Tennis drives me crazy
The 2nd part of my mental tennis session with Filippo and Andrea from Mental Tennis is out on YouTube. It’s called “Tennis drives me crazy”. Tennis is a wonderful sport and I have great love and respect for it. But sometimes tennis drives me crazy. It can be extremely frustrating when things don’t go to […]
The Best 95 sq inch racquets on the market
Is the 95 sq inch racquet going extinct? Not yet! Here are the best 95 sq inch racquets on the market today. Around 15-20 years ago, 95 sq inch racquets dominated. Racquets like the HEAD Pro Tour, Wilson Six One 95 and the Dunlop 200 Muscleweave were all used by both pros and club players. These […]
Christian Garin’s Racquet Changes
When you think about Christian Garin’s racquet changes you start to wonder how he is doing mentally. Results-wise, not great. The 25-year-old from Chile has a 3-5 win-loss record in 2022 and his recent losses to Alejandro Tabilo and Federico Coria, were not too pretty. Maybe we can read something from his Garin’s recent racquets changes? […]
Mental tennis training session
I’ve spent the past week in Marbella and besides work, tennis and meetings, I also had a mental tennis training session with Filippo and Andrea from Mental Tennis. This mental tennis training session was a follow-up to the mental training sessions over Zoom we had done over the past year. I had experienced great benefit […]
Zverev Meltdown
The tennis news media has been all about the Zverev meltdown in Acapulco in the last 24 hours. What happened? The Zverev meltdown is nothing new. Mr Zverev is known to be a little bit of a hothead. And, not to forget, he has an abuse allegation from his former girlfriend Sharypova still pending to […]
Azarenka on TopCourt
The ATP official partner of online tennis learning, TopCourt has announced their latest pro player videos. How good is Azarenka on TopCourt? I was surprised how well Nick Kyrgios worked on the TopCourt online tennis learning platform. It’s fascinating to see how certain players transcend the platform and just “work”, while others fall a bit […]
Naomi Osaka’s Strings
Thanks to fellow tennis nerd Sebastian, the question mark around Naomi Osaka’s strings was solved. Sebastian sent me a direct message on Instagram with a zoomed-in photo of Naomi Osaka’s strings. I had previously re-posted and featured this exact picture, but stupidly, I had not zoomed in to check the writing on the strings. Thanks […]
Tecnifibre TF40 2022 Racquets Review
I have previously reviewed the Tecnifibre TF40 2022 16×19 305g. This review deals with the other Tecnifibre TF40 2022 Racquets. There are four Tecnifibre TF40 2022 racquets released in 2022. Two string patterns: 16×19 and 18×20 and two weights: 315g and 305g unstrung. The mold and layup is otherwise the same for all four racquets. […]
Carlos Alcaraz is a future world number one
Carlos Alcaraz is a future world number one. His display at the ATP 500 in Rio de Janeiro is a demonstration of his talent and determination. You should be careful about getting too excited about new players. We have seen it on the ATP and the WTA Tour over and over again. The media hypes […]
Tennisnerd Mixed bag
I created a new segment as an experiment called “Tennisnerd mixed bag”. The idea is to combine stories and news I find interesting. Things I discuss in the first Tennisnerd mixed bag episode: Why is there a car on the tennis court in Delray Beach? Why is Basilashvili carrying a Pure Drive in his bag? […]
