Djokovic and Becker part ways
It wasn’t a very surprising end to an amazingly fruitful partnership (six grand slam titles!), after all, not many star coaching relationships last longer than three years, but what is interesting is what is going to happen next with Team Djokovic? Marian Wajda will stay for sure, but will Djokovic want to add influence from […]
Asics Gel Resolution 7 Tennis Shoes
Finally my personal favourite among tennis shoes, the Asics Gel Resolution 6, has received an update with the Asics Gel Resolution 7. I have played with other versions of the Asics Gel Resolution too and they’ve all been good, with some slight differences in the fit of the shoe. What I really enjoy is the […]
Wilson Burn with Countervail
Wilson Tennis is using the Holiday season to release some new products. Beside the new Wilson RF Legacy All Court ball, they are soon releasing the new Burn line (took over from the Steams) with Countervail.

Wilson has managed to find that nice blend between control and power in a racquet that is relatively easy to play with but also not too harsh on your arm, which could be the […]
The Federer Serve in Slow-mo
I have been lucky enough to watch the maestro Roger Federer serve up a close a few times and like with all his shots, it really is a fluid motion he displays. However it is not very easy to copy and if you would model your serve on a player I think his countryman Stanislas […]
Ilie “Nasty” Nastase wrote novels
Until three days ago I had no idea that Romanian ex-tennis star Ilie “Nasty” Nastase wrote novels. But I was walking around Valletta, the capital city of Malta and found myself in a small used book store. I like those kind of places partly due to the old-book-smell, but also because I genuinely love books and […]
Babolat VS Touch Natural Gut Review
I had heard so many good things about pairing my Tecnifibre Tfight 315 ATP Ltds (16×19 string pattern) with natural gut mains and poly string in the crosses that I simply had to try it. My usual setup is with my favourite poly string Solinco Hyper-G 16L at 22 kg, but if you’re a gear […]
