It's not only harsh but also illlogical. You sound a little bit like
John McEnroe's mother who thinks nobody should play professional tennis if
he is not as talented as John. I hope you are the best at your job otherwise
according to your logic, you should have quit already. IMO, the important thing
is whether they have tried their best or not(that's true for any other
profession as well). Playing tennis is their job and they are making a living
at it. I believe most of them are trying their best and it just turns
out for some of them, their best is in top 50 and for others, their
best is not that good. To say those players either don't
love game or don't have much pride in themselves is an insult
to them. Please don't try to be open-minded, just be open-minded.

I hope this is not too harsh but well, it's how I feel.

Subject: Is there a durable tennis shoe around?
Organization: AT&T
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 1992 14:43:39 GMT

Right now, I am wearing my Reebok Court Victory II's (not that
God-awful midnight edition) and two months after purchase, there's a
bit too much wear for its young age.  This season, I have been very
active on the courts, sometimes playing five times a week or more.  My
footwork is such that on groundstrokes, the back foot gets dragged
sideways.  The two layers of rubber comprising the heel have already
separated, and I've had to use Freesole to patch things up (Freesole
is a Shoe-Goo-like product) on the inner portion of the heel.  Also
the rubber is starting to wear thin in the area just outside the ball
of the foot, also on the inner side.

Is there anything around that might last for more than one active
season?  I heard the Wilson ProStaff just might be the one, but I have
a strong interest in trying a shoe with an Infinity brand sole (the
CV II and PS use Indy 500), which is why my next pair of shoes could
be Diadoras.

Yes. Bjorn Borg, Kevin Curren and Derrick Rostagno are the only 3 players
to have beaten Connors and McEnroe at Wimbledon. Borg and Curren did it
when Connors and Mac were in their primes. Rostagno upset Mac in the 1st
round in 1990, then beat Connors in 1991 in the 3rd round (also beat
Sampras in 1991 in the 2nd round. Lost in 5 sets to Thierry Champion in
the 4th round.)

By the way, I have seen Rostagno's name spelled "Derek" and "Derrick" so
many times I could no longer say for sure which it was until I got the
ATP Player Guide. It is "Derrick."

He made the semis in D.C. and lost to Korda. Should be moving up in the
rankings.

His year-end rankings on the tour:

1988: 329
1989: 199
1990:  93
1991:  49

He won his first title in February of this year and is now in the top 20.

	I remember reading, that Agassi said that he didn't want to play in the
Olympics because he feels that Davis Cup is a more important tournament to play
in for the United States.

Yes, Krickstein is the underdog of the men's tour. The best example is last
year's US Open when he had to play Jimmy Connors and the New York idiots last
year. The crowd was booing Aaron - an American. I would love to see him crack
the Top 20 again.

    Yes.

Sidespins are not always lucky shots.  Graf hits an inside out 
forehand from her left to her right that has a lot of sidespin.
The effect is to get her opponent pulled out wide to the left.
There was an article about that shot several months ago in 
"Tennis" that explained how to hit the shot.  I have worked a 
little bit on it, and it really isn't that difficult.

    Good point about versatility.  If you can hit with topspin,
underspin, and no spin your opponent will be kept guessing and
off balance.

This taken directly from the wire:

"Andre Agassi and Jim Courier were named by captain Tom Gorman to the
United States Davis Cup team that will face Sweden in the semifinals
Sept. 25-27 in Minneapolis.
     Courier, the world's top-ranked player and winner of the Australian
and French Open titles this year, will be making his 1992 Davis Cup
debut.  Agassi, the Wimbledon champion, has played in this year's two
earlier vicories, 5-0 over Argentina and 3-2 over Czechoslovokia."


Does anyone know who will be playing for Swenden in this tie??

That's odd, you should've been able to get through using my email
address in my .signature.

Yes, Babolat Fine Play plays a bit better that Prince Synthetic, but
I'm finding that it doesn't last as long. It works much better for
my baseliners than my serve and volleyers.

Check out the latest (got it yesterday) issue of Tennis Magazine. There
is an article on the benefits of the most widely used strings.

Try the new Prince Response string, it's a Zyex/nylon blend. Very durable
and quite playable. I just tried out a set of Winn Gutite. While I wasn't
able to generate the amount of power that I can with natural gut, it
played very well. I haven't used it enough to vouch for it's durability yet.

 The article in this issue lists 25 rackets that were used by their panel
of advanced, beginner and intermediate players. I probably never would
have seen this but my co-worker brought it to work.
 It appears to be very thorough (neato-keeno). Check it out. I'm gonna
list a couple because frankly I was pleasantly surprised. 

High power
rated best
Donnay Ultimate Pro       $200.00 (US dollars)

Pro-Kennex Graphite
Infinity, A BEST BUY      $100.00

Medium power

Spalding Pro
Extreme 95                $130.00

 3 of the rackets were under $65.00.
