  • Re: Are present day players taking drugs

    I didn't want to go into the megathread, from what I've read some people will agree with this, others will not. I really feel that Agassi, concerning the top players, is an isolated incident. From what I've read online, Agassi used meth in 1997 and quit after almost being suspended. I do feel that with all the testing since the 2000's has been ...

    Are you kidding me? Sean Connery wore a hair-peace&nbsp;since before&nbsp;Dr. No.

  • Re: isn't it strange that the players play EXHIBITIONS.... during this time?

    I don't think the season is too long. As a fan I like it when I can see tennis year-round. What I don't like though is making certain events mandatory. I like the approach Federer is taking, in that he takes enough time off during the year to keep playing his best. On the other side, it also gives players that need the money/ranking ...

  • Agassi admits use of crystal meth

    From the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/8329193.stm&nbsp;I'm sure the American media will be all over it as soon as the US wakes up. &nbsp; American Andre Agassi has admitted in his new autobiography he lied to tennis authorities about his use of crystal methamphetamine to escape a ban. Eight-time grand slam winner Agassi, who ...

  • Re: What is the best tennis movie?

    Piece of cake. His character was named Vijay, he even says that he has been working on his backhand or something. And the lame Game Set and Match line when he takes out a goon with a tennisracket. Too bad they killed him off...

  • Re: What is the best tennis movie?

    No good tennis movies. Wimbledon had a nice story, but the tennis scenes were god-awful, it really didn't look good. Can't believe that Pat Cash said he thought they looked okay. Plus, what the hell was up with playing the semi-final on an outside court? Tennis needs its Bull Durham. Nuff said.

  • Re: Andre Pavel has Retires from Professional Tennis

    Back on topic, also loved to see Pavel play. Will never forget how he drove more than 1000 km to visit his wife who had just delivered their second&nbsp;child during&nbsp;his quarterfinal of the 2002 French Open which had been interrupted due to rain.

  • Re: What players, past and present, would have been DelPo?

    To me, stylistically, he seems a bit like Safin. Big guy, big serve, big groundies. The match against Federer somehow reminds me of the 2005 Aussie Open semis. Safin beat Federer with his physical game and just broke through Federer. Seems like Del Potro did the same to the Fed in the US Open finals.

  • Re: Arrogant British Press US Open has much to learn from classy Wimbledon

    British press has to learn there is more tennis outside of Murray! Ever since the beginning of this year the BBC Sport has been somewhat exclusively covering Murray and seems to forget there are more players than Andrew... Every week they come with some kind of interview about how Murray is destined to win a Grand Slam etc. etc. Personally, I ...

  • Re: A more powerful serve.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but a more powerful serve usually comes from the flick of the wrist. Secondly, there is a reason that everybody is saying that a good serve comes from the legs. If you can jump higher, you have a higher point at which to hit the ball which gives you a better angle. Thirdly, you could try getting your racket strung more ...
