US OPEN TENNIS

I once heard John McEnroe say that it is very different to learn to play with a wood racket and get handed a high tech racket, than it is to learn to play on one of those rackets. He couldn’t have been more correct. It was natural that the new technology in rackets would lead to the big serve first, followed by the big groundstrokes. Sampras epitomized that change. He forced the game to a new level. Then Federer arrived and was unbeatable for over 3 years. The game had to leap again and it did. It took time for coaches and players to realize that the same technology that gives power to the rackets has also increased the ability for accuracy and variety. The string manufacturers got into the game and before anyone had realized, players could do amazing things to a ball. I watched Federer hit a shot that must have curved 2 feet, intentionally. Anyone ever see Laver or Conners curve a ball? Now it seems that the court people have added their input and the courts have been slowed. No one, …

But even despite his loss, Sampras was very happy to be back and expressed that all the memories he had from England were very nice and comforting for him. He stated that everything reminds him how good the British people were with him and all the victories he accomplished back in his glory days, in which he won the Wimbledon Grand Slam seven times in eight years. On this event, Sampras opened his participation against John McEnroe, whom he beat 6-3, 6-4. That gave Sampras confidence on his game again, especially with his 19 aces. However, that was not enough since he lost against Pioline on the semifinals. This was the first match that Pioline could win over Sampras in his whole career. This two amazing players have been always very competitive but Pioline had always a difficult time returning Sampras’ serve, although during this last match he did control it and that was the main reason why he got the victory. “I always had problems to return his serve,” said the Frenchman. “Suddenly …

It’s important to develop and improve your game with the right table tennis or ping pong equipment. This does not mean going out to buy one of the most expensive blades that professional use, but you may need to spend a little more than your basic Kmart special. You need something that allows you to develop the correct strokes, and that allows rapid development of your game when you put enough effort into it. It should not be ‘the equipment’ that holds back your progress. At the same it should be something that offer value for money, and you should not be paying extra for an expensive brand name, where (at your level) you will not be able to notice the difference. A table tennis bat, also commonly referred to as a ‘racket’ or ‘paddle’, basically consists of two parts, namely the “blade” which is the wooden part of the bat, and the rubbers which cover the blade on both sides. The first choice you need to make is whether you buy a ‘pre-made bat’ (or recreational bat) or whether you buy …

He may still have some way to go to convince many people that he is as good as some of the fellow greats of the modern era, namely Pete Sampras, Boris Becker, John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg. However, by registering a sixth straight Wimbledon Singles title, Federer would not be short of plaudits for equaling a record that was set in 1886 and has remained since. English player, William Renshaw, is the current holder of the record number of consecutive mens singles titles at Wimbledon but Federer is the favourite to win the mens singles title at Wimbledon 2008 and thus equaling the great achievement set all those years ago. Bjorn Borg was the last player to come close to equaling the record when winning five consecutive mens singles titles between 1976 and 1980 before losing in the 1981 final to John McEnroe. Pete Sampras dominated the title during the 1990’s, winning it a record seven times between 1993 and 2000, however, a surprise defeat in the 1996 Quarter Final to eventual winner Richa …
