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 […]
Wilson Racquets Preview: Blade Pro, Blade 102 SW, Burn 100
Here is a new Wilson racquets preview. It covers the Blade Pro, Blade 102 SW Autograph and Burn 100 V4, and Clash 100 Pro. I will be reviewing these racquets one by one, likely starting with the Blade Pro, as that is the one most people ask about. I have already done a preview post […]
Interview with Roman Prokes
I recently talked to a legend in racquet customization. He worked with Agassi for a long time and changed Novak’s racquet into what it is today. Here is my interview with Roman Prokes. You are one of the true legends of racquet customization. Do you ever get bored with your job? No, I don’t even […]
Lacoste L20 Racquet Review
Lacoste is not a brand you associate with tennis racquets these days. But now they have released a racquet called Lacoste L20. The Lacoste L20 is a racquet created together with Tecnifibre.

Medvedev wins the ATP Finals – As Predicted!
It’s time to pat myself on the back a little bit. Because before the ATP Finals started, I picked Daniil Medvedev to win. And he did. It was arguably not a crazy prediction considering that he won the ATP Masters in Paris, but he still had to defeat Novak, Rafa, and Thiem to get it […]

It’s not a good idea to obsess over pro player racquets, but knowing them can be fun. So here are the racquets of the ATP Finalists 2020. I don’t know the exact details for all the racquets of the ATP Finalists 2020, but this is what is known among stringers and customizers. If you are […]
Making the Switch – with Daniel Rutkowski
Are you making the switch? I consulted my friend Daniel Rutkowski on finding a new racquet and we made an in-depth video about his new frame. Daniel Rutkowski was featured in this post/video about his previous racquet, the Prince Phantom 93P that he had extended and customized with Ring&Roll. He wanted a bit more power […]

My regular contributor and friend, Henrik Wallensten, is back. This time with a Babolat Pure Drive Racquet Holder x12 Bag Review. You know for sure that when a new racquet is launched, it will also come with a new bag. The bag is an essential part of the equipment for me. I have an absurd […]
