Wimbledon R1 2017: Wawrinka and Kyrgios out
Injury problems plagued an otherwise nice first day of tennis at Wimbledon 2017. My draw predictions got hit badly when Wawrinka and Kyrgios left the tournament early. The player of the day was young Daniil Medvedev (read about his Tecnifibre racquet here) who looked very confident in his 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 win against Stan Wawrinka […]

Is it the Racquet?
You’re not playing as well as you should. Timing is off and you might feel that your racquet is too sluggish or not stable enough. Is it your game or is it the racquet? How often do you get these kind of thoughts? I get them from time to time and that’s why I’ve been […]
