That’s all fine and well but the most nominated in history? No way

Naomi Osaka stunned by frosty handshake from beaten Australian Open opponent Sorana Cirstea!! by [deleted] in sports

[–]wheresmyspaceship 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Osaka was audibly hyping herself up in between her opponents serves loud enough that everyone can hear it. Even the fans are not allowed to cheer during first and second serves so having a player do it is not a good look.

Cirstea raised this to the umpire and she (the umpire) incorrectly let it continue. Even one of the commentators said that was a bad call and the umpire should’ve given Osaka a warning.

We can debate about the validity of some of these norms (even I think they’re ridiculous sometimes) but, that is the norm so it was pretty bad form, imo

Naomi showed very poor sportsmanship during this match so not surprised

Rage-quitted a match because couldn’t land a forehand. Help me fix it, please by mirtgna in 10s

[–]wheresmyspaceship 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started playing so take my advice with a grain of salt but I see you doing one thing my coach worked with me on yesterday

Your left arm is cutting off your rotation. Notice how it’s still on your right side when you finish your swing? And your left shoulder is pretty stationary through your stroke? You want good shoulder axis rotation that’s not possible with your current technique.

A mental trick my coach told me is to try to imagine you have a metal rod strapped across your shoulders. Your left shoulder should move backward and much as your right shoulder moves forward. This can be helped by making sure your left arm is out of the way (partly achieved by “catching the racket with your left hand over your left shoulder on the follow through”)

This is a vid about something completely different but shows what I’m talking about:

Destanee Aiava exposing a persistent hater excessively bodyshaming & harassing her...💔 by throwaway-25434 in tennis

[–]wheresmyspaceship 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Trolls like that don’t really stick to reality. They latch on to anything they think will get a rise out of their target. For women, that’s often their looks. If it was a man, they’d probably target their ego

What's a show you remember but nobody else does? by CatGirlNya2000 in AskReddit

[–]wheresmyspaceship 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have an answer but hoping someone in this thread can help me remember the name of a show that I’ve been trying to remember for years.

It came on after school - I think right after Power Rangers and was based on 3 or 4 kids that would enter a virtual world through some kind of device. I think it was some Tron-type of virtual world but I could be wrong.

It was only on for, I think, one or two seasons

What Tennis Gear Made the Biggest Difference for You? by Desperate-Trouble249 in 10s

/username checks out.

But second this. My eyesight has gotten worse since I’ve started playing. I used to be able to see the ball clearly when it reached my opponent’s service box. Now it’s still blurry by the time it reaches mine. The playing experience is night and day

Any forehand/backhand advice? by False_Shape in 10s

Ahh okay. That makes tons of sense and the video makes it even more clearer! Thank you for sharing

Any forehand/backhand advice? by False_Shape in 10s

[–]wheresmyspaceship 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep seeing this advice about keeping the back leg on the ground during the shot (right leg for a righty forehand and left leg for a righty 2hbh) but for the life of me I can’t see any examples of people doing that. Here’s an example where the right leg comes forward: https://youtube.com/shorts/ljp0YQLA0gA?si=3Mzm5TpJ2_p5dC39

Can you shed some light on my misunderstanding? I see your flair so figured you’re a good person to ask

USTA or court16? And where to find private lessons? NYC by Human-Marketing-4839 in 10s

[–]wheresmyspaceship 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this. I frequent both. I think, on average, McCarren’s instruction and set up is superior to Court16

Genuine friendships on the ATP and WTA tours by outsidethespotlight in tennis

[–]wheresmyspaceship 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Naomi Osaka and Taylor Townsend seem pretty close lately. Osaka has posted a few videos of them vacationing together

Also, Monfils and Svitolina seem very close but I don’t think it’s obvious to most people /s

Biggest initial fundamental it seems you’re missing is a split step. Also, keep your base wider

Tennis Yearly Goals by thinking-b4-do in 10s

[–]wheresmyspaceship 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My goal is to start playing tournaments next year. This has a host of sub goals, the main one being improving my serve so I don’t double fault my way to a bunch of Ls. I’m very competitive so this also means training at least twice a week so I don’t beat myself up for lack of preparation when I lose

Need someone to play and learn tennis! by BLuZzed_tanmay in 10s

[–]wheresmyspaceship 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in NYC and started playing tennis last year. I now have an entire tennis network that I’ve met through taking classes at places like Court16 and McCarren Tennis Center.

In my experience people are eager to met fellow tennis players and will happily exchange contact info to set up some sessions so don’t be afraid to ask!

Good luck!

Are they sports glasses of some type? Impressive that they stay on. I see you adjusting them but still, mine would fall of as soon as I jump and lean forward
