Warm Up To Winter Tennis:
We’ve had record lows the past week here in January but it shouldn’t stop us from playing a good game of tennis. The only problem is that the risk of injury increases in these conditions. Here are a few things you can do to avoid the injury bug.
1) Take a couple of laps around the court before you start
2) Wear a warm up suit that is not to binding
3) Stretch
4) Bounce around a lot on your feet during warm up
5) Even though after you play a little you feel warm it is a good idea to keep your warm up on, your mind says one thing but your body says another!
New Material in Wilson Tennis Racquets:
Wilson Tennis Racquets is coming out with a whole new line of racquets with a material referred to as BLX. Roger Federer and Juan Martin Delpotro will be introducing new racquets at the Australian Open this year. The material is cultivated from material near volcanoes called Basalt. Watch Federer and DelPotro’s game “Erupt” this year!
Will Justin Henin Make It Back To Number One?
Watch for the Belgian “Comeback kids” to make a big impact in the Women’s tour this year. Venus and Serena are on their way down. They’re not motivated enough. Also, the US Davis Cup team lost in the first round to Serbia. After Roddick who else do we have: Mardy Fish and James Blake? They’re on the downswing in their careers like the Williams sisters. Maybe Melanie Oudin will be the spark in U.S. Women’s Tennis this year? For the U.S. Men, it will be hard to catch up to Del Potro, Federer, Djokovic, Murray, Davydenko and let’s not forget Nadal. What a year ahead of us-stay tuned!
