They're my pics bro and that's MY silverware I just headed the title to LEGION because I know he's a massive tennis fan like myself.

My favourite surface is hard court, US Open style. It's what I was brought up on and my home club's surface is that and I play on it the most often.

My worst surface is artificial grass and especially when it's wet as it then goes from bad to worse as when it's wet I just can't seem to get the ball over regulary but I only play on it once or twice a year so it's not that bad.

I also like real grass as the points are shorter and your serve goes 100mph faster than usual and I don't mind clay also as my topspin's work a treat on that surface and it's great for dropshots too

But overall hard court, without doubt.
Whoops, My bad Well then...CC to lefty for sharing the gold. Is clay still Used??I have never played the Game but enjoy the one on one.Really A deceptively intense mental sport. Now that Hingis has retired Its not as visually entertaining
Yep sure is, all of last August I was practising on clay and it's a good surface, I like it. The next major (French open) is on clay and watch Nadal storm it again .

As for a mental side, there is a big mental side to tennis definitely and I have to myself prepare mentally for tournaments and important matches etc as if your opponent is confident they are dangerous and are willing to take risks and it applies to yourself to and so you have to be in the right frame of mind before you step out onto court.

I buy the magazine "Ace" which is monthly and I once read to be fully hydrated before you go out on court, a few hours before the match you must drink a lot of water to ensure when you piss it is a really light colour to ensure maximum concentration and performance and to avoid dehydration.

BTW take a look at the Russian women they are FINE!!! Sharapova, Dementieva, Kirilenko etc Pure Hotties
