga Swiatek’s new racquet here and speculated that switching racquets from her Prince Textreme Tour 290 that she won the French Open with, to a new brand and frame, […]
HEAD Instinct MP Review
I have been testing the new Instinct MP for a couple of weeks and here is my HEAD Instinct MP Review. Nice power frame. I should not really write HEAD Instinct MP Review because the full name of this racquet is HEAD Graphene 360+ Instinct MP. Graphene 360+ is referring to the material inside the […]
Player to watch: Lorenzo Sonego
The story of Lorenzo Sonego at the Rome Masters is over. But what a story it was! He sure is a player to watch. Lorenzo Sonego made it to the semi-finals of the Rome Masters after defeating Andrey Rublev and Dominic Thiem on the way there in hard-fought three-setters. He didn’t make it easy for […]
Is the WTA better than the ATP?
Yeah, it’s a headline for brevity. When I write “is the WTA better than the ATP?”, I mean – is it more interesting to watch at the moment? I’ve been thinking about this question because I haven’t paid much attention to the WTA since the days of Justin Henin-Hardenne, a player whose one-handed backhand was […]
Prince O3 Tattoo 290 Review
I got a few demos from Tennis Warehouse Europe a while back and one of them was Prince O3 Tattoo 290. Here is my Prince O3 Tattoo 290 Review. Prince makes the Prince O3 Tattoo 290 and 310 racquets as a part of a collaboration with Italian sports fashion brand Hydrogen. The brand has sponsored […]
