ATP 250 Finals in Istanbul, Munich and Estoril
Tennis lovers have three interesting ATP 250 finals to look forwards to today as the 250 tournaments ahead of next week’s Madrid Masters 1000 comes to a close. In Istanbul we have Dimitrov, who seems to have find his form again, against the short but talented Schwartzman who loves playing on the red dirt, in […]
The Adidas Roland Garros Y3 Collection
The Adidas Roland Garros Y3 Collection is revealed and it looks like a zebra. Nike usually plays it quite safe during the grand slams (giving Dimitrov a sleeveless shirt for the Australian Open was maybe not safe, just not thought through properly) but Adidas is trying a different approach for this French Open. Maybe they […]
Solinco Hyper-G string review
I’ve been testing the new Solinco Hyper-G in my Prince TeXtreme Tour 95 for a few weeks and wanted to write a few thoughts down since a lot of people are curious about this co-poly string. Like most of you know, I test a lot strings and racquets, partly because it’s fun, partly because I’d like […]
Del Potro wins with new paint job
Juan Martin Del Potro is back on clay and won his first match against the erratic but often spectacular Dustin Brown. For racquet fans however, the biggest news is probably that he’s finally been “given” a paint job to endorse by Wilson. For a long time Del Potro used a Hyper Pro Staff 6.1 95 […]
Prince TeXtreme Tour 95 Review
Update: I have one for sale right now – e-mail helloATtennisnerd.net or comment if you’re interested. 100 euro with shipping included anywhere in the world. Cheers / J So I’ve been playing with this racquet for a few months and I have to say it’s a pure joy to hit with. I thought it would […]
Borna Coric new racquet: Yonex Ezone DR 98
Up-and-coming player Borna Coric has recently changed his racquet from the Yonex Vcore Tour F (not sure if that was the racquet he actually used or a paint job) to a Yonex DR 98. The Yonex Ezone DR 98 is one of the racquets I’m still curious about trying, partly due to the generous reviews it […]
Nadal stays winning
There’s something eerily familiar about this clay court season. The way Nadal started by winning Monte Carlo and the way he stays winning in Barcelona. Yesterday he took out familiar foe, Fabio Fognini in a solid performance and there’s only one real threat to the title in my view – an in-form Kei Nishikori. What’s […]
Nadal wins Monte Carlo Masters
I already stated that Rafa had started to look like the good old days here, but little did I know the level of flashback feeling I got when he rushed off to a 3-1 lead with both his forehand and movement looking like it was 2008. I thought the match would be over within the hour. But […]
It’s all about speed
There’s no doubt that the pace of the world is increasing and it’s also reflected in the game of tennis. You need to hit harder, swing faster for maximum spin and move at blistering speeds with shoes that are light as feathers. Brands are no longer talking about precision like in the days of the Prestige […]
Nadal back in form
The Nadal that was a pummelling players with his left hook of a banana whip forehand has been MIA. Suddenly, in what you can guess is one of his favourite tournaments on tour, he’s back and he looks ready for a ninth (!) title. Murray played well in the Monte Carlo Masters semi-final today, but […]
