Tennis Chump: August 2009
http://tennischump.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Trials and tribulations of a recreational tennis player. In the last few weeks I've been enjoying watching some of the fantastic hard-court action in the buildup to the US Open which starts next week, It always amazes me how hard the pros hit the ball, but still with such a high level of consistency. It's obviously a result of extremely good hand-eye co-ordination coupled with hours out on the practice courts. I'm sure it would make a huge difference to my game. Who do you think's going to win, and why?

Trials and tribulations of a recreational tennis player. The Importance of Mental Fitness in Tennis. Flexibility is the next component. Physical flexibility allows you to get into different positions in order to react to whatever shot is being sent your way. Mental flexibility does the same, though instead of being able to stretch your body, you can stretch your mind. You could look at this time of flexibility as creativity and the ability to control your emotions throughout the game. No matter how physi...

Trials and tribulations of a recreational tennis player. What a difference a year makes. Fast forward to 2010 and the two met again in the quarter finals, but this time Soderling was like that kid who'd had sand kicked in his face by the bully, then gone away and worked out so he could take revenge the next time they met. His powerful serve and groundstrokes were simply too much for Federer to handle today and Soderling won in four sets. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). That's chump as in.

Trials and tribulations of a recreational tennis player. Hawk-Eye's impact on tennis. Who remembers John McEnroe's famous "You cannot be serious! Rant at Wimbledon 1981 when disputing a close line call with the officials? That, and many other similar incidents involving any number of other players throughout the years have provided an interesting sideshow to the tennis action. But when was the last time you saw such a heated exchange over a close line call? Tennis is a team sport. Team sports also have a...

Wilson Tennis Rackets: The racket of racket paintjobs
http://wilsontennisrackets.blogspot.com/2009/11/racket-of-racket-paintjobs.html
The racket of racket paintjobs. We all know that tennis pro's get paid millions of dollars a year to use a particular manufacturer's rackets, right? And not just any old racket, but usually the latest model that the manufacturer is promoting for the season. So does that mean the players are constantly changing the racket they play with? Well, you might be shocked to discover that the answer is - no! In fact, it is common practice for players to get the rackets they play with custom-painted to. Manufactur...

MetaYak: Which is harder, a slap shot or a tennis serve?
http://metayak.typepad.com/metayak/2009/01/which-is-harder-a-slap-shot-or-a-tennis-serve.html
All about yaks, and more. January 26, 2009. Which is harder, a slap shot or a tennis serve? Yesterday Zdeno Chara won the hardest slap shot contest. At the NHL All Star game with a 105 mile per hour slap shot. But I remember hearing that a tennis serve can top 150 miles per hour (Andy Roddick, 155 miles per hour). That sounds really fast! Could it be that there exists a tennis player who is stronger than Big Z, the monstrous 6 foot 9 Slovakian hockey player with the legendary workout ethic?
