Ex-Tennis Players Who Indulge in Poker
Tennis is a high skilled sport that takes commitment and determination to succeed. Similarly, to poker, tennis requires the right stamina, mental attitude, and a level of technical skill. It is no surprise that professional tennis players that have now retired their racket are turning to poker for a sense of competitiveness and thrill. There […]
HEAD Radical Pro 2021 Reveal
Yesterday I received an early Christmas present from HEAD. A HEAD Radical Pro 2021 with my name on it! Big thanks to HEAD for the early Christmas gift. I really liked the new Radical Prototype I reviewed, so this Radical Pro 2021 will have a special place in my tennis bag. PS. If other brands […]
Wilson Blade 102 SW Autograph Review
It’s a beast to swing, but when you play well it delivers! Here is my Wilson Blade 102 SW Autograph review. I felt hesitant about this Wilson Blade 102 SW Autograph review. Mainly because I am not used to playing with 28-inch length racquets, but also because the oversize head size (102 sq inches) will […]
Wilson Burn 100 V4 Review
I was never a fan of the Burn line. They always felt pretty stiff and unresponsive to me. But this Wilson Burn 100 V4 review surprised me. I play-test and review a lot of racquets every year. And many of them are in a similar spec range since the standard club player racquet has become […]
Wilson Blade Pro Review
A lot of people have asked about this, so I prioritized it :) Here is my Wilson Blade Pro review. Is it the H22? Yes, it is the H22 mold. But it does feel a bit stiffer than the H22 pro stocks I have tried. It’s not at all uncomfortable, but the feel is not […]

Head Radical 2021 Reveal
The HEAD Radical 2021 is revealed and it’s pretty orange. Pretty? Well, orange. Not as hot as the prototype, but… Readers of Tennisnerd know that I enjoyed both the visual and the playability aspect of the HEAD Radical 2021 prototypes. The new Radical design was revealed today to be a lot more orange than the […]
Interview with Andreas Bergen, Global Product Manager of Luxilon Strings
I had the good fortune to chat with Andreas Bergen, Global Product Manager of Luxilon Strings. We talk about strings, tensions, and a whole lot more. Andreas test strings and develop products for Luxilon strings. He has a broad role and in 2019 he had 120 tennis-related travel days. Luxilon is one of the legends […]
A Wish for Tennis in 2021
Anyone making predictions for when – or if – Roger Federer should finally retire from tennis usually ends up looking pretty foolish. The man has had several sporting obituaries, most notably around the middle of the last decade, when a raft of articles began to appear suggesting his time at the top was over. In […]
