Thank you for your ability to “handle the truth,” as Idid when I read Andre Agassi’s book, OPEN. I pitypeople like Pete Sampras, because until he readsOPEN, he will never know what was said about himin the book. Andre was forced to play tennis and heresented it; Pete Sampras, on the other hand,wasn’t forced to play the game and he grew to loveit. This is probably why Andre was, and always willbe, a more interesting person than Sampras. OPENhelped explained his roller-coaster life and I enjoyedlearning about him.

Gerry Koppe,Newington, CT

At last, someone who gets it! The only person AndreAgassi hurt by doing drugs was himself. If we want toknow why he disclosed we should ask him, not specu-late. How many other athletes have used perform-ance enhancing drugs (as opposed to what Andredid) and lied about it when accused, never mind dis-closed voluntarily? The pressure and temptation intheir world is enormous. Of course we do not condonedrug use or lying about it, but that's not the point.Agassi is a stand-up guy and there’s no hypocricy.People who criticized Agassi, as Martina Navratilovadid, should take a long look in the mirror.

Robert AkmanCalifornia

Looking at your past issues, I notice that you havenot featured Serena Williams on the cover. BeingAfrican American and a tennis professional, it con-cerns me when the number one female tennis playerof the year, female athlete of the decade, APIwoman athlete of the year, and most prize money by a female athlete does not have a place on yourcover. Is your magazine following the same statusquo or would it be considered racist? I would love tocontinue to purchase this magazine but could not ingood faith until I witness more diversity.

Hasheem Bason Sr.California

Publisher's Response: Dear Hasheem, thank you forsharing your opinion regarding racial diversity. WhileSerena Williams had not appeared on the cover ofTennis View before this issue, she and other playersof color have received fair and appropriate exposurethroughout each magazine. Please understand thatmany factors influence our cover decision – race,however, is not one of them. All the same, I hope youcontinue to read Tennis View and appreciate ourcommitment to the sport. -Teresa Thompson

jonburdickphotography.com I HAVE PARTICIPATED IN SEVERAL SPORTS and understand the “sacrifice” strat-

egy very well. In softball, for instance, a batter sacrifices an out by deliberately hittinga fly ball to the outfield to advance a runner. In basketball, when the score is close inthe fourth quarter and seconds remain in the game, a player commits (or sacrifices)a foul to stop the clock and regain possession after a free throw. These are examplesof excellent strategies and fair tactics. A sport that should not adopt the sacrificestrategy, however, is league tennis. A sacrifice here, I believe, is poor sportsmanshipand a tactic that generally reflects a captain’s ego and compromised integrity.

I was recently involved in a singles match where the sacrifice strategy was used.The scenario is common: My team had a winning record, the opposing team did not.So to increase the likelihood of one win, the captain from the opposing team movedtheir strongest player from position one to position two – I play position two. Theplayer who would’ve faced me, bumped to position one – she was the sacrifice.

The opposing team celebrated a loss in position one and a win in position two. Ofthe team’s five positions, it was their only victory. Had they not used the sacrificestrategy, they likely would have lost all of the matches.

When a captain manipulates the system, I am perplexed and disillusioned.Perplexed because I can’t imagine who would enjoy playing in a profoundly unevenmatch. Disillusioned with the captain that chooses the tactic.

I’ve seen captains huddle with their team before matches and explain their masterplan that includes the sacrifice strategy. The players respond: “Good plan. Do what-ever you think is best for the team. Whatever position you want me to play is fine.”

Then, when the captain is out of earshot, the psychoanalysis begins: “Do youthink Jane is taking her captain role too seriously? This isn’t fun anymore. I’m notgoing to play next season. If I wanted to play below my level, I wouldn’t have takenlessons to improve.”

If captains were to ask players to describe their ideal match scenario: (1) an easywin; (2) a hard-fought sacrifice; or (3) fair and balanced competition, I bet the vastmajority would choose the latter. Captains who utililze the sacrifice strategy should stop worrying about where their team will place at the end of the season, andinstead, promote the spirit of competition. Win or lose, most players simply want a good match.

Prince’s racquets, including the new White 100, aren’t like traditional racquets. They’ve been engineered around a series of unique holes in the frame that extend the sweet spot and make the racquet more aerodynamic, generating more power. But you won’t just see a difference, you’ll feel it too. Because of the advanced engineering these racquets are deceptively powerful, with their own unique feel.

Touring pro Ekaterina Bychkova was offered a “significant amount of money” inexchange for information that could influence the outcome of matches. Andalthough the Russian didn’t accept the offer, the Tennis Integrity Unit found shecommitted an offense by failing to report the proposal to authorities. Her punish-ment was a $5000 fine and a 30 day ban from Tour competion, which fell withinthe Australian Open. Bychkova said that the Uniform Tennis Anti-CorruptionProgramme is confusing and that she was unaware she had committed an offence.John McEnroe and Svetlana Kuznetsova agreed with the Russian. Bychkova turnedpro in 2000 and has earned $658,819 in career prize money.

HitforHaitiFollowing the devastating earthquakethat struck Haiti January 12, ATP andWTA tennis stars donated their timeand money to help victims. The pre-Australian Open exhibition, Hit forHaiti, included Roger Federer, SerenaWilliams, Rafael Nadal, Kim Clijsters,Novak Djokovic, Sam Stosur, AndyRoddick and Lleyton Hewitt. Themakeshift event raised over $200,000. "I was following it on TV and saw

the devastation and I thought weshould do something," said Federer."It was a lot of fun. It's a great thingand I'm happy the players were also in such good spirits."In addition to the Hit for Haiti exhibition, Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic,

Sydney doubles winners, donated five per cent of their prize money; MariaSharapova contributed $10,000; Heineken Open winner John Isner andMedibank International Sydney champion Marcos Baghdatis each donated$5,000 of their prize money.“The situation in Haiti is really, really sad," said Baghdatis. "I have seen the

pictures on the news and it is just horrific. I want to send my condolences toeveryone affected by the earthquake."


AFTER DEDICATING 17 YEARS to the pro circuit,France’s Amelie Mauresmo says she lacks themotivation to continue.

“I don’t want to train anymore,” explained the30-year-old. “I had to make a decision, whichbecame evident in the last few months andweeks. When you grew older, it’s more difficult tostay at the top. It’s a bit sad, but this is the rightdecision. I was lucky enough to have an exception-al career and to experience very strong feelings onthe court.”

Mauresmo reached a world No. 1 ranking inSeptember 2004, one of the few tennis players,male or female, to have reached the top rankingwithout first winning a Grand Slam singles title.She achieved her first Grand Slam victory in 2006at the Australian Open and then later that yearcaptured the Wimbledon title. In addition to thetwo Grand Slam titles, Amelie ends her careerwith 25 tour singles titles and three doubles titles.

Retirement coach Lin Schreiber says when peo-ple are employed in the same intense professionfor an extended period of time, they may faceburn out and a desire to transition into anotherstage of life. “When was the last time you feltrefreshed, recharged and ready for a new adven-ture? If you're too fried to care, it's time to fill upyour tank and drive out of town,” says Schreiber.

Best known for her powerful one-handed back-hand and intimidating net play, Mauresmo leavesthe circuit ranked 21.

Closes the curtain to a successful career.

FIRST SERVE | EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Leslie Billman

Coach Carlos ChatsJUSTINE HENIN'S COACH, CARLOS RODRIGUEZ, sits with publisher TeresaThompson and shares his thoughts about the tour and its impact on his life.Learn more in Team Justine [p.38].

You’ve coached Justine since shewas 14. Were you shocked whenshe told you she wanted to retire?No, because I could sense a burn-out.She appeared really tired. Not onlywith playing tennis, but there were alot of things – personal, physical, thepressure of being No. 1 – that she had

to manage that weren’t easy for her. The fire wasn’t there to contin-ue, that’s why I understood and respected her decision to stop.

Did you attempt to convince her otherwise?I didn’t have any right to push her to stay. My role as a coach is to takeher decisions, not make her decisions.

You lost your job. Were you concerned?No, what happens to me afterwards is my problem, not hers.

Your professional status as the coach of the world No. 1 player changed overnight. Was that a difficult adjustment? In terms of the tour, no, because I’ve accomplished enough in life,plus I’ve traveled since I was 18 and I enjoy being home. On the otherhand, I had to relearn how to be with my family on a daily basis.That, in the beginning, was a very huge and difficult exercise. It wasscarey, but after about three months our family found balance again.

Then the family had to make another adjustment when youreturned to the tour – how did your wife, Elke, react to the news?We agreed that our relationship was strong enough for me to start anew career – a career that won’t be as long as the first one, maybethree or four years. That’s it. It helps us cope knowing that there’s arealistic end in sight.

Would you have been upset if Justine had not asked you to coach?No, I want the best for Justine. If I’m not able to continue to develop hergame and skills, then I would have decided to leave myself. Everybodyhas their limits. If I can’t help her, then I’m not interested in wasting hertime or mine.

In hindsight were you prepared to coach an eventual worldchampion, or did you grow together in your roles?We evolved together. I never knew in the beginning that she would be No.1. I feel that she taught me to be a coach, and I became better becauseof her. I needed a player to coach and a player for me to succeed.

How will you coach Justine this time around?My job today is completely different. In general, Justine calculates. Shewaits, she’s not proactive. So I try to push her to be proactive. I want herto determine what she wants and then ask me to do it. Before, I wouldsee what she needed and tell her to do it. Now, whatever she needs –food, massage, anything – it’s up to her to act. I’m helping her be proac-tive on the court and in life.

Venus & Serena WilliamsSister duo Venus and SerenaWilliams dominated CaraBlack and Liezel Huber, 6-4,6-3, in the double’s final.Competing in singles anddoubles could proveexhausting for the Williams,but they entered the tourna-ment ready to go all the way.“I think when we sign up forthe singles and the doubleswe realize that we both havethe ability to play deep intothe tournament.

Racquet2010


Living in the age of technology is thrillingto tennis players who embrace change,for every season manufacturers introduce newsticks for testing. Whether you want added spin to you stroke,

more power, greater control, or less vibration, there are racquets devel-

oped to help you achieve fantastic results. Prepare to enter the demo

process with an analytical, yet flexible mind. If you have the time,

knowledge, and money, you have the essentials for a rewarding prod-

uct testing experience. Following are suggestions to help you find the

perfect hitting partner in a racquet.

>>


Racquet2010 | Demo Tips

Approach the demoprocess similar to howyou would approach find-ing the perfect spouse:pay attention to detail,compare the pros andcons, be willing to com-promise, realize qualitymay come with a pricetag, and don’t rush thecourting period – youcan’t hurry love.

soul mate search01

Every racquet manufacturertouts technology that is uniqueto their brand. Many playershave loyalty to a particularmanufacturer, but from time-to-time, you should test anoth-er brand. The comparison willeither validate your loyalty orpleasantly shock you when youfind a more suitable racquet.

open mind 02

Organize racquets before startingthe demo process in such a waythat makes sense to you. Oneexample: separate racquets by purpose. For instance, categorizeracquets based on whetherthey’re designed to create morespin, power, control, etc. Fromthat point, if you still feel the needto narrow each group further,break the groups into weight,head size and balance weight.You’ll eventually find your favoriteracquet in the categories of spin,power and control. Proceed to testand compare until you’re satisfied.

organize03

If a racquet doesn’t feelright or gives you painwhen you swing, recognizethe signs and move to testanother racquet. On theflip side, if a racquet feelsperfect from the momentyou swing, don’t over ana-lyze the reasoning. Trustyour gut-feel. You neednot fully understand whythe racquet feels wonder-ful, just be thankful youfound a perfect match.

instinct04

Let’s say you’re physically strongand generate your own power andpace, and you want a racquet thatoffers more control. If that werethe case, your player profile alignswell with the racquet of RogerFederer. However, that doesn’tnecessarily mean you shoulddump your 105 sq inch racquethead and use Roger’s 90 sq inchracquet head. Consider makingchanges in your racquet incre-mentally. Using a racquet that’sdeveloped for a more advancedplayer may thwart your learningcurve. Bottom line: be realisticwith your skill, and be patient.

be realistic05

Regardless of whether you’re abeginner or advanced player, asking your favorite club teach-ing pro to assist with racquettesting should expedite theprocess and help you under-stand the selection processmore clearly.

Racquet2010 | Anatomy

Head-light racquets tend to be used by professionals and seasoned tennisplayers because it provides bettermaneuverability and control. In theory,head-heavy racquets generally offermore power and are preferred by lessexperienced players and/or playerswho can’t generate their own power.

Head Balance

An open string pattern (16 x 18 ismore open than 18 x 20) providesgreater rebound affect, thereforemore power and spin potential.Strings tend to wear more quicklywith the open string pattern, lead-ing to breakage. Players who wantmore control tend to favor adenser closed string pattern.

String Pattern

In general, large headed racquets pro-vide more power, while small headedracquets provide more control. Headsize is measured in square inches:Midsize racquets (85-95 sq in) areoften used by seasoned players whocreate their own power and prefer aracquet that offers more control andstability; midplus (95-105 sq in) offersa balance of power and control and isoften the choice of intermediate-advanced players; oversized racquets(105-130 sq in) are often used bybeginners who benefit from a larger,more forgiving sweet spot.

Head Size


The standard grip size rangesfrom 4 to 4-5/8 inches. To deter-mine the size most suitable foryou, hold the racquet in onehand and slide your index fingerof the other hand between thetops of your fingers and the baseof your palm. Generally, if theindex finger fits snug, you havethe correct grip size. Some play-ers use a smaller grip size toincrease maneuverability andthe ability to generate spin.

Grip

Length A 27-29 inch racquet is the legal limit for tourna-ment play. The standard length is 27 inches andis used by most recreational players and pros.Although long racquets tend to compromisemaneuverability, Venus and Serena Williams,Andy Roddick, Fernando Gonzalez and MarionBartoli choose a long stick, offering them greaterleverage and power.

Weight The traditional racquet weightis 11-13 ounces. Heavy racquetsoffer greater stability, absorbmore shock with each ballstrike, and are preferred overlighter racquets for preventingor reducing elbow pain. Lighterracquets are more manuerver-able and allow the player toswing through faster.

*The specifications of the actual racquet used by touring pros may vary slightly from what is sold to the general consumer.


DO YOU STRIVE TO OWN A POWERFUL serve as Andy Roddick and Serena Williams? Or

dream of hitting with great control as Roger Federer? Or maybe you yearn to hit flat, hard

balls as Robin Soderling? Whomever you admire, recognize their greatest asset: their racquet.

Analyze some of the tours most accomplished players and you will notice a correlation

between their hitting style and racquet choice. For instance, Andy Roddick and Serena

Williams swing a racquet that’s slightly longer than standard, which adds leverage and power

to their strokes; Roger Federer’s racquet head is noticeably small, allowing for optimum

control; and Robin Soderling chooses a stick with a closed string pattern that reduces spin.

While racquet spec variances may appear insignificant, it’s often the minute differences

that lead to profound results on the court. What touring pro do you wish to emulate? What

hitting style do you want to develop? Check the new models on the market this season to

find a great racquet. Following are a few to whet your appetite.

BY TERESA THOMPSON


1. Shrugs a big loss. “You have to get on with your life. You

know, there are many worse situations. There are people that

don't even know what a tennis match is in the world,” she said

after losing in the first round of the 2010 Australian Open.

2. Uses few words. “I love to compete. It drives me everyday.”

3. Matter-of-factly disagrees. “Actually, I thought I served

pretty big,” she said, when questioned about an 11 double

fault match.

Explaining the details of defeat to the press can be

agonizing – and annoying – to athletes. So when Maria was

offered a chance to answer questions about the positive

points in her life, she welcomed the opportunity. And she has

plenty of encouraging news to share: her shoulder feels fine

following last year’s surgery, and she signed a 70-million

dollar deal with Nike. But if you want to see Maria beam

with joy, ask her about her new relationship – with a racquet!

Here, the Russian explains the process of finding the perfect

partner in equipment.

FACING A ROOM OF INQUIRINGREPORTERS, MARIA SHARAPOVA:

Maria on facing Justine Henin andKim Clijsters: I think it’s great to haveKim and Justine back on tour, women’s

tennis missed them. I love playingagainst the best, and I’m excited tocompete against them real soon.

Every player, from recreational to touring pro,dreams of finding that one perfect racquet.How did you find yours? I’ve been with Prince since I was 9 years old. Notonly do I have a very special relationship with them so does my Team. Whenever I’m looking toadd something new to my game and my fatherand coach think the racquet can help, they speakwith Prince engineers. Their development team is amazing; they know my game and help me push to the next level. To be 100 percent honest, I try not to get very involved in the racquet selectionprocess. I leave this up to my Team – they knowwhat I need.

Was it love at first swing?When I play test, I like the racquet to feel goodfrom the moment I pick it up. I can tell with thefirst few swings if it has a chance. I was trying several frames when I first picked up the new EXO3 Black and I knew it was right on the very first ball. This is hands down the best racquet Ihave ever used.

The differences between racquets appearvery small – one might be head balanced one-point heavier, another one has a beamwidth a fraction of a milimeter smaller. Doyou notice these differences when you demo?Yeah, I do. The changes may be hard to describe,but I know them when I swing the racquet. TheEXO3 feels similar to the past EXO3 SpeedportBlack, but with something extra.

Finding the Perfect Partner

>>

•••


Maria Sharpova’s love of tennis was tested whenshe took a break from competition to rehabilitateher shoulder. During the 9-month interruption in2009, Maria developed a new skill – patience.Prior to surgery, patience wasn’t necessary for theshooting star who achieved success seeminglyeasy. At 14, she was the youngest female to reachthe final of the Junior Australian Open; she wonher first Grand Slam, Wimbledon 2004, at 17; andtitles at the 2006 US Open and 2008 AustralianOpen followed.

Maria returned to the Tour in May 2009, rankedoutside of the top 100. She grinded throughmatches and ended the year ranked in the Top20. Despite the sound comeback, her game – herserve, in particular – was not in perfect form atthe Australian Open. Her service motion hadglitches and cost her important points, contribut-ing to a loss in the first round to Maria Kirilenko.Sharapova says that “there's still a lot toimprove” and that she doesn’t blame her servefor lost matches. She’s happy with her progressand will work to improve on consistency.

“You know, it’s just a bad day. A bad day's notgoing to stop me from doing what I love. I'm stillgonna go back on the court and work hard andperform. I'll be back here on a Saturday of thesecond week, so you'll watch.”

Patience.A l e a r n e d s k i l l .


MARIA’S 2010 GOALS:My main goal is to

stay healthy.

You connected with your racquet rather suddenly. Since technology is constantlyevolving, isn’t it possible that today’s perfectpartner in equipment may be out-dated andreplaced as early as next year?I remember when I was younger playing with theThunder Light, then the Hornet, and then with O-Technology. You know, they all felt right in myhand at the time… until Prince delivered the nextgreat racquet advancement. They’ve done a greatjob putting the best technology in my hands atevery stage of my career. I don’t know what they’lldevelop next year, but right now my racquet feelsperfect in my hand, and that’s what counts.

Is it true that your racquet actually helps yourshoulder injury?Yeah, I feel like Prince really built this EXO3

Speedport Black with my shoulder in mind. I want-ed the same power that I always got, but I neededmore comfort and control. It’s the most comfort-able racquet I’ve ever used, and I actually even getmore power with this racquet, too.

Okay, for all of us recreational players whotest racquets without the help of a coach anddevelopment team, what advice can you offerto help streamline our selection process?I think a recreational player should play test racquets with a teaching pro – maybe take a lesson while you try the racquets. The teaching pro can help find you the best racquet.

And, lastly, would you describe the relation-ship with your racquet purely physical, or doyou ever talk to it before, during, or after aperformance?No, I can’t say I talk to my racquet – but, I also cansay that I never throw my racquets either!

t e a m justineAs Justine Henin and HER team embark on a sec-ond career, they approach competition with a

mature twist: an emphasis on effort,not results.

When Justine Henin realizedthat she wanted to return to thepro circuit, she made it clear toher long-time coach and mentor,Carlos Rodriguez, that shewouldn’t do it alone. “She told me that the only way she could

go back on the tour would be if I joined her,”says Rodriguez. “I never imagined thatJustine would say it’s time to come back. Iwas really surprised, I promise you. It wasvery strange.” Justine’s competitive fire started burning

after watching Roger Federer win the title atRoland Garros last year. The French Openvictory was his first in Paris, a feat that com-pleted a Grand Slam. Henin’s situation issimilar to Federers, but it’s a Wimbledontitle that’s missing from her resume. Hermain purpose for returning to competition,she says, is to win in England. When sheinformed Carlos of her desire he reacted withmixed emotions.“I was excited in the beginning, but when

the excitement wore off I saw all of the workthat had to be done and the sacrifices Iwould have to make to go back on tour. Itwould entail finding life-balance again withmy wife and children.”Henin convinced Rodriguez that she had

renewed motivation and that returning tocompetition would be worth his time.“I told her that I don’t have a problem com-

mitting one-hundred percent as a coach ifshe’s willing to commit one-hundred percentas a tennis player. I didn’t want us to onlygive fifty percent. We had to do it right.” Rodriguez is making adjustments to

Justine’s style and teaching a differentapproach to the game. Although Henin wasranked No. 1 in the world when she retiredin May 2008, he says that the field of topten women is stronger today than two yearsago. He wants Justine, 27, to preserve her

body by keeping points shorter, so he’sinstructing her to play aggressively and dic-tate the offense. After 14 years as Justine’scoach, Rodriguez says she trusts his vision. “I try things she’d never imagine, difficult

situations that aren’t easy and that requireadaptations. We keep things fresh by findingways to evolve as a player, a coach, and as ateam. We’re always growing and looking todo things differently and to continue toenjoy the process.”Rodriguez’s role as a coach has changed

dramatically to include teaching Justine les-sons that she can use off of the court, too.He says it’s not known how long they willtour this time around, but that he will culti-vate Justine’s growth as a player and as aperson for the duration.

Building Blocks

After Rodriguez committed to coachHenin, the duo worked to assemble a team.To help prepare Justine for competition,they turned to one of their favorite hittingpartners: Florida-based, high performanceteaching pro, DeVante Lindsey. Henin’sdesire to return to competition caughtRodriguez offguard but Lindsey, on theother hand, says Justine’s comback wasinevitable.

“I think Justine can reclaim the No. 1ranking and add to her collection of Slams.I’m excited to help her reach her goals in anyway that I can.”Henin, Rodriguez and Lindsey recently

reunited at the Sixth Sense Tennis Academy,located at Mission Inn Resort and Club nearOrlando, Florida. Lindsey and Heninexchanged ground strokes while Rodriguezstood courtside and provided Henin withinstruction between points. Lindsey saysthat a typical day as Henin’s hitting partner

included two hours of general drills in themorning, two hours of point-oriented drillsin the afternoon, and an occasional practiceset to end the day. “Our matches are usually close, but I tend

to come out on the winning side. I thinkJustine may have won twice in the four yearswe’ve worked together. But this is what theywant – they want tough practice matches. IfJustine were beating me all of the time thenI’d start to worry that I’m not doing my job.”

Henin stands nearly 5 feet 6 inches andweighs 130 pounds, four inches shorter andten pounds lighter than the average top ten ranked WTA player. Employing Lindseyprovides Henin realistic match play – he’s 6 feet one inch, weighs 180 pounds, andoffers a variety of serves up to 120 miles per hour. Lindsey says that one elementHenin is working to polish is her openstance forehand. He says if she were torefine that stroke it would help her battlethe tour goliaths.“Modern tennis has a great emphasis on

power. If Justine can improve her openstance forehand she’ll generate more powerand pace to her strokes and be a greaterthreat on tour. Justine is a perfectionist –she’ll put in the work to get the desiredresults,” says Lindsey.Justine’s team is committed to training

and preparing the former world No. 1 for a rewarding comeback. Their ultimate victory is a win at Wimbledon, but howeverimportant the title, Rodriguez says compe-tition is unpredictable, so he puts greateremphasis on Henin’s effort rather than her results. “I can’t predict the future to know what’s

going to happen or how well she’ll do,” saysRodriguez, “but I will tell you that her effort and determination will be extraordi-nary. I expect something special fromJustine.” – Teresa Thompson

While America sees an increase in tennis participation, other coun-tries aren’t as fortunate. Paul Allam, a native Scot and tennis coachliving in the United States, says Scotland tennis is in trouble.

“Tennis only ranks 17 in terms of participation and popularity inScotland. We have about 30,000 registered tennis members of clubs,which include adults and juniors. Only one-percent of the five mil-lion people play tennis. As a very patriotic Scot, I feel helpless aboutthe current issues hindering the development of tennis in Scotland,”says Allam. He adds that the time to push for change is now, consid-ering Andy Murray’s success is spiking interest nationwide.

>>


Tennis View: Why is tennis strugglingin Scotland?Paul Allam: For starters, the inclementweather and lack of courts make itimpossible to promote tennis as a yearround sport. There are 6 indoor tenniscenters in Scotland available to the pub-lic, which equates to 32 courts. There’sanother 57 indoor courts at commercialclubs. If we are to grow the game weneed more outdoor courts in parks andschools, but we also need indoor courtsin all of the big towns.

Has Andy Murray’s success raised theawareness of tennis in Scotland?Yes, a huge amount. He’s one of theworld’s best players and he’s constantlyon television and in the press. Andyappeals to the kids because he’s still veryyoung himself. There will never be a bet-ter time for the country to capitalize onthis opportunity to promote the sportthan right now.

Is Tennis Scotland (the governingbody) jumping on this opportunity?Unfortunately, this is a very amateurorganization. Despite having about 12 fulltime staff, it doesn’t appear to havestrong leadership or a sense of direction.Consequently, minimal progress has beenmade in the past three or four years.

When Tennis Scotland recognizes agifted junior is it able to provide ade-quate coaching?We have a few dedicated high perform-ance level coaches, but the level of coach-ing is generally mediocre. Many clubsdon’t have coaches because they areunable to offer full-time work due to thelack of indoor courts. And many coacheswork in isolation and struggle to improvetheir levels. They often get disillusionedwith the lack of support.

Andy moved to Spain when he was 15to train at Sanchez Academy. Was hismove necessary for success?Yes, to continue to improve he needed acompetitive environment with qualitysparring partners and like-minded, dedi-cated players. He needed to be a smallfish in a big pond. In Britain it’s too easyto be a big fish in a small pond, which can lead to negativity and defensive attitudes in many players.

Spain also has better weather to playoutdoors year round – and has anabundance of clay courts?Moving to Spain allowed Andy to betterprepare for the men’s circuit. Because ofScotland’s weather, training was almostentirely indoors. And currently, there’s oneclay court venue in Scotland, located atthe Craiglockhart Tennis Centre inEdinburgh. This club has eight clay courts.Our kids play on artificial grass which isone of the worst training surfaces avail-able but is probably the best surface forour small clubs as you can play throughthe rain.

Do most elite juniors follow in Andy’sfootsteps and leave Scotland?Yes, the good ones tend to move toEngland or overseas. Our talent pool ispretty limited due to the small number ofyoungsters playing the game. While oursystem works pretty well with a few kidsaged 8 –14, due to our inferior trainingenvironment we’re not able to take themto the next level.

Who – Tennis Scotland or the family – ultimately funds the move and training?More often than not, it doesn’t happen.Scotland does not exist as a nation intennis terms so Tennis Scotland’s activityrelies on its funds from the LTA (the governing body of tennis in Great Britain)and Sportscotland but doesn’t have a big enough budget to support the training nor does the family.Unfortunately, it can be a waste of good talent.

How can Scotland cater to theyounger generation and grow tennis?It’s vital for Tennis Scotland to develop aclearly defined plan to build more indoorcourts, school courts, park courts andensure better quality outdoor courts atclubs, including relevant player develop-ment surfaces like decoturf and clay. Andwe need a full-time center to train playersand develop coaches.

Will Tennis Scotland implementthese changes? Currently, they don’t have a proposal.There’s an urgent need for a strong, ambi-tious leader who knows the game andwho can devise a five to ten year strategyand ensure it’s carried through. We have achance to build tennis into a major sportand provide opportunities for our youth tofollow in Andy Murray’s footsteps and beour next generation of world class tennisplayers. We must ensure that chance isnot missed.

Many clubs don’t have coaches because they are unable to offerfull-time work due to the lack ofindoor courts.

SERENA WILLIAMS dominates the WTA Tour with power. At will sherips forehands, backhands, overhead smashes, and swinging volleys. But,according to those who know her game best, circuit rivals, Serena deliversher most fierce stroke standing behind the baseline when she is serving.“She's a strong girl. She has very powerful shots. You don't see many

girls serving 200 kilometers [125 miles per hour] in the third set,” saidVictoria Azarenka, after a third-set loss to the World No. 1 at theAustralian Open.“When Serena wants to win a point, she just hits an ace... I think I have

to practice much, much more on my serve,” said Li Na of China.Veteran Sam Stosur is impressed with Serena’s powerful serve and vari-

ety. “When she's on, she's able to hit it within ten centimeters of whateverline she wants. When she's got that trajectory and it’s so close to the lines,it's not easy to return… I can't see too many players being able to stop her.”

A SERVING SENSATION ALTERS THE LANDSCAPE OF THE WOMEN’S PRO CIRCUIT.

BY SCOTT MITCHELL USPTA P1

>>

Reuters/Landov



At the Australian Open, Serena Williams used her wideslice serve into the deuce court to open the court andreceived easy points with aces up the middle. The newfive-time Australian Open champion predominatelyuses a continental grip while serving, and you should,as well. This grip style allows her to add spin to herserves, which adds more control to her stroke. Whenattempting to hit more of a flat serve, she sometimesadjusts her grip between eastern and continental. As arecreational player, if you have not used the continen-tal grip, it could [and often] take you time to perfect,but it is well worth the early frustrations.

CONTINENTALGRIP

As Serena takes back her racquet and tosses the ball she bends her knees deep to help propel her body intothe ball. For advanced players, this is an important linkto the kinetic chain of the entire service motion.Recreational players should not attempt to bend theknees before or during the tossing motion. The kneebend takes place once the tossing arm is fully extendedand the ball is reaching its apex. At this point, bend theknees and push upward and forward to meet the ballhigher above the ground. As you begin to add the kneebend, toss the ball slightly higher than usual and morein front of the body towards the net.

BALLTOSS

1. FEARLESS.Serena isn’t afraid to go for a big servewhen needed. When she was down twobreak points in the third set of theAustralian Open final she served her wayout of trouble and put the balance ofmomentum back in her court. Serving forthe match against Justine Henin, she hadconfidence in her serving target and thecourage to swing at full speed. “It was definitely a tough match mentally andphysically. I felt like we both were out theretrying to kind of prove something. I thinkwe both did at the end of the day,” saidSerena after her victory.

2. IMPOSING DISPOSITION.Opponents feel Serena’s determinationand her attitude and body language senda strong message to her opponent. Forinstance, Victoria Azarenka met Serena inthe quarterfinals where Azarenka wonthe first set 6-4 and then had a strong 4-0 lead in the second. Azarenka ulti-mately let the match slip away. Azarenkawas asked if she was surprised thatSerena came back from behind to win thematch. “Not really. I know she's gonnafight until the last point. She started play-ing unbelievable, I think, from 4 Love inthe second set. ”

3. PATTERN OF SUCCESS.Serena has proven over time that she canwin when a match turns challenging.Serena hasn’t lost a match when she takesa first set lead. That 40-0 record turns intoa “Monster in the Mind” of her opponents.After winning the first set against JustineHenin in the Australian Open final, Serenalost the second set, but entered the thirdset with a successful frame-of-mind. “I justdefinitely stayed positive. I had so manychances in the second that I didn't capital-ize on. So in the third, I knew I would havechances again just to capitalize on that onechance in that one moment,” said Serena.The greatest champions hate to lose morethan they enjoy winning.

The serve is arguably the most important stroke in the game and Serenaholds the record for the fastest in the businesses, 128 miles per hour.She uses it to not only put the ball into play, but to dictate play. Sheforces the receiver to either return from their weak side or move theopponent out of position. As Serena has proven, owning a strong servecan be the foundation for winning in tennis. The serve is as important to the recreational player’s game as it is to

the pros. If you want to build a stronger foundation to your game thatresults in more match victories, then emulate the best in women’s tennis – Serena. Here are key elements to get you started.

BETWEEN THE EARS


Reuters/Landov


An important characteristic of all greatservers is that they fully extend up and outto reach the ball at contact. With all thelinks to our chain intact, Serena propelsherself up and out towards the ball and her target. She completely extends and allowsfor maximum power and control for one ofthe all time great servers.

REACH UPAND OUT

FOLLOWTHROUGH

Lastly, we should consider the followthrough. With an abundance of energy andpower in her serve, Serena completes theswing with a follow through that contin-ues across her body. The follow throughallows the racquet to travel at a high rateof speed up and into the ball andTHROUGH the point of contact. The rac-quet head does not slow after the point ofcontact. Many recreational players, in com-parison, tend to decelerate after ball con-tact. A racquet that travels at a high rateof speed from start to finish will havemore control and velocity than the onethat slows following the point of contact.

As Serena rotates her shoulders and tosses theball her tossing arm is fully extended towardsthe ball above her head. This is important andis an element of the serve that all great play-ers possess. Most recreational players don’textend the tossing arm upward enough andthe result is an inconsistent toss.

TOSSING ARM

The next element is common place with pros:the racquet arm lags behind the tossing arm. Itis still very much a fluid motion but the racquetlags just enough to keep the momentum con-tinuous without slowing the racquet or hitchingthe swing. The racquet arm is also loose as itswings up and out towards the ball. It is freelyswinging through the swing path as opposed to“musceling” the ball and forcing power. Thesmooth, relaxed swing allows the power tobuild and provides a much more forceful serve.The racquet lag, although an advanced motionand challenging for some players, is a beneficialmotion when performed correctly.

RACQUET LAG

The next key element of her serve is her shoulderrotation. Serena has a great shoulder turn that“corks” her upper body to allow for a greater rota-tion up and into the ball. Accomplish this by keep-ing your racquet close to your body in the racquettakeback, or backswing. As the racquet travelsbackwards rotate from your core, which forces thebig shoulder rotation and the storing of energy.

STROKES & STRATEGY | MIXED DOUBLES

SINGLES AND DOUBLES TENNIS MAY BE THE MOST COMMON of the leagues, but mixeddoubles – where the team consists of a man and a woman – is perhaps the most unique. At the recreational level, players enjoy mixed doubles for the opportunity to compete andsocialize with the opposite sex. But considering that the pros don’t receive ranking pointsto play mixed, what would motivate them to participate? I asked three accomplished play-ers to shed light on the subject: Liezel Huber, Justin Gimelstob and Murphy Jensen.Liezel Huber is currently ranked No. 1 in women’s doubles with partner Cara Black.

She’s won Wimbledon, Australian Open and the US Open women’s doubles, as well as theFrench Open mixed doubles with Bob Bryan. Justin Gimelstob won 13 doubles titles andthe mixed doubles titles at the Australian Open and French Open with Venus Williams.Murphy Jensen won the French Open doubles title with his brother Luke.The pros said that they play mixed to improve their game, break up the monotony of

tournament life and to make extra money. During the course of the season, there areonly a few tournaments – the Grand Slams, for instance – where the men and womenpros play at the same location at the same time. So when the opportunity to play mixedpresents itself, most of the best players do.

Distinctly Different Doubles

WHAT IS THE APPEAL OF PLAYINGMIXED DOUBLES?

WHAT ARE ITS GREATEST CHALLENGES?

WHAT MAKES FOR A GREAT TEAM?

Liezel: The speed. It's a challenge getting ballswhacked at you at a pace you don't see everyday. Mixed sharpens me up for regular doublesduring the grand Slams.

Liezel: For the female, there's definitely morepressure to make a higher percentage of firstserves. Also, I try to be better than the other female on court. It's a challenge to keep the ballaway from the male, but if you want to win, thenthat’s what you do.

Liezel: A strong female and an evenstronger male.

Justin: Because there aren’t points associatedwith playing mixed, the ultimate goal is to wintitles. It’s a chance to play a little more andwork on things in your game like serve and vol-ley and return of serve that can help you in yoursingles and doubles.

Justin: You always want to exploit youropponent’s weakness and pick on that. Thereare different formations in mixed and themale has to be more aggressive through themiddle of the court. The male has to be thedominant player.

Justin: It’s key to have good communication,comfort with your partner and complemen-tary styles of play. Venus had a great serveand return and power was key in her game.It’s tough for another player to measure up to Venus. It’s like having Christie Brinkley orCindi Crawford for your first girlfriend.

Murphy: The variety of play and the differentstrategies. Playing with a girl is totally differentto playing with a guy. I have to be a lot morepatient and the girl has to be a lot more patientwith me, too.

Murphy: Finding a partner that comple-ments my game. I want a girl who has greatreturns and very consistent.

Murphy: Getting along. They dont call it“mixed troubles” for nothing. Both playersbetter respect each others games or therewill be fireworks!

WHAT’S YOUR GREATESTMIXED DOUBLES MEMORY?

WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU OFFER TOSOMEONE CONSIDERING PLAYINGRECREATIONAL MIXED?

Liezel: A strong female and an evenstronger male.

Liezel: Jamie Murray and I played on cen-ter court at Wimbledon a few times andthat was awesome having the entire crowdpulling for you. Most recently, Bob Bryanand I won the French Open in 2009.

Liezel: To the females, don't be afraid to get hit.It's only a ball. Yell 'yours' a lot. To the guys: compliment your partner – we like it!

Justin: It’s key to have good communication,comfort with your partner and complemen-tary styles of play. Venus had a great serveand return and power was key in her game.It’s tough for another player to measure up to Venus. It’s like having Christie Brinkley orCindi Crawford for your first girlfriend.

Justin: Winning the Australian Open withVenus and then turning around and win-ning the French right off the bat. I was inawe of how Venus handled the men’sserves so well, moving into the court andtaking it early.

Justin: Have an aggressive mind set right off thebat. You have to look for the middle ball and beall over the net as much as possible.

Murphy: Getting along. They dont call it“mixed troubles” for nothing. Both playersbetter respect each others games or therewill be fireworks!

Murphy: Playing with Mary Pierce at theUS Open where I wore a microphone dur-ing the match. The TV viewer could heareverything we talked about and it wasntall about tennis or strategy. We talkedabout favorite foods and favorite moviesbetween points. I thought Mary was cute.

Murphy: Pick a great partner and play a lot of setstogether and NEVER blame each other. You wintogether and lose together. End of story.


STROKES & STRATEGY | BETWEEN THE EARS

YOU ADVANCED TO THE TOP OF THE RANKINGS BY WINNING CONSISTENTLY, so should playing a lower seed in a tournament concern you? If Roger Federer’s loss to Juan Martin Del Potro at the 2009 US Open is any indication, yes.

Never underestimate the power of the underdog.Time and again, a lower seed ends a competitionlifting the trophy while fans and the top seed areleft scratching their heads in disbelief. Losing to alower seeded player happens at every level ofplay, even to world No. 1 Roger Federer.

After Rafael Nadal lost at last year’s RolandGarros Roger Federer was the instant favorite towin the title. “You come out and you always haveguys going after you, like Tommy Haas today, likeSoderling yesterday. I think it only gives themextra motivation knowing that you’re the guy tobeat or they have nothing to lose, because if theylose, it’s a normal result. If they win, it’s anincredible achievement,” said Federer.

The Swiss says inexperienced players are risky.“I think everybody who’s young and up and com-ing is dangerous for the top players just becausethey’re fearless. Especially because they usuallylike the big matches, center court, you name it, anight session against the top guys. This is whereit’s most dangerous for us. That’s why it’s notalways an advantage to be the top guy like I’vebeen for so many years,” said Federer.

Sports psychologists say that underdogs tendto perform their best against a stronger player.

“Pressure is in the eye of the beholder. As withmost competitive situations, the key is to not getcaught up in the potential result of the match.Focus on playing tennis,” says mental trainingcoach, Adam Naylor, Ed.D.

Federer draws from experience to beat oppo-nents and said consistency is most important.“With age you are able to motivate and stay calmover a longer period of time. I remember when Iwas coming up I had great wins, but when Ireached the quarterfinals and semifinals stage Iwas already so exhausted from the pressure andfrom just being around pros and playing them.With the emotions running through me I was doneby the quarters or semifinals,” said Federer.

Roger said that he eventually learned how toconserve energy. “You don’t have to go crazyafter every point. That’s what I used to do. I’deither get angry after every shot or I’d get happyafter every shot. I lost a lot of energy like thiswhen I was younger.”

Competition and pressure co-exist. If a topseed remains calm and confident in their abili-ties, says Naylor, then sustaining their top spotand hoisting trophies will be the norm. – staff

reminders: 01Don’t underestimatethe abilities of thelower seed.

02Stay focused untilthe last point ofthe match.

03Remain calmand confident inyour skills.

Tennis ElbowAre you predisposed?

Tennis elbow is a degenerative condition of the tendons

that are responsible for anchoring the muscles which

extend or lift the wrist and hand. Patients who experi-

ence tennis elbow often complain of a severe burning

pain on the outside part of the elbow. In most cases,

the pain starts mildly and gradually worsens over

weeks or months.

Researchers found that in some individuals the ten-

dons are attached in a place that causes them to rub

against the bone during tennis or similar activities. The

result is tennis elbow (also known as lateral epicondyli-

tis). “The placement of the tendon simply makes some

elbows more susceptible to the tennis elbow,” says

Robert E. Bunata, MD, a fellow of the American

Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and primary author

of the study. “It’s just how some people are built, so

there may not be much they can do to prevent tennis

elbow, other than avoiding activities that could cause

the condition. However, this study may be a step toward

identifying the best treatment options.”

The researchers found a wide range of variation in

the size and shape of the bone and of the muscle and

tendon attachments. But there was evidence that in a

certain group of elbows, rubbing of tendon on bone was

unavoidable; those are the patients who might be most

susceptible to developing tennis elbow. The doctors

hope that further studies will help clarify which

elbows are at the greatest risk.

THE CONDITION OCCURS MAINLY IN PEOPLE AGE 30 TO 50 and affects as many as half of athletes who play racquet sports.

However, it can also develop as a result of other activities that require people to use their arms in repetitive back-and-forth

motions, such as fencing, painting, or raking. According to research, tennis elbow may be unavoidable for some people.

Nonsurgical treatments for tennis elbow are successful for 85 percent of patients and may include: ice, braces or splints,

anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, and stretching exercises. Understanding the cause of tennis

elbow may help doctors determine who needs surgery, and how their operating procedures can obtain better results.

If you’re over 35, your bones and joints aren’t what they used to be. And exercising only on week-ends puts them at great risk of injury. The good news is, you can reduce that risk by exercising at least30 minutes every day. If necessary, you can split this into 10- or 15-minute segments. As always,stretch and warm-up for several minutes before any exercise session, and wear appropriate shoes andsafety gear.

Carve a New PathBY PAUL J. MEYER

YOUR OUTLOOK ON LIFE AS AN ADULT – negative or postive – is best understood by reflectingon your past. Understanding the impact of past experiences will help carve a new path.

4 STEPS TO CHANGE COURSE1. Change Your ThoughtsBe aware of negative thoughts. At the moment yourecognize a destructive thought – I can’t do it, I’mafraid, I’m a loser, etc. – stop! Then tell yourself theopposite – I can do it, I’m brave, I’m a winner, etc.Start each day proactively by preparing to tell your-self new positive thoughts. If you fill your mindwith positive thoughts, it’ll be easier to block thenegative intruders.

2. Change Your Speech Pattern How often do you use negative words to describeyourself, or put yourself down? Once is too often.To break this habit, write a list of positive words ona piece of paper that you’ll turn to when you’retempted to say something defeating. Good exam-ples include: I am smart; I am healthy; I am confi-dent. Practice saying your new words and use themoften. Words you use during a tennis match mightbe different from the words you’d use at home orat work. Make separate lists that are realistic andappropriate for each situation.

3. Change Your BehaviorDecide to take a different course of action in afamiliar situation. For instance, if you’re tempted toprocrastinate on an assignment, determine tobreak the cycle and progress immediately toaccomplish the task. Sometimes intervening at thebehavior level is easiest when attempting tochange your course.

4. Don’t Give UpBe patient. Allow yourself adequate time to devel-op new thought patterns and attitudes. Your cur-rent attitudes are habits that didn’t develop yester-day, so learning new attitudes will take time, too. Ifyou are determined, nothing can stand in your way.Never give up.

I wanted to change the world. But Ihave found that the only thing onecan be sure of changing is oneself. -English novelist, Aldous Huxley, 1894-1963 ”

Childhood MemoriesAre your memories of childhood enjoyable or painful?How you answered the question correlates to yourbehavior as an adult, for what is experienced during thefirst seven years of life influences us most. If your child-hood was primarily enjoyable, you’ll tend to have a posi-tive attitude in adulthood; if your childhood was painful,you’ll tend to be negative. People with a positive mindsetsee life full of opportunities and believe they’re capable,creative and successful. People with a negative mindset,on the other hand, see life full of obstacles and live withdoubt, fear and low expectations. While we can’t changethe past, we can shape an enjoyable future.

Commit to ChangeAlbert Einstein once said: “The definition of insanity isdoing the same thing over and over again and expectingdifferent results.” So, if you recognize that a negativeattitude or behavior has thwarted your ability to achievehappiness or success and you want a different outcome,you must commit to change. To break a cycle of negativi-ty, it’s essential to realize that thoughts influence words,and words influence actions. Here are four steps to helpyou chang your course in life and carve a new path.
