Toalson S-Mach Pro 97 310 Review
I had two Toalson racquets to review, the Forty Love and the S-Mach 97 310. The Toalson S-Mach Pro 97 is the most powerful. I don’t know the stiffness rating of the Toalson S-Mach Pro 97 310, but it’s a stiffer frame for sure with ample power. The feeling on impact is not quite as […]

It’s been a real mess this one and it’s hard to believe it’s over. But the news is out: Novak Djokovic is free to play the Australian Open. These are strange words to type: Novak Djokovic is free. But I had a feeling it would happen. The matter had snowballed into a breaking news item […]
Team Canada wins the ATP Cup
Team Canada wins the ATP Cup after defeating Spain in the final in two matches played by Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime. It’s not the biggest surprise that Canada wins the ATP Cup 2022, but they did have to win some tough matches against Russia and Spain.

Nadal is back to winning ways
Rafael Nadal is back to winning ways after defeating Maxime Cressy in the Melbourne Summer Set final 7-6 6-3. It was one of the matches that hung on a thread.

New racquets and new titles
The 2022 season has started with new racquets and new titles for Gael Monfils and Amanda Anisimova. Maybe also Shapovalov. I’ve done a few videos and posts about gear and apparel changes in 2022. Monfils took his new Artengo racquet and won the Adelaide ATP 250 in impressive fashion, defeating Khachanov in the final 6-4 […]
Serve and volley is alive in Maxime Cressy
Maxime Cressy has just reached his first ATP final in Adelaide. In the semi-finals he defeated Grigor Dimitrov in a hard-fought match. Watching Maxime Cressy play takes you back to the serve-and-volley days of tennis. He is using his large frame (1.98m / 6’6′) for a big serve and then a quick few steps towards […]
Tecnifibre TF40 2022
The Tecnifibre TF40 2022 is here. Three models, two in 16×19 and one in 18×20 string pattern. Is it as good as the original? The original Tecnifibre TF40 was a gem of a racquet. Nice feel, control, but still with a balanced power potential. A truly modern control racquet. Legendary play-tester Chris Edwards made it […]
How important is your tennis apparel?
I’m genuinely curious about this. How important is your tennis apparel? How much do you value looking good on the tennis court? It’s early in the 2022 season and we have seen plenty of pros switching brands when it comes to their apparel. Many recreational player buy tennis clothes based on what their pros use. […]
