Is the Laver Cup here to stay?
I enjoyed the Laver Cup a great deal and it culminated in a thrilling final day where Federer and Zverev had a topsy-turvy experience doubles and singles experience that resulted in Team Europe winning the tournament in the end. So…is the Laver Cup here to stay? The level of excitement the players bring to this […]
Buying a tennis racquet: Comfort vs Power
I wanted to spend some time on a common but important topic when you are interested in buying a tennis racquet: comfort vs power. It is easy to fall into the typical marketing jargon and be excited about getting more power on your shots. Sometimes this will result in injuries. Powerful racquets often mean stiff […]
Tecnifibre Tflash 300 Powerstab Racquet Review
It was high time for me to do a Tecnifibre Tflash 300 Powerstab racquet review. After all, this racquet has been out for about a year, and is the racquet of choice for long-time Tennis Warehouse play-tester, Chris Edwards. Looking at the specs, there is nothing out of the ordinary with the Tecnifibre Tflash 300 […]
Powerful racquets build bad habits
I have been play-testing the Tecnifibre Tflash Powerstab 300 and it has been an enjoyable play-test for me. The racquet is powerful, yet relatively comfortable so it is easy to generate both speed and spin. However, I have realized something about my game and tennis racquets: Powerful racquets build bad habits. This is a bold […]
Novak Djokovic wins the US Open 2018
Simply too good. That is the best way to describe Novak Djokovic (or should we say Novak “Djokowall”) after his impressive straight sets win 6-3 7-6 6-3 over Juan Martin Del Potro in New York. I am simply not surprised to write the words: “Novak Djokovic wins the US Open 2018”. Djokovic’s return from injury […]
Roger Federer’s Future in Tennis
I thought the headline Roger Federer’s Future in Tennis was dramatic enough to get some clicks. I am usually not a big fan of click baits, but after Federer’s loss to Millman at the US Open yesterday the question makes sense. It was the draw that scared the Fed fans beforehand, but after his straightforward […]
The Tennisnerd Racket of Choice Part 2
Not too long ago I wrote about my switch to the Babolat Soft Drive for competitive play. Since then I have been testing a few other racquets which have made me change my mind. So here is the Tennisnerd racket of choice vol 2! Loyal readers of this blog will know that a racquetholic changing […]
HEAD Graphene Touch Radical Limited Edition
I watched Taylor Fritz fight hard to win a five-setter against Mischa Zverev at the US Open and I could not help but notice his tennis racquet. Fritz is using an older HEAD racquet with the pro stock code 260.3, but the paint job at the US Open is likely a HEAD Graphene Touch Radical […]
Federer is practicing with his old racquet at the US Open
This might be seen as nonsense news to many of you, but it is always fun to speculate before the last Grand Slam of the year. After losing a poor final to Djokovic in Cincinnati, Federer is practicing with his old racquet (paint job) at the US Open. Why? A nice video of Federer practising […]
Pro player tennis shoes – not what you think
I have written plenty about pro player racquets, which often are painted to look like the latest racquet you would find in the store, but I have not really touched upon pro player shoes. The same thing applies to pro player tennis shoes, but not quite to the same extent as pro stock racquets. Pro […]
