The title says it all.

Definitely the best serve in men's tennis belongs to none other than Andy Roddick.




Just look at that motion! Nobody else who comes along in tennis will be able to reproduce this unique motion that allows Andy to serve in upwards of 140mph on a regular basis!

The best forehand belongs to none other than Roger Federer.


When Federer is on this forehand is almost unstoppable! The best backhand belongs to ....not Roger Federer like most would believe... but Richard Gasquet. Textbook, that's all there is to it. What to you think?

Roger Federer x Maria Sharapova collaboration
An unaired in America Nike Commerical!


A random youtube search for Roger Federer's newest commercial led me to this one! Apparently it only aired in Hong Kong, it features Kobe Bryant, Cristiano Ronaldo, Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Manny Pacquiao, and Xiang Liu.

Look at constant repetition of movements Roger and Maria repeat, even though they're at the top of their sports, they still practice the basics on a daily basis.

Dear England, get your own player-stop adopting.
For the last few years England has put their hopes on Andy Murray winning Wimbledon, however, Andy Murray is not a native of England..a native of Scotland.. so why?

Ok, so Andy Murray was born in Dunblane, Scotland (well atleast according to the ATP bio and his official website, unless I don’t know otherwise.)

So I’ve always wondered why for the past few years that England has relied on Andy Murray as if he were a native resident of England to win Wimbledon each and every year. Just because Andy has a house in London doesn’t mean he’s repping England. I think it’s horrible that England has to adopt a player from another country; it shows the level of players coming out of England’s academies isn’t high enough to claim their own. How does that make the players who work so hard in those academies feel? That they will never be good enough, their country has to go out and claim someone else from Scotland to be the hope for English men’s tennis.

England had Tim Henman for the longest time, he was actually from England, he was number 4 for a period of time, and retired. He didn’t win Wimbledon, he came close in 2001, but fell to eventual champion Goran Ivanisevic in five sets in a match played over three days. Unfortunate, but that doesn’t mean you can go out and claim Andy Murray as your own England, one of those hardworking teens toiling away at an academy somewhere in England should be your hope.


Bottom line, stop adopting, get your own player.
