        Now that Becker defeated Courier ( Becker is now 3-0 in career
   meetings with Courier ) and made it to the semis at Paris, what are
   his chances of making it to the ATP in Frankfurt?  Does he have to 
   win the tournament or is a semi final appearance good enough for him?

   Thanks.

   Sridhar(always for Becker).

The theory I've read is that when the frame flexes, thus absorbing energy, it
doesn't spring back until after the ball has departed, so that energy is
lost.  The strings, in contrast, respond faster than the frame, and spring
back while still in contact with the ball, thus restoring more of the
energy they absord on impact. A stiffer frame removes less power than a more
more flexible frame.

Yes, it does seem very unlikely that Becker will not make it (the 99.99%
probability figure of making it is probably pretty close).

There are two variables I *think* coming into play here.  1st off, the
Antwerp tournament for the first time is a sanctioned ATP tournament,
meaning that those playing have at least a fair chance of gaining computer
ranking points if their result here is among their 14 best for the year.

Factor number 2 (this one I'm not sure of) is that there may still be a
53-week discrepancy between tournaments played this year and last, thus
making it possible that Becker (and others) to lose ranking points.

I invite comment from those more knowledgeable about the way the ranking
system works.

I do not recall Becker himself making reckless statements such as these.
The German media did indeed claim his victories as victory for Germany.
They probably were in bad need of a sports hero and lionized Becker in a
big way. In fact, this sort of adulation and consequent high expectations
put a lot of pressure on Becker in his younger days. But I thought he always
carried himself off rather well. But I may be wrong about this. Any Becker
fans care to comment (especially German fans).

Goran is not just another 20-year old. He claims to represent
Croatia, wants to put Croatia on the world map, feels and cares deeply
about his new nation. Therefore he has to act a bit more responsibly than
an average 20 year old. More so, because regrettably many of these sports
heros are considered 'role models' for youngsters.

He brings a lot of attention to his country in this way, which is good,
because they will be needing help to rebuild after the fighting and
support in the interim.  So, he really is fighting for his country and
it's image and the legitimacy of their struggle.

I assume that you have read the article on him that was in Tennis mag a
while back.  The fellow's having quite a rough time of it.  A lot of his
peers are being shot and killed as you read this.  Perhaps even his
friends.  I don't like the way he wins too much with the serve alone but
I do admire him for going on the way he does, considering what is
happening to his country.  If he wasn't out there in the public light
and keeping his country's struggle in it the way he does, we would find
it quite all too easy to forget it's going on - and I think that makes
it worth it in the long run.

I forget what a Paris sized tournament is worth, but count on at least 200
points and probably 400 to the winner.
And yes, I understand Agassi is playing.

But it cannot be that straightforward since they both count their best 14 
results and so a certain number of points may be subtracted when they add
the Paris points, assuming either does well enough to count Paris.

Thanks for the news Chris! The only thing the sports network cares about

Now what happened to Goran Ivanisevic's big serve? Did he eat any hamburgers

The conversion to overhead serving was very long ago, sometime before the turn of
the century I believe.  Back then of course there were not "Pros".  The underhand
service is not totally unknown however, Ivan Lendl used it (once) in a match back
in the early 80's.  The advantage is surprise.  Hit well, it's like a drop shot
(you almost have to put underspin on it).  Try hitting one
 against someone who's
behind the baseline waiting to receive serve.

I don't mind if they break more easily (I do my own stringing now).  I
want a lively, playable string that bites the ball well.  Forten sells
something called 'Gear' string which has a cross-section of a gear

the gear design, it should give really good bite.  Did anyone play it

Is that a fact? Many companies claim that the power is generated because

leaves the string bed, setting up some kind of `resonance' effect -
forgive me if I use the Physics terms loosely, but I have to express my
self in some way. Conventional frames bend a lot, and stay bent even
after the ball leaves the string bed, causing the potential energy
stored in the flexed frame wasted. In that way, primarily, widebodies
are more efficient.

The accumulation of weight on the head should be extremely pronounced in
rackets like the Prince CTS ones (with a thicker head) and the Wilson
Hammer series (where the Hammer technology causes the weight
distribution to be head-biased).

Other rackets, like the Wilson Profile 2.7si (the second generation
profile) have a dual taper beam, which actually has a much thicker
throat and shoulders than head. I don't think the momentum transfer
theory works here. With more reason the momentum transfer theory should
not work in rackets like the old 1st generation widebody Wilson FPK,
which had a thick shaft but a very thin head.

Widebodies now enable manufacturers to make a racket flex differently at

widebodies came along, the variance of stiffness at different points
could not be accurately achieved.

Jim Courier is the highest-paid new-comer on the list, and 9th on
the list, at $9M. 
Monica Seles is ranked 10th and is the highest-ranking woman, at $8.5.
The rest are: Chang (8M) at 13th place, Graf (7.8M) at 14th, 
Edberg (7.3M) at 17th, Sabatini (6.5M) at 24th, Sampras (5.6M) at
28th, and Lendl (5M) at 33rd.

topping the list are Michael Jordan (36M) and Evander Holyfied
(28M).
