Babolat Pure Strike – NEW line
The Babolat Project One 7 has ended and the new Babolat Pure Strike line has been revealed. Complete with FSI (Frame String Interaction, which means a tighter pattern in the sweet spot area) and everything. It sure looks great to me, but whether it plays a lot different than the previous Pure Strike remains to […]
Racquet review: Yonex DR 98
One of the highest reviewed tennis racquets on Tennis Warehouse and Tennis Express is the Yonex DR 98 with some play-testers calling it “one of the best tennis racquets they’ve ever reviewed”. I really enjoyed the Yonex Ai 98 (still have four of those although I mainly play with the Tecnifibre 315 ATP Ltd 16×19) and I really think the Yonex DR 98 is a […]
Is Novak Djokovic Losing his Game?
The last Grand Slam of the year is here – and even though Novak Djokovic may still be a favourite for many fans and professionals alike, it is impossible to deny that lately we have not been seeing the same man play. Now the world‘s #1 is still ridiculously far ahead with his ATP points standing at […]
Olympic gold to Andy Murray
After more than four hours of gruelling tennis, Andy Murray won his second Olympic gold medal after beating Juan Martin Del Potro in the final 7-5, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5. It was a thriller of a match, but you couldn’t help but feel that Murray, with his easier road to the final and outstanding physique, would outlast […]
What is so great about the AeroPro Drive Original?
This is a true icon among racquet nerds. But what is so great about the AeroPro Drive Original? I wish we could ask Rafa Nadal. What is so great about the AeroPro Drive Original? I’ve been wondering this question for quite a while. After all, this is the racquet Rafael Nadal still plays with, despite […]
Del Potro beats Djokovic in Rio Olympics
If you didn’t watch the match, try to find the highlights (sadly, due to Olympic airing rights, the highlight reel I saw previously has been removed). Del Potro was back to good old US Open 2009 form and his forehand was painting all corners in his massive 7-6 7-6 upset of the world number one […]
What’s New
Tennis is in a slightly “dead” period at the moment with many players traveling to the Rio Olympics to try to win a medal for their country. News reports from the games have mostly talked about Brazil’s flimsy economy at the moment, the players’ rough accommodations and every other article is another tennis player withdrawing from […]
Federer out for the rest of 2016
For most people this is old news, but I thought there was no way around making a post about it. A few days ago Roger Federer announced his departure from the 2016 season on his website: Dear Fans, I’m extremely disappointed to announce that I will not be able to represent Switzerland at the Olympic Games […]
New racquet for Federer – all black
The new design for the Wilson Roger Federer Autograph is revealed and it’s all black everything! Apparently Federer was involved in the design process himself and wanted something classy and timeless that moves away from the “busy” designs of the ATP tour. Personally I think they’ve succeded in crafting something really appealing visually (it’s also a great […]
Wimbledon 2016: Murray wins
Wimbledon is over for this year and I’m sure the home crowd is elated that Andy Murray won his second title and his third grand slam, again creating the feeling of the big four (edging Stan Wawrinka by one slam). Murray won a match that was never in doubt: 6-4 7-6 7-6. I predicted Murray as […]
