Tennis !

What did you get out of interest ?

got a new racquet in December myself.. decided to listen to advice and got it strung at 54lbs.. came back to Bots and the ball was ballooning out the court.. restrung eventually at 57 and had a few hits tonight.. awesome. Apparently low tension in Bots is a bad idea.

..except I knocked around with a dude who moved to Bots at the same time I did and happened to go to a tennis academy in the States as a teen.. you now you are rubbish when you play someone who has at one time tried to see if he could go pro.

I replaced my old Wilson Prostaff with a Babolat. It’s quite a bit lighter so I picked up some grip tape just in case but I haven’t felt the need to add any more weight.
Volleying has improved dramatically.
Was surprisingly difficult to say goodbye to the old racquet—played all my competitive matches with that one

Got the Babolat aero myself.. just felt really good in my hand… 25 years.. technology must have moved mountains.. the new aero they say is far superior to the one even a couple years ago.. can’t imagine racquets going back that far.

Is it wrong to think that Sabalenka would destroy you in bed so you like her all the more?

Bigtime choke in that final game, that's got to hurt

Wow.
These kids have no fear do they..
Hell of a win against Sabelanka that.

I’m sure the telly will say, but have teenagers played eachother in a final before if Radacanu goes through ?

Tough little bugger.

Sakkari failing with 4 break points must play on her mind.

Some of these returns by raducanu are crazy

She might get to the final having not lost a single set, she has played 3 more matches than everyone else as well due to the qualifiers

I know your a sound poster, but you can’t be an Evertonian posting this mid game mate !!

Kinda annoying they pan to the parents every 2 seconds

Wouldn't want a right hook off Sakkari ma.

 

[BNJ1878]

Completely unfazed by the occasion so far.

Very impressive.
