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.;)

Oh, here is some secret footage you may or may not like - it's the last thing I have though - what I usually have is just my matches.

Hahaha... Hello, David. Anyone who wants to know how good this kid really is, I have some secret footage:

I have this blade. My problem is not the quality but what it offers over the Vega Pro. Other than being made of hinoki, this blade performs not that differently from the Vega Pro and is more expensive. That was what affected my initial reviews of the blade and made them negative. I have...

According to a thread on mytt, each country can send four players to the trials and there shall be rounds of qualification with each round taking a player from each of the Asian regions (ITTF demarcates 5). The current entrants are the Chinese top 4 for China so ZJK is very much in the...

I have the Butterfly Amicus. I wish it was easier to program but in terms of realistic play, nothing comes close that I have seen.

Here is my indirect evidence - my reaction to forehand dominant loopers has significantly improved since I started playing the app. But its probably just a placebo effect. I still can't track anyone's backhand though.

I played with Andy today. Andy's come a long way since the early days. His strokes on both sides are sound and players who give him a chance to rally (loop, hit, block) are going to have their hands full. It's amazing that his blocks are so high level in such a short time but I really...

Thanks, man. I did have a 4 year playing experience advantage so that counts for something. Crazy Australian coaches have also retooled my serve game so it's much trickier than it used to be. ;) Hopefully we can do it again if/when either of us crosses continents again.

Played at fusion today, Andy tomorrow. Didn't record matches but they had some good players. I caused some trouble so one of their juniors gave me trouble - damn youth. But I think I did okay. A coach there said I have good technique on both sides - first time I remember someone complimenting...
