One Strings Carbon NRG String Review
I’ve previously reviewed the new Italian racket brands spin model Spindeeper 300 which was a very pleasant surprise and proved that you can be innovative and “new” in the congested tennis gear market. Now I have also thoroughly tested their top-of-the-line tennis string, the One Strings Carbon NRG. It’s a soft black co-poly created mostly for […]
Tennis and Tradition
I’ve read a few articles saying that tennis needs a change – first we had the Guardian asking whether it was time to abolish the second serve and in the end recommending it for a faster game and in Tennis Magazine we had regular columnist Peter Bodo saying that the world could do with a […]
Bucharest & Barcelona = Dimitrov & Nishikori
It’s simple math. Two tournaments = two winners and in Barcelona and Bucharest we, not surprisingly (if you count on Nadal’s loss to Almagro of course!), had two young guys knocking on the top 10 door, Grigor Dimitrov and Kei Nishkori. Nishikori jumps up to 12th place now and Dimitrov to the 13th. Well-deserved for […]

Wavrinka Beats Federer & Wins Monte Carlo Masters
It was the first all-Swiss final in since 2000 when Rosset beat Federer and again Federer had to be the runner-up after Wavrinka came back from a first set loss with the scoreline: 4-6 7-6 6-2 in Wavrinka’s favour. For a Fed fan every loss hurts, especially when it’s in tournaments he’s never won before, […]

Great instructive video from Wilson Innovation Centre and Tennis Warehouse on how to make a tennis racket. Interesting stuff! Who wouldn’t want one of those blacked-out frames? Head’s version of how a tennis racket is made:
All-Swiss Final – Federer vs Wavrinka
It’s the first time since Federer lost to Rosset in Marseille 2000 that we have an all-Swiss final on the ATP Tour. That will take place after Wavrinka played a solid match in beating a likely tired David Ferrer 6-1 7-6 and an inspired Federer killed the hopes of the Serbian fans with his 7-5 […]
