US OPEN TENNIS

Tennis has a great tradition in the United States. The U.S. has won the legendary Davis Cup more than any country in the world. In addition, the United States is the home of Andre Agassi, Michael Chang, Pete Sampras and many other champions in the recent years. But tennis does not get enough attention in the United States these days. Davis Cup gets minimal coverage on TV, and the coverage of major tournaments such as the Masters Series has been significantly less than previous years. So why is it that a tennis rich country such as the U.S. does not pay enough attention to the “beautiful game.” Tennis fans in the U.S. have been spoiled by the wealth of titles won by U.S. players in the past decade. The days of Agassi, Sampras, Courier, and Chang are extraordinary, and it would be unreasonable to expect the current crop of players to emulate what has been done by the legends of the past. The U.S. fans are patriotic and they tend to pay attention to sports that Americans are dominating. …

The aspects of his game that shot him up to #1 include speed, defensive maneuvering, and power. But the most important aspect is one that is admired the world over- his ability to generate massive amounts of topspin, exceeding 3200 rpm! By following these simple rules, you will form the foundation for hitting topspin, and by sticking to them, you will become a topspin pro. Rule #1- Proper Grip You have to grip your racquet with the semi-western or western grip. This is imperative. Without the racquet, one could not play tennis, and without proper grip, one can’t swing the racquet correctly. If you can’t swing the racquet correctly, you can’t hit correctly. Grip should be the number one priority in your game. Make sure to switch to either the semi-western or western (the latter is used for hitting with the most spin) and keep it. At first, it will feel weird, but keep swinging with it and you’ll eventually get in the habit of using this grip. Rule #2- Proper Ball Positioning Have the b …

Story has it that Ren Lacoste picked up the nickname “the Alligator” when rumors began floating around that he had made a bet with the captain of the French Davis Cup Team regarding an alligator skin suitcase. The official company statement from the website is that the captain of the team promised him an alligator skin suitcase if he won a very important match for the team. He won the match and was given the nickname by the American press after news about the bet was leaked. The nickname was shortly changed to “Le Crocodile” because of Rene’s French ethnicity and the name stayed with him due to his doggedness and aggressive behavior on the tennis court. Later on, a friend of his by the name of Robert George designed a small crocodile logo, which Rene affixed to his personal blazer that he wore while playing tennis. When he retired from tennis in 1933, Lacoste partnered with Andr Gillier and started up the company La Chemise Lacoste. They began designing a tennis shirt based upon a d …

As I see it, there are two fundamental truths to being happy. Truth 1: We are responsible for our own happiness. I know, that one is always hard to swallow: Why should I have to take responsibility for my own happiness? Why can’t it just happen? Like, right now, and more often! (On the other hand, would you rather rely on the vagaries of fate to determine when and how much you can be happy?) Accepting this truth is the first, and perhaps most difficult, step. Truth 2: Happiness is a skill. As Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard, dubbed “the happiest man in the world” based on MRI imaging of his brain while meditating, writes in “Happiness: A Guide To Developing Life’s Most Important Skill” happiness is something to be learned, like playing tennis or reading. That’s empowering, don’t you think? Because it means that, rather than something that just “happens,” happiness is something I can practice (like my backhand!) - and on the days when I just can’t seem to get there, it’s more akin to my …

This will not only help your child or team hit the ball harder with more control of the bat , but also prepare them for high school baseball. Here is a simple inexpensive way to do just that. 1) Tennis Ball - Have some tennis balls around the house and especially in your childsroom. While your youth baseball player is watching t.v. or waiting on his turn to play a video game he can be squeezing the tennis ball building the muscles on the hand , wrist , and forearms . Sure you can buy exercise equipment for this but don’t waste the money. This will provide enough resistance for what your child or team needs to develop. (Bonus) Wrist roller - You can also take a rod (old broomstick handle will work) The rod needs to be 15 or 16 inches long with a hole drilled in the middle. Take some thin rope, run one end thruough the hole and tie a knot or two in it so it will not fall through. Leave a few inches past the rope for adjustments later. Take the other end and tie to a brick or weight. Th …
