At least this is still true for me. My USTA membership includes
subscriptions to the Tennis magazine (standard to all members)
as well as Tennis Week. Considering that the membership due is
only $20 a year, it is a pretty good deal. Whether a USTA member
gets Tennis Week automatically or not depends on the section
that member belongs to. My address is in New Jersey, which belongs
to the Eastern Section (NY and NJ).

Tennis Week is pretty much dedicated to covering professional tennis.
It contains good articles about tournaments and quite a bit of gossip
too. It appears to have some bias towards those players who are
endorsed by companies that advertise there. Of course, that is probably
true for many publications.

>If these are doubles rankings why only one name against each ranking.

These are doubles rankings for individuals, not for teams. A player
may have different partners in different tournaments, and there are
mixed doubles results factored into these rankings, I think. For the
teams that are quite steady throughout the year, the two members' rankings
seem to be very close, as in the case of Grabb and Reneberg. I guess
that makes sense.

The $700,000 Hopman Cup exhibition will commence in Perth, Australia
tomorrow.  A total of 12 nations are competing... the format of play
has been described by Shun Cheung a few articles back.

The top three seeds are as follows:

    1. Germany (Graf/Stich)
    2. Czech republic (Korda/Novotna)
    3. Spain (E. Sanchez/Sanchez Vicario)

(Czechoslovakia has formally split into the two nations of the Czech
 Republic and Slovakia.)

The competition begins Saturday morning, Australia time.  The first
"tie" is Australia (Masur/Provis) vs. South Africa (Ferreira/Coetzer).
Last year Switzerland won the Cup.

There is a swing called "window wipering". It requires using your wrist with
the wiping motion. Why don't you change your swing to this one?
However, I am not really sure that I am giving you the right advice.
What do others think?

So take the opposite extreme.  Forget about strings, and just use a
hard board.  The reason we don't do that is the elasticity of the
strings returns more of the ball's energy back to it.

This is from Tennis magazine discussing the Davis Cup
final.

  "Indeed, McEnroe was looser than anyone.  While
   McEnroe's days as the singles workhorse may be
   behind, he is held in awe by his young teammates.
   At a pre-match press conference, McEnroe was re-
   hashing Cup venues he has known and hated, and 
   used the word "vociferous" to describe the South
   American crowds."

  "When his teammates oohed over his word choice,
   McEnroe good-naturedly chided them:  "Well, I 
   went to college.  And, unlike the three people
   to my left, I finished high school, too."  When
   Courier offered that he had finished high school, 
   too, McEnroe asked,  "Oh, did Nick [Bolleteieri]
   buy you one of those certificates?"



Pretty brutal, huh?  I think the kids should be encouraged
to stay in school, until at least 17.  It's ironic that the
sport of the elite country club people is dominated by the
uneducated....

Well, I don't exactly like the fact that people are so crazy about
players with "character" and the "image is everything" society either,
but that is the way things seem to be, especially for the male players.
As someone else already pointed out, that is precisely why Agassi
winning his first Grand Slam title is such as big deal, and Seles
winning three in a year for the second year in a row is ignored.
Well, Seles isn't American, but Courier, winning both the Australian
and French Open, is also ignored. Think about which players have
a lot of TV commercials. Those are the ones who have appeal to the
general public. In the final year of the "World Tennis" magazine,
its readership dropped by some 30% or so (can't remember the exact
number), and it just couldn't get enough advertisers. That pretty
much reflects the popularity of professional tennis in the US. :-(

Before 1980, basketball wasn't that popular as a professional sport
in the US. The "Bird vs. Magic" rivalry changed that in a hurry
and now is of course the "Air Jordan" era. Tennis wasn't that popular
in Germany until Becker and Graf started winning major titles.
I wouldn't claim that I know exactly what tennis needs to do in
order to compete with the three well established sports in the US,
but if there is something similar to the "Jimmy vs. Mac" rivalry
between two Americans, there might be a chance.

Notes: The "??" is the Japanese men's representative... I'd rather not
botch his name, so somebody with the official roster might be kind
enough to provide the detail.  He is ranked in the 400's.

The order of play is as above, first the women's match, then the men's,
then the mixed doubles.  If the victory is already decisive, then the 
mixed doubles is played as best-of-1-set.

Australia next meets the Czech republic, while Switzerland will take
on Spain.

Look at it this way: standing flat on the ground, how high can you jump?
Standing on a trampoline, how much higher  can you jump relative to when you
were on the ground?  I won't go into detail about the principles involved, but
this does not defy common sense.  There is a certain extreme to which this will
no longer work since other forces are involved.  A "loose" trampoline may be
fine if you are doing acrobatic flips at ground level, but if you were to
jump from the observation floor of the Sears tower, it would be a very bad
idea to have that same trampoline at ground level. :-)  And if you have a 6"
rubberband vs. a 5-ft. one, it would certainly take forever to stretch the
5-footer to it's limit.  And once you do that, if you were to "launch"
something with it, there would be absolutely no control (relative to the 6"),
air friction etc. will be involved, & the object will lose speed simply
travelling to point zero.  Similarly, a racquet strung a 55 will impart more
power than one strung at 70, but a rcquet strung at 20 would be like a flimsy
net: by the time the ball reaches the strings' limits, it will already have
started losing velocity even before rebounding to point zero (the racquet
plane)...& probably get tangled in the strings  if they are that loose. :-)

For those who are not familiar with it, the Hopman Cup is a mixed
doubles exhibition held in Perth, Australia. Each "tie" is best of
three matches including women's and men's singles as well as mixed
doubles. Graf is representing Germany at the Hopman Cup for the second
year in a row. However, her partner will be Stich instead of Becker
this time. Other high seeds include Novotna and Korda for Czechoslovakia
(or whatever the correct name is by January), Arantxa and Emilio Sanchez
for Spain, Mary Joe Fernandez and Washington for the USA, etc. Our
friends "down under" probably can provide more details.

ESPN will have some tape delayed coverage on Sunday, January 10
on the Hopman Cup.

This is the holiday season; most netters are busy with other things
and there aren't any major tournaments going on. Unlike the Olympics,
professional tennis is a year-around sport. The Australian Open is
just three weeks away while warm up tournaments and the Hopman Cup
will begin even sooner. I am sure that this group will get busy again
very soon.

Before people start asking, the 1993 Australian Open is from Monday,
January 18 to Sunday, January 31.

SOME NEWS FROM DOWN UNDER ON THE HOPMAN CUP

i am now currently watching the Men's game of Switzerland vs. Spain
in which Swiss Davis Cup player Claudio Mezzadri (atp:97) is playing
Emilo Sanchez (atp:21). The score to date is :


spain - sanchez
4   5
6   2
switzerland - mezzadri

mezzadri, seems to have faltered after his first set, sanchez has not
played any match for about 4 weeks, where as mezzadri has played a 3
setter against japan''s yamamoto (i think!!) also, the hopman cup is
played on either a hard-court or rebound ace not a clay court.

In the earlier women's match, Manuela Malleva-Frag. lost 6-1 0-6 3-6
to spain's arantxa sanchez

tonite is the debut of the usa's malavai washington and mary joe
fernandez.

tommorrow (tues) the czech. republic play australia . the czech's are
seeded second.
and on tues. nite, a great 3 matches with ukraine vs. germany!!
michael stich and steffi will strut their stuff. but be wary of andrei
medvedev, his record against stich is "0-0" and had an impressive
straight sets win against top 20 player thomas muster of holland
yesterday. medvedev is similar to ivanisevic in his style of play,
except he is somewhat less emotional. at only 18, see him rising as a
real future star.

According to 'The London Times',  Becker gave two reasons for not playing G.S.
Cup in Munich: he'd like to get married and he doesn't like the excessive prize
money offered by the tournament. Let's hope marriage, if there is any, will 
help his game.

My personal point of view about all anti-Becker-relating-posting postings:
1) This is an open public place to express any ideas;
2) It's simply unfair that, as far as I know, NO Edberg-, or Lendl-, or
Mac-relating postings have been attacked and even forbidened here, what's wrong
with Becker-relating postings?  If there is too many, I would say that's just
a fact among tennis fans or posters. One should accept  the PERCENTAGE instead 
of mute it.
3) Becker-relating posters never say NO MORE to other postings.
