Cork. Major league baseball players have been using it for years to enhance their hitting performance. It is illegal in baseball, but to date, there is NOTHING in the rules and regulations of tennis to prevent it from being used. Guts and Glory Tennis has been experimenting with integrating cork into many of today’s modern […]

Top unreported 2009 US Open stories
The 2009 US Open came to a close yesterday. Arguably the most dramatic and unpredictable event in tournament history. The feel good story of Kim Clijsters was nearly eclipsed by the stunning upset of Roger Federer by Juan Martin Del Potro. We will fondly remember the run of the upstart American, Melanie Oudin as well […]
USTA warns players against using Twitter – Seriously?
The USTA has spoken. “Thou Shall Not Tweet!” (Or at least tweet responsibly) What’s the true motivation behind this mandate? We can only speculate, but speculate we will. 1. Shot-Spot is jealous. Not wanting to share the technology spotlight, Shot-Spot has threatened to go on strike if too many fans and players are making use […]
Guest Editorial: Brooklyn Decker
“Roger Federer is destroying my love life!” I am sure many of your blog readers and tennis fans may not recognize me as the wife of Andy Roddick, but may know me as the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Covergirl. It’s weird, in spite of the exposure, I regularly attend tennis tournaments under the cloak of […]

MxD Season – some random thoughts to share.
It’s almost here. MxD season is about to begin in Atlanta’s premiere doubles league, ALTA. Many of my like-gender friends do not look forward to MxD, but I do. I may go so far as to say I enjoy it even more than men’s doubles. Why? Well, the food at the matches takes a huge […]

Rear Ended!
My most sincere apologies go out to two of my favorite local stringing customers, David and Marcia, for they would have won our tennis division and the prestigious bag tag but for my butt. In Atlanta we are fortunate to have massively large tennis leagues. The largest is an organization known as ALTA, the Atlanta […]
Monica Seles: Dancing Queen
Oh Monica…Please, say it isn’t so! I just want to remember you as the brilliant young woman who dominated woman’s tennis and literally changed the sport by blasting two-handed groundies at wicked angles past all comers. You were the first pure power hitter in woman’s tennis. When the going got tough, you coolly responded by […]
Full Disclosure (Sorry Mom!)
