    Would she retain her ranking if she pulled out due to to injury?

  • sabadabadasabadabada 5,966 Posts
    no. but she fakes injuries to stop play long enough to interrupt her opponents rhythm.

    yeah i like roddick too. i'm not paying close attention to the seeding. is it possible to see a roddick/nadal final? i'd be into that. kinda sick of federer

    is soulstrut ready for a ATP/WTA thread?

    Do you guys actually play tennis???

    The courts near me are ALWAYS taken.


    Roddick seems like he got the U.S. tennis throne by default, but has never really lived up to it, or maybe has just had the ill fortune of facing Federer each time.

    i play. my wife was ranked and actually played against the Williams sisters (and David Dinkins in a doubles match). she did rebock and harry hopkins and went to school on a full scholarship. she had an injury that forced her to learn and compete lefthanded. She started training in Russia at age 6 and has the nicest game you'll ever see.

    My game, not so much.

    Roddick cant make that leap. Dude hired Conners to give him some swag,and it hasnt worked.

    I played for 6 years hardcore. My sister just got back from the French Open.

    It's the exact opposite for me and my lady. She struggles with her serve, volley and forehand, has little backhand to speak of, not to mention a complete lack of depth perception. Meanwhile, I went unranked on my high school's JV team, also sponsorless. However, it's always a great time playing.

    This used to be my sport. I played competitively for a good 10 years. Ranked as a junior, 1st singles as a freshman in high school. Went to Bollettieri tennis camp w/ my man Dreas (that shit was brutal). I had to stop playing midway through my junior year due to a strained elbow. That tennis elbow shit is no joke, feels like your forearm is being forcibly pulled out of socket every time you move.

    I only play occasionally now. Why must I cry?

    the great thing about tennis is that you dont have to win, its all about having a nice game, form, and looking good on the court. Once youve played competitively you can always play doubles and have a good time.

    My wife did Bollettieri also. She grew up in Woodhaven Queens and was befriended by Vitas Gerulaitis Sr. on the courts on Parklane South. I think he owned a travel agency on Jamaica Avenue. She would be up there at age 12 playing with a wooden racket against men and running them up and down the court. Whenever we play, people stop to watch her game. In college she did the compete and they pumped her up with cortisone until it blew out her whole wrist and forearm. Then she competed left-handed, and after about 6 years she has enough strength in her right arm to play doubles, and if she wants to really reach for a shot now she can just switch hands.

    told you.

    "Serena Williams collapsed with a strained calf, screamed in pain and buried her face in the grass behind the baseline, her bid for a third Wimbledon title in jeopardy. Nearly three hours later, following a timely rain delay, she hobbled gallantly into the quarterfinals by beating Daniela Hantuchova 6-2, 6-7 (2), 6-2."
