One factor to take into account, once you’ve decided which model of bike you want is that this bike fits your hand perfectly.

This is fundamental that the size of your racket grip fits well in your hand , the advice we give below are some general rules, if you’re more comfortable with a grip a little bigger or smaller does not matter, try to find the balance between telling you and your comfort.

Between the end of the racket (base) and the position of the hand holding the handle must vacate a width similar to the little finger.

When catching the racquet should be wide open like our little finger between the thumb and forefinger. Also must have a width as our little finger between the visible part of the palm and fingers to push the handle after grabbing the racket.

1. Play point by point without thinking about the score.
One of the main problems that need for competition is the loss of focus. It is very easy to let the mind wander and let us press for the score.
Ideally, a good player must play every point to its highest level in a state of mind and optimum performance. Giving too much of a focus point on the scoreboard makes our level of anxiety is out of balance and force us to make mistakes.

2. Focus only on seeing the ball .
Do not lose a point for not seeing the ball. I believe there is a tennis player who has not heard this statement many times. However even at high performance levels not to focus on the ball during the far point of contact remains the major cause of errors in a game. Especially when the pressure increases. The first thing a player is to miss the ball by focusing on the target or the opposing player.

3. Do not think of anything, not analyze.
This is a clear example where less is more. We often think that using the head on the court and is constantly thinking about how to perform better. The reality is that the tendency of most players is about to analyze. In tennis begins once the point is played by instinct based on their skills automated. Do not have time to think as he will hit the ball or where it will shoot. The player must recognize the situation and react.

4. Enjoy the party celebrating the points are won and forget those lost.
It is impossible to enjoy what we do if we are focusing mainly on what we do not work. Unfortunately too many players use this strategy during the game. When they lose the point is angry and criticize but when they win the points, do not care as if it were normal. With this mindset all the energy is focused on the negative and is no longer optimal performance. To compete at our highest level is essential to make something very positive competitive experience and only reversed this scheme we can achieve.

5. Perfectly focused at the point of contact.
This strategy is another way to make sure we’re keeping our eyes on the ball throughout the period, especially during the most important moment is the point of contact. Many players really if you are focused on the ball for the point, but just before the moment of contact to look up where they think the shot put or to the opponent to see where it moves. This movement of the head makes contact the ball not achieve the ideal and therefore fail the shot. The most critical way to focus on the ball is after the boat to the contact. Focusing on the ball during this time ensures a good contact point.

The last of the Spanish to leave the track was forced to do their best to the Ukraine Alexander Dolgopolov, he was surprised in the first set thanks to its powerful service, which had four aces. However, ‘Ferrua’ recovered his game in the second set and took an early ‘break’ to break open the scoring and lead (4-1), who was able to manage to force the third set and, incidentally, return the 6 – 3 to its rival.

Federer, seeded tenth, would be the only survivor of the Armada and, after a very even start in the third set, broke through his opponent’s service in the third game and held his serve, which allowed him to take the domain on the scoreboard.

However, achieving cost him his points and get into Ukrainian prison, who saved a match point up and kept his best service, with what he did that Valencian suffer until the end to clinch the victory with his serve. Read the rest of this entry »

It is true that there were no surprises, no Berdych or Soderling could sneak into the party of the biggest, but tennis was like the weather, unstable. Special mention goes to the tournament final, where the Swiss player was a roller coaster, a ship without direction.

Federer was conspicuous by his absence from the playing time now with no pattern of play, whipping, lives in a magic hat full of hits, but does not enjoy and you can see. He looks tired, erratic, stiff. Despite all reached the final, but still waiting to return the tennis implacable.

Is it the end of an era? It is rumored that doubts about the future of Federer walk the hallways of the ATP and the world of tennis. Switzerland’s first response has been swift but it is now: will join Paul Annacone, former coach of Pete Sampras, for a “trial period”

“I have a problem in his right leg, back loaded, and that will not let me play as I would. I need to rest. I can not concentrate on every point because I feel pain. If I’m healthy, I can with these rappers planes” was justified Fereres after losing to Berdych at Wimbledon.

Since then, the silent man did not move tab, undeterred assumed its position as world number three, while even in musical notation from Switzerland put the future of the Swiss player.

Something has changed

“After Roland Garros, Federer falls again in the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament. That sounds very strange. After his incredible record of 23 semi-finals in the big four, the former world number one had set their sights very high “the Swiss newspaper published ‘Le Temps of Geneva.”

“I’ve been looking to add someone to my team and I decided to spend a few days with Paul Annacone,” said Basel tennis website (www.rogerfederer.com). “We will explore our relationship in this trial period. Paul will work with my current team and I am excited to learn from this experience,” he adds.

Little or nothing, which suggest these statements Federer, because the truth is that he has long been seen playing without skipper, a whip of genius and located in the stage fright that awakens in his rivals. Too far from the predator that ruled with an iron hand circuit. The wrist of the best tennis player of all time looking for solutions in the recipe for Sampras, with the U.S. Open on the horizon.
