Racket Smash Memorial - Nick Kyrgious

This may signal the end of any thoughts that Nick Kyrgious might win a slam or will ever be a #1 player.  I wanted him to get past his demons. It looks unlikely. It's a sad waste of talent. At least he can still earn a great living. I see now that his "I don't care" approach might be his best coping mechanism for making great money and still never reaching his potential due to this kind of outcome. It still seems good for tennis, either way.

They need a racket smashing box where no penalties are assessed and it won't ding up the court surface. They could take bets on how many smashes it takes the player to wear themselves out. Post Match - it should be part of any interview where maybe the winner gets to make observations on the technique involved. They could also have a shredder there for those not inclined to damage their arm smashing a racket on the court.

Teaching Pros - Handling your schedule

I'm old school on this. I haven't researched anything more exotic since until the last decade I only used yearly appointment books. Most of the guys my age, mid-60s that I knew made all their own calls and scheduled their own appointments even when working at clubs. 

 If you have multiple venues and spend days driving from place to place, it always seemed best to control your own scheduling. I will say that I had a cell phone as early as 1987 installed in my vehicles for this purpose. Smartphones have made it much easier with texting and voice messaging. 

 My first big jump to technology was buying a $250 answering machine that I had to special order in 1981 just so I wouldn't miss calls for lessons at home or in the pro shop. They didn't have voicemail back then. 

I bet there probably is a great application or subscription service that allows students to schedule without your help.   It depends on how much you want to handle your own scheduling. 

Good luck.

Mac upsets Nadal - Nadal demands to talk

 

This made me smile. Mac is being Mac. He has a BS meter that is connected directly to his mouth. It got him in trouble in the past for pointing out the obvious and here it is again.

Raducanu - Injured Again - What to do.

She's on a bad track right now. She won a slam without all of that intense weight training, and now it seems unattainable to repeat as the injuries pile up. After reading all the superb constructive comments about her situation, the idea of following the most successful and least injured pros is a great plan. 

She might try Novak's old coach Marian Vajda. He could help create her recovery plan and limit the foolishness of heavy weight training and instead focus on flexibility, injury prevention, and resilience. This formula might offer a longer career path.
