Davydenko/Robredo - third set tiebreak, unfortunate Davydenko gets a huge bad bounce where the ball rose no more than 3 inches off the court, next point his strings break mid rally, and misses a sitter overhead to lose the match.

Never over until it’s over…

How many times have you heard this : if you are out of ideas as to where to hit the passing shot in doubles, just dip it low down the middle…

I hear it a lot, and the net players who let shots go thru down the middle will not win many matches.

The solution is that both players have to go for the volley, despite the fear of banging racquets. Here the Bryans cover the middle.

The left arm can help rotate the torso and hips - see Luby bring the left arm around and up in preparation for his forehand. His left shoulder is in contact with his chin, and he is seeing the ball “through” his upper arm.

Same thing on the backhand, your right shoulder should be up against your chin.

if you are gooing to bring your feet together on your serve to help you spring up — it is critical for both balance and power that you indeed bring your feet together– if the back foot goes wider than the front foot you will lose power as you have rotated before you have hit

Goodell said he talked to Murray about his drop shot– Murry told him — that it is a shot he doesn’t use in practice only when he feels the moment is right in the match– Goodell points out most coaches would flip– you should practice what you want to use– and don’t use the match to hit shots that you don’t practice==

Drucker is not a fan of Goodell– but for my money he runs rings around everyone else

Dip the takeback down for topspin.

Bring it around level for flat.

Don’t be distracted by your own partner even though she may be on a mix of methedrine and oxycontin. Certain religions may produce similar results. Check with your doctor for details.

one of the most important elements for shot making is not to rush through the hit– the key is to keep your head still and have your eyes stay on the hit point past the hit

Ferrer is up a break in the second set, and what an exciting final.

Even the experienced and elegant Goddell burst out : Yeah ! - Tennis !

Shame on ESPN - missing out on the best, offering crapola tennis.
