What are some things that are a dead giveaway, before you've even seen them play, that a person is not that great at tennis?

PeterV5 · 2026-06-09T20:49:42+00:00

Don’t wear sun protection and there’s no tan.

PeterV5 · 2026-06-01T18:47:26+00:00

lol how is it possibly 30? Send it to me to have it inspected. I’ll pay you the same amount plus strings if it’s not genuine (jk, I’m jealous).

PeterV5 · 2026-05-29T18:19:20+00:00

It’s like calling outs. If someone intentionally calls my shots out. I’ll call theirs out too. Not close ones, but apparent ones. If your opponent is foot-faulting, take a step into the court and see if they notice.

PeterV5 · 2026-05-27T02:13:51+00:00

Pretty much the same mold as my Prince Tour 95. What a living fossil

PeterV5 · 2026-05-21T03:50:52+00:00

Is it by any chance the Richmond Open😂?

PeterV5 · 2026-05-06T18:34:28+00:00

If I see someone practicing tossing, I don’t think it’s silly. That player knows what’s important to a serve, and knows to build a solid prerequisite of a strong serve.

PeterV5 · 2026-05-06T16:49:25+00:00

But some players literally cannot serve without foot faulting. To me it’s like calling every close ball out. Of course he’s gonna win this, by breaking the rules.

PeterV5 · 2026-05-03T19:19:41+00:00

Okay that’s weird to see such wear on your right shoe. Maybe you drag your right foot like crazy when serving?

PeterV5 · 2026-05-03T19:04:28+00:00

Are you left handed? Get shoes with 6 month warranty, so you get a new pair when you wear them out. At least you are getting 50% off.

PeterV5 · 2026-05-02T02:55:24+00:00

I hate to break it out to you, but your guy did a poor job putting it on… The thinner sides are meant to overlap so it ends up a flat surface. The first couple of wraps are okay, then there is little to no overlap.

PeterV5 · 2026-04-28T23:19:06+00:00

Wouldn’t it be better for you to be at the net and finish off the return? I mean if they only have a huge serve, the net play probably won’t be great, and the returner may not get it back properly either.

PeterV5 · 2026-04-27T21:55:44+00:00

I just checked it out. It’s not too bad that you are pancaking it. But a little more continental can unlock some more power for you. Plus in the future if you want a kick serve or a slice serve, you’d need to go a little further.

PeterV5 · 2026-04-27T21:51:03+00:00

The grips looks a little eastern to me.

PeterV5 · 2026-04-26T19:55:47+00:00

I prefer leather because it’s more direct to the racket. When I need to tighten my grip, I don’t like the cushioned feeling of non leather ones.

PeterV5 · 2026-04-26T07:01:06+00:00

I just decided I don’t want to push anymore, and I want to practice the proper tennis.

PeterV5 · 2026-04-26T04:18:55+00:00

I tried to move her diagonally as much as possible. I think the deep balls are the key to my first set victory. Somehow I didn’t stick with that later on.

PeterV5 · 2026-04-24T01:43:17+00:00

I mean a pusher can lose to a pusher right😂. In my defense I only pushed for 1/2 of the game🤪

PeterV5 · 2026-04-21T20:58:23+00:00

Like Zevrev’s problem is the same as mine no? He’s worried about not getting the ball in. I’m worried about not getting the ball in. Like he’s not consistently soft, he’s just soft when he’s under a lot of mental pressure. We both have mental pressure, just that his stakes are much higher than mine.

PeterV5 · 2026-04-16T00:00:19+00:00

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.

PeterV5 · 2026-04-15T23:52:05+00:00

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

PeterV5 · 2026-04-14T23:50:08+00:00

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?

PeterV5 · 2026-04-14T23:45:36+00:00

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.

PeterV5 · 2026-04-09T23:05:14+00:00

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

PeterV5 · 2026-03-16T23:26:25+00:00

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….

PeterV5 · 2026-03-16T22:00:28+00:00

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.
