Introducing Heysil Racquets
A while back I was approached by Jeffrey Yeh, one of the founders of Heysil Racquets. He wanted to send me some racquets for review. But due to COVID, it took quite a while to get the parcel from Australia, where Heysil is based, to Malta, where I am. A couple of weeks ago the […]
Rafa’s New Racquet Paint
What racquet is Rafa using in Rome? I have gotten that question a few times and here is my answer around Rafa’s new racquet paint. Nadal is tearing up his opponents in Rome in “good old gluten style” (bagels and breadsticks). He has not lost a step or his desire to win during this prolonged […]
Dunlop FX 500 Racquet Review
It’s time for Dunlop to release their third line in their “element series”. F stands for Force and this is my Dunlop FX 500 Racquet review. The Dunlop FX series is all about power as I wrote about in my preview post. I have appreciated all the recent Dunlop releases, from the CX 200 Tours, […]
And suddenly we’re in Rome…
The US Open has just ended and suddenly we’re in Rome for the Rome ATP Masters 1000. It’s great to have tennis back on, right? Rafael Nadal is back in action for the first time since the COVID break. It will be really interesting to see how he does in his first match in months. […]

Thiem Beats Nerves and Zverev for Grand Slam Title
I did not recognize Dominic Thiem last night. He was overcome by the moment and tied down by nerves. But in the end, he got through it to win his first grand slam title. I don’t think anyone could have predicted the first two sets of last night’s US Open 2020 Grand Slam final. Zverev […]
Four new ATP events
In a recent press release, the ATP has announced the addition of four new ATP events to the 2020 provisional schedule. The updated schedule included the back-to-back ATP 250 events in Cologne (Germany, Indoor Hard) that I wrote about in my previous Bett1HULKS post. And also two new ATP 250 events in Sardinia (Italy, Clay), […]
Men’s US Open Final 2020: Zverev vs Thiem
Will the Men’s US Open final 2020 include Alexander Zverev and Dominic Thiem? Most things point towards that. But… We have to remember that US Open 2020 has not been your average tournament. No crowds, no Rafa, no Federer, Djokovic defaulted, played in a bubble, and so on. Thiem and Medvedev have been the most […]
Tecnifibre Tfight RS 315 – First Impressions
I received the Tecnifibre Tfight RS 315 yesterday, strung it up, and took it for my first hit. Here are my first impressions. I wrote about the new Tecnifibre Tfight RS line here. The Tecnifibre Tfight RS 315 is the heaviest racquet in the line, but very maneuverable at a swing weight of 321 with […]

After the Bett1Aces the group expands its tennis portfolio with two tournaments under the name of Bett1HULKS in the LANXESS arena in Cologne, Germany. So […]
