this girl Gennie is canada's new sweetheart, hopefully she isn't all hype.

Happy to see Canada has a new face, but yeah...hype might end up hurting her in the end. 

Boy she is a looker though, if her tennis career doesn't pan out she's got options (looking at your Kournikova).

my babe

What a great match by Daveeed.  Rafa had too many errors, but Daveeed was so good... so agressive.  Beats Rafa on clay for the first time in 10 years! 

 

[aepps20]

awesome match

 

[t21d]

Right now, she is... a bit.  The WTA loves her and is over-promoting her... I don't have anything against her, but it's getting to a point where it's off-putting. Oh well. 

I have to agree. Once I see WTA /Fed Cup on the heading on Tennis channel, I immediately switch to BeIn Sports Btw- ended up with another stick, just to give Prince a chance.

 

[Sinner]

Talk to me, Goose. 

EDIT ~ Ridiculous tennis by Garcia-Lopez right now. Ridiculous. 

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Nice! Switched sticks myself too. Going with the Head IG Radical Pro for this season.

 

[Sinner]

Is that the new "Murray" one?

 

[The_Isomotion31]

^nah its his previous one.

Ferrer was en el fuego.

Poor Nadal...hate to see him lose, but I'm happy for David.

As for Federer's match, real opportunistic with those break chances against Tsonga said no one.

Got a ball abuse warning cause he sent one into the Mediterranean. Haven't seen teenager Fed in a while.

If only this was the French Open and Roger had just washed Novak in the semis and Nadal was already at home.....

Well Novak will likely be still recovering and Nadal with the way he's been playing...

It's not too far off, perhaps Fed has a real tough decision to make if the baby is due!

 

[richiemcfly]

lol with all this racquet talk and now that I'm starting to hit the courts twice a week makes me want a pair of racquets

 

[Sinner]

^ What kinda sticks are you looking at?

Fred ~ What'd you get?! 

I personally like less-make-up-Ana, but whatever...

For you fiends.

Not sure. Currently using the liquid metal radical so probably stick within the radical line. Just started getting back into it recently after almost 9 years of not playing

Based on purely specs...

Technical Specifications Length 27 inches 69 centimeters Head Size 98 square inches 632 square centimeters Weight 11.2 ounces 318 grams Balance Point 13 inches 33 centimeters 4pts Head Light Construction 21 mm Straight Beam Composition LiquidMetal Titanium / Graphite and Piezzo Electric Fibers String Pattern 18 Mains / 20 Crosses

Here's a list of similar rackets (Used TW's algorithm):

• Prince Warrior 100
   

Monte-Carlo championship is starting, may the best Swiss win!!

Stanimal came to play after winning that second set tiebreaker. 

I think that's the confidence he needed that ultimately made him play his true game in the remaining set.

Great match. 

 

[thadangerousmind]

And Federer fizzles again....

I used TW too to get an idea on models to get. prior to my current racket I used really old version of the prince warrior.... Lol triple threat warrior

 

[Sinner]

Didn't expect that result... props to the Stanimal!

I'm tellin' you guys... demo the Prince classics!
