Leif S & Lindsay D on "Luxilon String"
For years I've been trying to get players to
understand that stiff, polyester strings are not for everyone. Read the
following (condensed version) and let me know what you think.
An interesting conversation took place last week during the
women's year end championships in Istanbul. Leif Shiras who was ranked as high
as 31 in the world, and former world #1 Lindsey Davenport, were commentating
during the Serena-Azerenka match. It was brought up that Serena who had been
using natural gut for years, now uses a blend of natural gut and
"Luxillon." (As ususal they have no idea which particular Luxillon
string Serena uses.)Tho following has been heavily edited. Lindsey: The
Luxillon gives her a little more control and spin. You lose feel and touch
especially at the net but that is a lost art anyway. Leif: I do a lot of the
Champions Tour events. Many of the guys are using Luxillon. Lindsey: How are
their arms? Leif: Oh their arms are killing them! Leif: So you wouldn't
recommend Luxillon strings for recreational players. Lindsey: Not a great idea.

King Rafa inaugurates Nadal Tennis School in India
World No. 1 Rafael Nadal arrived in India late on Saturday night and inaugurated the Nadal Tennis School at the Anantapur Sports Village in Andhra Pradesh on Sunday. The tennis star quietly slipped in to the country unnoticed. The Spaniard was supposed to be in India for three days but had to cut short his trip after missing a flight and spent only a day at his newly-inaugurated academy set up in collaboration with Fundacion Vincente Ferrer (FVF), the Spanish arm of the Rural Development Trust (RDT), an Anantapur-based NGO.
He arrived in Bangalore late on Saturday night and drove down to Anantapur. The center court was inaugurated at 9.30am following which he interacted with a few children from the school and played tennis with them.
District collector of Anantapur Dr B Janardhan Reddy told DNA, “I had a chance meeting with him as I was close to the stadium and I even got to hit a few balls with him.”
The academy currently has three clay courts while plans are on to expand the place. He was accompanied by his mother Ana Maria Parera. Rafa will return home and get some much needed rest before the season-ending London Masters starting November 21.
