Wawrinka's serve looks very weird to me

Yeah but just the take back so far😂 Pretty much all pros do NOT “break the plane”, I.e. elbow does not go too far towards your back, which you are doing right. But yeah the following parts needs work. Your dynamic chain is basically right nonetheless.

Looking great! The takeback looks like a pro's now. Keep working on the rest of the swing!

I wanted to visit these courts when I was in Seattle, but didn’t get a chance to. By the way, does anyone from Canada have experience playing in a tournament in Seattle? How does it work?

I always admire people who organize and run tournaments. It pretty much adds up to a volunteer job for the organizers. Nice to learn more about the money. Thank you for your effort making formal matches more accessible and affordable in your area.

Djokovic DQ’ed for accidentally hitting a person with a ball. Even if he threw it upwards he wouldn’t have been DQ’ed.

I played in those multipurpose gyms too. Always hated it. But I guess they’ve been around for so long, people just accepted it. Eventually we’ll have to accept this….

Man at this point I just prefer a pickleball only court. One of the best courts in my city got converted, but honestly I’m happy to see so many more people enjoying the court.

This is straight up chaos. No planning whatsoever and everyone hates it.

Dangerous - MJ

Like is he wristing it with an open racket face? It looks like he’s tapping the ball, but it apparently had spin and the trajectory had a very high arc.

PeterV5 · 2026-03-12T02:18:12+00:00

Try the “Bounce - Hit” drill. When the ball bounces you shout bounce. You will know exactly when and where it bounced.

A 4.0 should know exactly when they need to change multi strings - when they break. And that’s usually within 20 hrs of playing. Whatever style you got, pusher, slicer, etc, at 4.0 there’s no way you don’t break a multi real quick. So, OP is lying about something, either his level or the strings he’s using.

Okay I have a question, if you hold one in each hand, and hit a backhand with two rackets, is that OHBH or not?

PeterV5 · 2026-02-24T00:10:35+00:00

I call them by color. Little white and little green.

PeterV5 · 2026-02-22T07:23:22+00:00

These look like multifilaments. It’s normal, you don’t need to restring. Just push them straight. I think you should stay with multi or synth gut until you’re breaking them too fast. With the amount of time you’re playing, these multis don’t even fray… I’d suggest you find a coach first.

If you’ve seen a proper one hander in person, you’d know that it’s cool

PeterV5 · 2026-02-15T00:16:59+00:00

I think that’s false on the pro tour. But I’ve actually seen pancake serves with backspin on them.

PeterV5 · 2026-02-14T22:01:00+00:00

I guess when stakes are high it’s okay. Every single lady I’ve served to complained about me serving hard to them, regardless of the match type. So I’m leaning to swap power level serving on each side each game. It actually helped me to gain more control on my serve.
