I consider you a buddy so don't read this the wrong way. I don't give two flying Fs about how he plays or whether he has injuries etc. When you learn this game at a certain age, everything is so much harder that people like Der_Echte, Carl and myself and walking miracles. And to get the...

Hey, it's bad form to mock people for venturing their opinions if the mocking rocks them the wrong way so I apologize. Your response just showed a bit of inexperience looking at the games of adult players. Der_Echte's response was appropriate and identified the salient issues. I would venture...

Carl the Necromancer!

Wow, you called me out! That apology was legit - I just wanted to see the photos! How dare you! :mad:;)

I don't know how anything I posted on this thread can be seen as support of either of you guys. But in any case, I thankfully do know sebas's history on other websites so I will not be fooled. Though some other nut cases might be. P-Nutcases.

Pnatchwey, You were the same guy who wrote that ARB was not trolling. That pretty much sums up how seriously your evaluation of people should be taken. NL

Looks like ML and ZJK are in the same half of the draw - I guess Germany wanted a finalist ;).

No, no. Don't mix or vary - just SPIN everything! If the ball is high, spin drive or heavy topspin with precise placement. If the ball is low, heavy topspin. Forget flat strokes. Spin everything. Spin the ball slowly - let your opponent stare at the ball. Most people like you (and I...

I think necax007 who was complaining about your footwork needs to stop using cut and paste... Your movement and athleticism is pretty good and excellent for an amateur adult and it will only improve as your strokes and anticipation gets better. The biggest thing is to play with more spin as...

Booooo.... shameless plug... flattering the heckler... point deduction...

Actually, in tennis, 3 and 4 are dropped in randomly into different halves. So either 1 v 3 and 2 v 4 or 1 v 4 and 2 v 3 is possible. In a pure snake seed, it is 1 v 4 and 2 v 3. In the random version, only 1 and 2 are not in the same half. 3 and 4 are randomly put into different halves...

IT depends on how they put the 3 and 4 seeds. My guess is that they should be on opposite sides of the draw unless it is not a pure snake seed. I mean, does Germany really want Dima playing Boll in a potential semis?

bobpuls, you are too funny....:D

Who is the greatest player you ever saw and why?

I will focus on your backhand. I would recommend the following: 1) Change your backhand rubber - it is too hard. You need something you can swing easily with. Try Tenergy 80 FX or Tenergy 80. 2) Get your backhand technique better - usually, when you lack confidence in your backhand, it is...

You have an interesting index finger position on the racket - how did you start holding the racket like that and what are the advantages and maybe disadvantages? What is the best way to review videotape of a match you or someone you coached has played in detail - is there a process you use...

Hi, Takkyu. How long have you been playing for and how do you want to play? There are a lot of things anyone can improve. But the beginning is always a decision on how you want to play. Sometimes, how long you have been playing for is important as well as a lot of the game is about...

Amazing comeback in game 3 by Shmyrev... power vs. consistency - great final!

If you are in the USA, espn3.com has a livestream. http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/_/id/2743027/size/condensed/

A 2500 player said that I was basically speaking nonsense and that the IF ZLC (my main blade), Vega Pro and Vega Tour all play significantly differently. So I probably have terrible touch.;)
