This is of course a matter of opinion, but the announcement for
the site was made about 11 weeks before the final and one week
before the semi. I don't see why they couldn't wait another week
until the US was officially in the final before announcing the
site selection to the PUBLIC. Internally, they can always let the
people in Fort Worth know anyway so that they can get ready; that
is not the reason for the public announcement. Just think about
how the Swedish players might feel when they heard the announcement
before the semi. Sometime that can really fire up your opponent
and give yourself additional trouble. Fortunately the US won
or this case could have been somewhat a joke against the USTA.

While it is true that in certain cases the surface can be decide
later on, in this case, I think the site is some park in downtown
Fort Worth and it will be hard courts. The surface was also decided
at the same time the cite was announced. Again, can someone confirm
that?

   It's really a simple concept.   On the first day of play, the
number one player of one team plays the number two of the other.  So
the first day between US and Sweden had Courier v. Kulti and
Edberg v. Agassi.  On the third day (the second being doubles), they
"reverse" the ordering, and Courier would have played Edberg (had
he not dropped out) and Agassi played Kulti.

    There isn't much in the way of implications.  Assuming the number
one players are much stronger than the number two players, then we
should have had a 1-1 tie after the first day.  Didn't happen though
since Agassi is a very strong number 2, and one might argue, better
suited to beating Edberg than Courier.

The ProStaff Classic is the heaviest among all I have used. It's 335g,
whatever the number of ounces that is. It feels solid, and not much
vibration when it has a dampener on. You should know that the highest
recommended tension is 65 pounds and if you want stiffer racquet then
you should look for something else. But you can always use stiffer strings
such as the Prince Problend, can't you?

The weight gives me a lot more power when serving and baseline smashing.
Anyways, you are not playing badminton or PingPong, a little extra weight
never hurts.

The other thing about the Pro Staff is its looks. I just love the 
"heavy sword" feel. The Prince Synergy series are fine, but I hate any
widebody racquets or anything with a swelling head. This is a purely
personal thing, however.

   There is really no "correct grip size".  Some places have charts, but
I think personally that you should choose whatever feels comfortable.
A rule of thumb is that you choose the largest size which feels
comfortable.   The idea is that with a larger grip you can tell which grip
you are using (by that, I mean you can tell how your racquet is
oriented -- something you'll figure out if you take lessons or
read books about tennis) and that it ought to be more stable 
since your hand holds a bigger portion.  However, some people
do prefer smaller grips.   As it is, there isn't so much choice.
Typically, only a 4 3/8, 4 1/2 or 4 5/8 inch grip is commonly
available.  It's hard to find grips that are smaller or larger
though they used to go down as low as 4 1/8 inch and up to
4 7/8 inch (in diameter).  Finally, there is one other factor.
Some (very few, fortunately) racquet companies have certain
of their racquets (I think Yonex is one) that have the weight
of the racquet varying with the grip size, so that a 4 3/8 inch
grip racquet is lighter than a 4 5/8 inch grip racquet.  Most
racquets weigh the same for all grip sizes, and weight can
have a big factor in determining the feel of the racquet.

   Hope this helps.

   No, and don't try.  Rackets that are made to be strung diagonally
have special gromets, where the strings would be pulled sideways. 
Normal rackets have gromets that are made to go up and down, and side
to side.  If you did string a normal racket diagonally, you will not
have matching gromets to do so.  

   I mean to say string holes, no necessay gromets ...

       Numbers on balls are simply to aid in identifying which balls are yours
   and which ones are not.  Many times, you will find side-by-side tennis
   courts and your balls can get mixed in with the balls of those playing in
   the other courts.  Numbering helps you tell which balls are yours.

Organization: College of Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park
Reply-To: clin@eng.umd.edu (Charles C. Lin)

   I watched the essentially meaningless match between Larsson and
Courier.  By meaningless,  I mean that the result won't affect the
fact that the US has already won the match against Sweden.  This
match was reduced to a best of three set match, and Edberg, who
claimed that he was fatigued,  did not play today so that
Magnus Larsson could play.

   Initially, I thought Courier was going to dominate, and that
Larsson didn't have the kind of weapons to bother Courier, since
Courier had a power forehand that Larsson didn't appear to have.
When he won the first set, 6-2, Courier looked like he would take
the second set easily.   This was not to be the case.   Larsson
started serving better, and hitting his forehand better, and
it turned out to be pretty close.  I think Larsson started off
with an early break, but Courier eventually got it back.  They
went to a tiebreaker where Courier had a chance to win, but
Larsson won forcing a third set.

   The third set also stayed very close, and it, too, went
to a tiebreaker.   During that tiebreaker, Courier played a few
loose points, and that perhaps did him in.  He was down 6-3, and
served an ace to get his fourth, then was in trouble when Larsson
hit a good forehand which Courier barely got to, and which
Larsson ended up trying to drop shot.  Courier ran it down, tossed
up a lob, and won the point.   Larsson won the match on his serve.

   Gorman claimed that this was a bit hard on Courier since they
had already celebrated, and he wasn't going to face Edberg as
was originally planned.  Courier now has a 2-4 record in Davis
Cup play.

   The crowd seemed reasonably polite as far as I could tell.

   Early on in the match,  Drysdale brought up the subject of
how much money top players made, and he felt that a number one
player could make at least three to five million dollars (US)
outside tournament wins.   Stolle felt the number was low and said
that eight to ten million dollars would be more accurate, and
it was mentioned that Becker was making at least one million dollars
a month when he was on top (or twelve million dollars a year).

   They also said that the top forty money makers in sports had
more tennis players than any other sport.  I do not know if they
included this outside earning.  So, it sounds like some like
a Becker could make up to fifteen million dollars a year
excluding winnings from tournament play.  Of course, you either
have to be near the top of the game, or have the kind of flash
that an Agassi or Capriati has  -- something that can generate
interest.

    For some reason, people are willing to pay a lot of money
to have players endorse products or show up to certain events.

IMHO a news group is as good as the articles posted to it. I used to
read a basketball group until it became the forum for fans of team A
flaming fans of team B, bragging about every victory, etc. If this
group deteriorates, some of the nice people such as Anne will simply
be driven away. Some of us have been trying to convince her to return;
at least I haven't been successful so far. I guess it is very unfair
for us to expect her to provide free service and make her (and others
too) read offensive articles in return or just post but not read from
the group. In most cases, you really have to read an article before
finding out whether it is offensive or not; the subject line isn't
always obvious.

Anne gets her information from the USA Today. I buy the same newspaper
every day, and it didn't take very long to figure out what Anne reads
(she used to make the same errors as the USA Today did). I just don't
have the time nor the patience to type the results onto the computer
day after day. Those who have access to clari.sports.tennis can get
daily results from there too.

I miss Anne as well. :-(

Actually, I believe Seles is No. 1 because she is the best player right
now. That can be taken to mean mental toughness or consistency, or both.
Being no. 1 doesn't depend on your ability to beat certain players, it depends
on your ability to beat those players you run into. We have seen top
players like Courier have trouble with unseeded players. There are also
those players, that can beat the top seeded players, but just can't get
past players in the 20's and 30's. That makes it difficult for them to
really improve their ranking. It is all understandable, when you
consider the fact that everyone pretty much has their own game, and some
players just know how to beat you at it, regardless of their ranking. If
you can't get past lower ranked players to get to the no. 1 player you
