Actually, tennis magazine calls it a control oriented racket and not very

The oversize has more of the trampoline effect, if you consider that power.

I believe it is not a widebody.  I seem to recall it is a constant 19mm.
Few people use it here because Donnay does not market heavily in the US.  The
answer may be different in Europe.

The pretence of amateurism has been completely dropped from track and field.  I
know less about swimming but I do know that swimmers are able to do commercial
endorsements and still be in the olympics, but not in the NCAA.  There are some
sports that have various restrictions, but certainly not track and field.

Petr Korda (as does his compatriot, Jana Novotna) uses a racquet made by
Volkyl.  Apparently, this is a European company, & it's supposedly a popular
name in Europe.  Hard to say what model it is, though.

     Some comments on the Best Shots in Tennis:

          Best serve:  Sampras deserves credit here as well due to
                       his acing of Agassi in the U.S. Open a few 
                       years ago.
                       Goran Iv...  currenly has the best serve!

          Best lob:    Mikael Pernfors by a landslide,  anyone who
                       has seen him play should know this.
                       Chang is one step behind him.

          Agassi has the best return of serve, and passing shots in the
     game today.  

     Anyone with more info on the women's  side, please post!!!!!!!!!!!

     Thank you.

Seconded. I've been using this overgrip myself for the past two
weeks (when the weather cooperated!) and really like the tacky
feeling. It holds its position very well - the edges don't
roll over. 

Does anyone know of a DC area source for the Bard overgrips? They
used to be carried by the tennis shop in Montgomery Mall, but I
can't find them anymore - and they were my previous favorites.

I disagree.  Regardless of what you or I think SHOULD happen, it is
clear that what IS happening is that the charade of amaturism is now
almost completely gone, not to return, in the Olympics (except for boxing).
Before the fall of the Eastern block, they had incentive to exclude western
pros.  Now, the Olympics is about making money just like everything else in
sports; and the bottom line is a whole lot more people will pay a whole lot
more to see the Dream Team, or Steffi Graf, than they will pay to see college

I have all the year-end Masters Tournament scores in my ATP Player Guide,
and can find no evidence of the Leconte-McEnroe match. Leconte played in
the round robin format in 1988, in a group with Wilander, Becker and Edberg.
McEnroe was not in the other group, either. In the 1986 tournament, Leconte
was in a group with Nystrom, Wilander and Becker, no McEnroe either. In 1985
(actually played in January of 1986) there was no round robin, and Leconte
lost in the 1st round to Andres Gomez. Those are the only 3 Masters tourneys
for Leconte. Leconte did bagel Boris Becker in the first set in 1986, but
lost 0-6, 6-1, 6-1.

In January, 1981, (1980 slam events as qualifying), Jose-Luis Clerc beat Mac
6-3, 6-0. That's the only bagel against Mac in the Masters.

In the 1983 French Open quarterfinals, Wilander beat Mac 1-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-0.
(There were then 3 bagels in the semis, incredibly; Noah beat Roger-Vasselin
by 6-3, 6-0, 6-0, and Wilander beat Higueras 7-5, 6-7, 6-3, 6-0. Noah won the
final.)

Mecir beat McEnroe on April 12, 1987, in the Dallas Buick WCT finals. I don't
have the score.

  Yannick Noah hit one against Aaron Krickstein once (1983 US Open?).
Made the highlights of the sports shows.  He even won the point
(Krickstein made a weak volley, and Noah passed).  I've seen
some other similar shots.  Jose Luis Clerc sometimes would hit
a shot beside him (rather than between the legs).  Lendl
and Edberg once played a behind the back facing the net
half volley.  Both won the points.  Wojtek Fibak once hit
a arm behind the back volley, and won that.  McEnroe once
thought he had won a game as Vince Van Pattern (?) hit
a shot that seemed to be going out, ticked the net, hit it
in, as Mac whirled around and half volleyed it into
the court.   It would be really neat if someone took all
the available tennis matches on tape and looked for the
most amazing shots and compiled them together.

How interesting that in this post (and some earlier ones I have seen),
the best *player*, Jim Courier, is not thought to be the best at
performing *any* of the various strokes.  Says a lot for overall
consistency and mental toughness, doesn't it?

I know it's terrible vain posting this here, but I'm trying to annoy Charles
Lin in revenge for all of those annoying trivia posts last year.

  When I started honours (1987), I had just moved into a flat with a friend of
mine. He was working in the same building, and rather than go to lunch with
the other honours students (slimy slobbering pack that they were), I would go
have lunch with him. A certain itinerant Ph.D. student who spent a lot of time
in the honours lab fondling a certain third year decided that I must be
sneaking off to have lunch by myself. Little did he know of my flatmate's huge
number of gorgeous co-workers. Now this particular student had earlier earned
the wrath of the lady from the Maths Library with his persistent whistling,
singing, shouting stomping and clapping. She confided in me: "That boy! He's
the noisiest person on campus!" She was right. Anyway, one day after lunch, he
proclaimed "WHY DO YOU HAVE LUNCH BY YOURSELF? YOU MUST HAVE NO FRIENDS! YOU
MUST BE FRIENDLESS! I THINK I SHALL CALL YOU FRIENDLESS FARRELL!"
  Of course, little did he know that such a nickname was particularly
appropriate. For example, it applies perfectly to someone who posts trivial
stories to worldwide newsgroups, and doesn't even mention tennis.

The 3 in major events:

1983 French Open quarterfinal: Noah def. Lendl 7-6, 6-2, 5-7, 6-0
1983 U.S. Open final: Connors def. Lendl 6-3, 6-7, 7-5, 6-0.

As Mr. Huseby mentioned, Agassi took the 3rd set 6-0 in Toronto a few weeks
ago.

Major event matches (Masters plus grand slam events) with 6-0 sets in favor
of Ivan Lendl: (only round of 16 onward are available to me at grand slams)

Masters
-------
1985 1st round: Lendl def. Tomas Smid 6-1, 6-0

Australian Open

1991 Quarterfinals: Lendl def. Goran Prpic 6-0, 7-6, 7-6

-----------

1985 Round of 16:   Lendl def. Aaron Krickstein 6-2, 6-2, 6-0
1986 Quarterfinals: Lendl def. Andres Gomez 6-7, 7-6, 6-0, 6-0
1986 Semifinals:    Lendl def. Johan Kriek 6-2, 6-1, 6-0
1987 Round of 16:   Lendl def. Joakim Nystrom 2-6, 6-1, 5-7, 6-0, 6-2

Wimbledon
---------
1989 Quarterfinals: Lendl def. Dan Goldie 7-6, 7-6, 6-0

U.S. Open
---------
1980 Round of 16:   Lendl def. Harold Solomon 6-1, 6-0, 6-0
1985 Round of 16:   Lendl def. Jaime Yzaga 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-0
1986 Final:         Lendl def. Miloslav Mecir 6-4, 6-2, 6-0
1987 Final:         Lendl def. Mats Wilander 6-7, 6-0, 7-6, 6-4
1988 Quarterfinals: Lendl def. Derrick Rostagno 6-2, 6-2, 6-0
1989 Quarterfinals: Lendl def. Tim Mayotte  6-4, 6-0, 6-1
1990 Round of 16:   Lendl def. Gilad Bloom 6-0, 6-3, 6-4
1991 1st Round:     Lendl def. Richard Krajicek  3-6, 2-6, 6-4, 7-6, 6-0

That's 16 matches, 17 6-0 sets for Lendl versus 3 6-0 sets against him
in the same set of tournaments. Notice that Lendl has scored a 6-0 set
in the last 7 U.S. Opens!  We'll see if he can keep the string alive
in a couple of weeks. 6-0 sets in two consecutive finals is pretty amazing.
