A lot of players choose their racquets based Tennis Warehouse reviews. This is not a stupid idea, since I think their reviews are usually quite spot on, but it’s obviously a good idea to test the racquet yourself before you commit to a particular model. After all, a new tennis racquet isn’t cheap. If you can get a lightly used one, you’re usually better off. Anyway, a racquet who gets …
It’s not a simple quest. For me it’s almost eternal. I’m never completely happy with my frame – it almost feels like my tennis soul never will find peace. As I’m writing in “My Tennis Racquets” I’m currently playing with the Head IG Prestige MP and the Wilson Pro Staff Six.One 90 BLX but I can’t really make up my mind.

It’s kind of fitting, I think, to give who many used to call “Baby Federer” a Take That-inspired headline. I and hopefully and most probably a big chunk of the tennis world wants Richard Gasquet to stay in the top and keep playing well. If only for that beautiful one-handed backhand of his. His two recent wins against Federer and Berdych in the Rome Masters, both coming after losing the …
