Pro Tennis Talk 1 year ago · updated 1 year agoThat was quick! Eep, my Milos-watch in Rome is over already. I’d like to say he needs to work on his tournament-to-tournament stamina rather than wonder if he’s been struck by another injury. Like Ben mentioned, he should be competitive on grass. Can’t wait!!
-
Had Raonic beaten Florian Meyer, he would have faced Nadal in the second round. Egad! Get out of the 20s, Milos!
-
Ha ha I know! Fed twice, could have been Nadal, and Murray as well. All in the first couple rounds!
-

i think slow clay courts dont help his game. The faster blue clay courts suit him, so does the hard courts and obviously grass. Not sure if he can do big in grass, since he had injured previously at Wimbledon last year.

Pro Tennis Talk 1 year ago · updated 1 year agoSooo close for Milos! Gutted, but very happy for him. Creating 8 chances to break Roger is no small feat!
-
yes, it was very close. This is his biggest problem now. Find a way to close out on opportunities. I think this will come eventually.
-
Baby steps! ;-)
-
Agreed. At this time last year, he wouldn’t have come as close as he did. He just keeps on making strides every tournament!
-
Man, I can’t wait until he gets closer to top 10. His early-round opponents are brutal! A chicken-egg situation.
-
Agreed! He usually ends up playing someone in the 10 ten by the second round. He’s been doing alright though. He’ll get Fed’s number one of these times though. I see it on grass!
-
Fingers crossed and a better pair of grass-court shoes!

Pro Tennis Talk 1 year ago · updated 1 year agoIs it a case of ”he who whines least, wins”? Fed is clay-crushing Tipsarevic, doesn’t seem to have the clay court blues like Nole unt Rafa.
-
Yeah, everyone has a rough week at the office. Too bad it doesn’t suit to every player’s likings but time to get over it. I think Fed has this one in the bag.
-
To me, Nole and Rafa thought bad things would happen. And then they did. Roger goes about his business, adjusting to the slippery clay, and he’s gonna win. Definitely in the bag. And Top 2 as the cherry. A big deal before the French. Of course, I hope Rafa takes it back before then.

I think Fed may edge Berdych, since he is playing well too. It will be a three set match. The way Berdych played today against Delpo shows that he has improved a lot.
I love the blue clay, I hope this stays on and moves on to other clay courts. Ofcourse, technology keeps changing, they will find a way to make it more like red clay, the beauty of…[Read more]-
Sheesh, did Berdych play well or what! He looked extremely focused – that doesn’t happen consistently, though.
Fast surface, short rallies, blue in colour = hardcourts! Leave me my pokey iron oxide 6 weeks out of the year. ;-)

I think this argument applies more to Rafa than Nole. Novak is a cat out there – his movement and his flexibility should have been bonuses on the slick surface. Roger’s movement, of course, is his very special gift. His ability to think he can win always and on all surfaces – slippery or no – is also his special gift.

Pro Tennis Talk 1 year agoThe ball girl models must be for the marquis matches only. Nice, normal sporty kids managing the balls in the couple of matches I’ve seen. Meanwhile, I don’t see the ball any better with the new colour. With the electronic signage (Tiriac blue) on the main court, there’s zero contrast. Plus missing torsos with the number of blue shirted…[Read more]

Racquet Network PRO SHOP 1 year ago · updated 1 year agoCan I purchase a new pair of outdoor court shoes fully with my Pro Shop Credits? Hope so.
-
You can buy anything our Pro Shop provided you have sufficient credits to make the purchase — including shipping and taxes. However, since you live in Calgary you’d be well advised to come into the store and try some shoes on first.
-
Yes, I was planning to come in and try some shoes. I just wanted to confirm I could cover the whole price with my credits.

Pro Tennis Talk 1 year agoAlready I miss the red clay. This is a dumb warm-up for the French Open for two reasons now, not just the altitude. Obvious banker logic, as ABBA comes to mind.

Isner is not a kid. He is more matches than Raonic. That’s why he knows what to do in moments that really matter.
