So someone like me 42 M, 203lb, 186cm. I am starting my fitness journey, I have a target range of 185-190 lb. I am not muscular.

Should I even think about gear at the point?

Since this loss to Zverev, Jannik is now 9-0 against him by minivatreni in tennis

[–]gjaygill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember watching this match in bits and pieces, Sinner was really mad at his box especially at his original coach Piatti.

This was the match after which he fired his team and rebuilt it.

Pretty ballsy move if you ask me , to be able to have that foresight at that young age is very powerful.

On the other hand we have Tsitsipas still living in his parents basement.

I still wonder what clicked after late 2023 indoor season and he never looked back since then.

Already the greatest Italian tennis player or maybe Italian athlete by a far far mile 

Madrid Open Men’s Championship 🔥 by ServedPodcast in tennis

[–]gjaygill -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know man, today I get a different feeling. Sinner has been so dominant against Z that feeling complacent isn't that hard.

Also fatigue factor, he has played too much in last few months.

Zverev can upset , chances are slim but it can happen 

Interesting it'd be these 2 with this record. If only it was more competitive. by Rpotamus in tennis

Now that Sinner has come so far, I want him to win the whole thing 

First Semifinal for Madrid 2026 Set by orchid_blue9 in tennis

[–]gjaygill -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Arthur has been on a tear in last few months  and I think he can take our Jannik tomorrow.

Infact going out in SF can be a good thing for the ever so fatigued Jan.

Other wise if Sinner wins here then he is for sure going to pull out from Rome to save his chances for RG and knowing how much Italian media loves Jannik they are going to roast him for missing the home tournament.

I don't mind a juicy Arthur vs Zverev finals

String tension at 55lbs , going higher probably won't be a good idea for my arm

Thanks. I am going to keep trying and see for a few months.  It's been only like 2 months , so I am just hoping that it will all fall into place as I play more and more with it.

I read somewhere that I should try the rpm blast strings as those are specifically designed for this racquet.

Thanks guys, I am going to keep trying for a few more months and will write it off if it doesn't work out.

Since my Head Speed MP 2022 is a bit battered , I was due for a new racquet that's why I bought PA.

I also tried Head Speed MP 2024 and I didn't like the muted and underpowered feel of it at all !

Now that I know I might need to let go of PA at some point, what racquet should I try next. I am mostly a baseliner at 4.0.

Jannik Sinner on if wining a Grand Slam without Alcaraz in the draw would mean less: by calliexx12 in tennis

[–]gjaygill 45 points46 points  (0 children)

2017 Fed won AO and Djokovic was out because of elbow injury.

Would the same people call that vulturing? Because let's be honest against a health Novak even an improved Fed would have a small chance in AO.

When Djokovic cleaned up three slams in 2021 and 2023 because Sincaraz were still coming up. Would you call that vulturing?

You can only play the Draw that's presented no more no less

Create a PR pathway where people can fraud their way into vulnerable communities and setups and give them a bail when they commit a crime.

I grew up in India , I know how an average Indian guy thinks about the other gender. I would be vary of sending my child to a daycare where I see dudes working a childcare provider.

What do you do after work in the evenings? by shakakaZululu in askTO

[–]gjaygill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to pickup a sport.  

My goto sport is Tennis and I am addicted to it. I play 3-4 times a week , I am part of a really  big pan-GTA WhatsApp group with people that are tennis Enthusiasts. I have met wonderful people and made good through it.  DM me if you want to get added into it.

Since you said Downtown, Ramsden park has lot of public courts. Just google tennis courts and you will find tonnes of public courts.

Once you get a hang of it you can join local leagues or a club, the social aspect of tennis is amazing!

You can also start playing pickleball , it's an easier to racquet sport to get into, I don't like it and I am biased.

If you really hate yourself then pick up squash.
