Will The Winner Of The Women's Singles 2010 Wimbledon Be A Certain Danish Beauty?

By Andreas Stubbs

Caroline Wozniacki came to be in Denmark upon 11/07/90 and is presently ranked # 2 in the entire world. She's currently claimed seven WTA tour events and also lost in the 2009 US open final.

Wozniacki started out 2010 by having an exhibition competition inside Hong Kong in which she lost 2 singles games for Team Europe yet picked up two mixed doubles together with Stefan Edberg. Her first WTA competition offered a first round loss in three sets to Li Na in Sydney.

The lady was seeded 4th while in the Aussie Open, her very first top-8 seed inside a Grand Slam. She dropped to Li Na of China within the 4th round, 6-4, 6-3, a rematch of her 1st round loss in the Medibank International. In spite of her 4th round departure, Wozniacki accomplished her professional high ranking of No.3.

As the second seed at the actual BNP Paribas Open, Wozniacki got to the final, where the lady ended up being overcome by Jelena Jankovic, 6-2 6-4. Regardless of that, the girl's position in the finals secured a brand new professional high rank of World No. 2.

In the Sony Ericsson Open inside Miami, Wozniacki was defeated within the quarterfinals to Justine Henin 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-4.

Her next competition ended up being the MPS Group Championships inside Florida, where she eased to the semi-finals. Once in the semi-finals, she was matched with Elena Vesnina and battled back from 1-6, 3-5, to win the match and progress to the final, 1-6, 7-6(4), 6-4. Within Wozniacki's 2nd final of the year, she defeated Olga Govortsova, 6-2, 7-5, as well as rescued set point within the 2nd set.

Wozniacki's subsequent tournament had been the Family Circle Cup. Seeded number one, she achieved the semi-finals in which she retired versus Vera Zvonareva. She was down 4-2 to Zvonareva when she turned her ankle chasing after the short ball, plummeting to the tennis court and, in tears, she got it bound up. The actual tape did not help, though: she quit a few points later.

Choosing a Summer Tennis Camp for Your Teen

By Stephen Daniels

Tennis stars don't just happen: their success is the result of years of hard work that starts at a young age. Teen players who show a natural talent for the sport benefit from coaching at an early age. Not only do they learn the fundamentals of the sport, but coaching and preparation teaches them the concepts of practice and focus they will need to excel at the sport.

If your son or daughter is a budding professional athlete, you might want to consider sending him/her to a tennis summer camp this year. Many young people enjoy going to summer camps that are focused on something that they are passionate about; not only does it ensure that they will be challenged and enjoy themselves every day, but they will also enjoy the camaraderie of being around others their own age with the same interests.

Summer tennis camps can either be overnight or day programs. There is no right choice between the two -- only a choice that is right for you and your teen. Overnight programs will be more immersive experiences, but will require your teen to stay away from home for up to a few weeks. Day programs are frequently less expensive but might offer less individual instruction per day.

If you are thinking about an overnight tennis camp for your son or daughter, you'll want to consider elements outside of the sport. Even the most serious youth player can get burned out from playing tennis for hours every day. Check and see what other types of activities are offered. Do players get to take a break and do other fun activities like hiking, camping or evening social dances? You want the experience to be fun for your teen in addition to improving their game.

Don't be afraid to ask questions of the camp staff. Find out what age groups the students are paired with, and if there will be other players at their age and skill level. If your son or daughter needs extra instruction in certain elements of tennis, make sure the staff know about that and can give them the type of one-on-one attention they need. You can also find out what types of surfaces the facility uses for its courts -- tennis camps for teens can be a great chance to expose younger players to surfaces such as grass and clay for the first time.

Tennis Elbow No More!

By Bruce Lipsky, MS

The discomfort and nagging pain from tennis elbow can have a tremendous effect on your daily activities. For most individuals who are suffering with this injury, even grasping a coffee cup in the A.M. can be an extremely painful and difficult task to perform.

If you truly want to defeat this debilitating injury, there are 3 simple tennis elbow exercises you can perform to help increase the range of motion, decrease stiffness, improve mobility and strength of your injured muscles and tendons.

Tennis Elbow Exercises 1 - Wrist Extension For this exercise, you will again need the can of soup or a 1 liter of soda. Place a soup can or 1 liter of soda in your hand with palm facing downwards toward the floor. Support your forearm at the edge of a table or on your knee so that only your hand can move. Let the wrist down slowly go past parallel to almost 90 degrees with your forearm and then slowly come back up to parallel with the floor.

Tennis Elbow Exercises 2 - Forearm Pronation/Supination For this exercise, I recommend you use a hammer, wrench, something that you can get a nice grip on. Once you have something in your hand with forearm supported by the arm of a chair, your knee or coffee table. Rotate hand to palm down position, return to start position (hammer perpendicular to floor), rotate to palm up position, repeat. To increase or decrease the resistance, try moving your hand farther away or closer towards the head of the hammer. In other words, if you are grasping the hammer at the very end of the handle and the head of the hammer is the furthest away from your hand, then this will be the most challenging and greatest resistance for you

Tennis Elbow Exercises 3 - Finger Extension Interweave a thick rubber band around all five fingers. Keeping your elbow as straight as possible [but if you feel pain when you completely straighten your arm only straighten as far as you can without pain], try to straighten and spread your fingers outwards as if you were going to catch a softball. Hold for three seconds, then let your fingers relax naturally; do not close your hand completely. For added resistance, use a second rubber band. Repeat for 25 repetitions for 3 sets.

If you are serious about dissolving your elbow pain and want to get rid of this stubborn injury for good, I recommend you check out the internet's number one resource for tennis elbow treatment, where you will learn five simple techniques to eliminate your elbow pain in as little as 72 hours and completely cure it within 30 days!

Rafael Nadal - The New Tennis Star

By Edward Pagan

Sometimes known as 'Rafa,' Rafael Nadal is a local of Spain who has made a huge impact in the world of tennis.

Born June three, 1986 in Manacor, Mallorca, Rafael Nadal is the boy of Sebastian and Ana Maria Nadal. His sister, Maria Isabel, is five years younger than Rafael and is his only sibling.

Standing 6'1' and weighing 178 lbs, Rafael Nadal turned into a professional tennis player in 2001 after having played since four years old. Fans shouldn't let this young age trick them as Rafael Nadal nabbed his first championship at just eight years old.

Under the guidance and teaching of Toni Nadal, his uncle, Rafael Nadal started learning how to play tennis extraordinarily early in life as is evident from his early championship.

Toni, who remains Rafael's coach, is a particularly crucial part of this kid's success.

In 2005, he won 11 titles and also captured recognition as the 'Most Improved Player' for 2005 as named by the ATP.

In June 2006, Rafael Nadal won his second Roland Garros crown and also scored his hundredth claycourt career victory.

That same month, Rafael Nadal turned 20 and stopped his teen years with great success. It was during these years that Rafael Nadal won 16 career titles, which tied the record for the most titles won by a teenager.

Even though Rafael Nadal is right-handed, he plays left-handed and produces a backhand using both. As with many top sportsmen in their sport, Rafael Nadal is managed by IMG and is frequently found in Nike clothes.

Fans who would like to ask a signed photograph or simply send Rafael Nadal their best wishes are entreated to do so in care of his pro association.

It is usually recommended that fans not send any item that they cannot afford to lose, for example prized possessions and/or limited edition collectibles.

As with all mailed autograph requests, there's no guarantee of an answer.

Depending on the athlete's schedule, autographs may be authentic, secretarial, pre-printed or not possible to provide. Patience is the key to requesting autographs by mail, particularly when you are talking about an athlete as popular as Rafael Nadal.

Tips For Tennis Elbow Sufferers

By Bruce Lipsky, MS

If you suffer from tennis elbow then finding the right treatment methods is critical and essential for a complete recovery.

The following is a list of the top 5 treatment methods that have been proven to work together to cure and treat it.

Tennis elbow treatment and rehabillitation should be understood as if you have a soft tissue injury and therefore the treatment methods listed below follow a specific process which is they are numbered one through five.

Method #1The first and probably the most important method of treatment has to be rest. Rest is essential for any injury and it is essential if you plan on using any other methods to treat your tennis elbow symptoms.

Method #2The second method which is very effective in the treatment of elbow pain is to use ice. Any doctor will tell you to keep ice on your muscle injury or tendon injury as this will help to reduce the swelling, easy the pain, and help to reduce inflammation. This in turn also helps to speed up healing.

Method #3The third method is to use compression. You can get specific wraps that can be placed around your wrist and arm and this is another method that can be used to keep the swelling to a minimum and prevent any further damage to the muscles and tendons. Compression also helps to keep everything in place.

Method #4The fourth treatment method is elevation. If you can try to keep your arm elevated above heart level it will help to prevent further swelling and help to reduce pain. Swelling is often caused when there is too much blood in the site of the injury and by elevating your arm you will be reducing the amount of blood in this area.

Method #5If none of the above treatment methods are working and your symptoms are getting much worse, then you need to see your family doctor as you may have something more serious going on - like a broken bone. You will need to have a specialist look at your injury and correctly diagnose that you are suffering from tennis elbow.

Your medical professional will also determine what course of treatment is necessary for you. Once you begin to feel improvement and your symptoms lessen, thenyou can then take matters into your own hands and start to practice some of the tennis elbow exercises that are available, on a daily basis. You will need to start our simple but in time you will be able to increase the resistance that you use in these exercises.

You should never rush the resistance when doing tennis elbow exercises as this can make matters worse. You need to make sure that your muscles and tendons are ready.

That's the top 5 tennis elbow treatment methods that you can use. There is one more thing that should be discussed and that is whether you are taking pain relief medication. If so, then you should make sure that you are taking something that includes an anti-inflammatory to help keep the swelling down.

Tennis Fundamentals

By Gail Jones

I trust that this, my initial dissertation on the fundamentals of tennis, will be found useful by both novices and experts alike in the tennis world. I am trying to arouse interest in the student of the game of tennis by a somewhat lengthy discussion of match play, which I trust will shed a new light on the game of tennis.

I will address the beginner in my opening article and speak of certain things which are second nature to the experienced tennis player. The best tennis equipment is not a lot of use for the novice even if he really is trying to improve. Nevertheless, one has to purchase good quality; it is a saving eventually, as high quality goods far outlasts poor quality gear.

It is vital always to wear tennis apparel when playing tennis. The question of choosing a tennis racquet is a much more serious decision. I do not like to force a certain make of racquet upon any player, since all the famous brands are of excellent quality. However, the weight, balance, and size of the handle are the really important considerations when choosing a racquet frame, while good stringing is essential to get the best results.

After having acquired your racquet, make a firm decision to buy only good tennis balls, as a regular bounce is a great aid to advancement, while a "dead" ball is of no use at all. If you really want to advance at tennis and progress rapidly, I strongly advise you to see all the good tennis you can. Study the play of the best players and strive to copy their play. Read all the tennis instruction manuals you can get your hands on. They are a great assistance.

Much more tennis can be picked up off the tennis court in the study of theory and in watching the top players in play, than can ever be learned in one's own actual play. I do not mean that you should miss opportunities to play tennis, far from it. Play tennis whenever possible, but strive when playing to put into practice the theories you have read about or the strokes you have seen.

Never let yourself become discouraged by lack of progress. The method of playing some stroke you have worked on for weeks unsuccessfully, will suddenly come to you when least expected. Good tennis players are the product of very hard work. Very few players are born geniuses at the game. Tennis is a game that pays you dividends all your life. A tennis racquet is a letter of introduction in any city.

The fellowship of tennis is universal, for none but a fit sportsman can succeed in the game for any lengthy period of time. Tennis provides relaxation, excitement, exercise, and pure enjoyment to the player who is bound fast to his job until late afternoon.

The order of development that produces the quickest and most lasting results is: a. Concentration on the game. b. Keep the eye on the ball. c. Foot-work and weight-control. d. Strokes. e. Court position. f. Court generalship or match play. g. Tennis psychology.

Concentration. Tennis is played first with the mind. The most perfect racquet technique in the world will not be enough if the playing mind is wandering. There are many reasons for a distracted mind in a tennis match. The main one is lack of interest in the game. No one should play tennis with any expectation of real success unless he cares sufficiently about the game to be willing to do the practice necessary to learn the game correctly.

Pack it in immediately unless you are willing to work very hard. The weather, conditions of play or the noises in the gallery usually confuse even experienced match-players playing in new surroundings. Total concentration on the game is the only cure for a wandering mind, and the sooner that lesson is learned the more rapid the advancement of the player.

The best way to keep a match in mind is to play for every set, every game in the set, every point in the game and, finally, every shot in the point. A set is merely a conglomeration of made and missed shots, and the man who misses the least is the ultimate victor.

Tennis As An Activity That Has Entertained Many Over The Years

By Ben McGraw

Tennis seems to have changed a lot over the years. The style of play is a lot different to what it used to be like and the racquets have changed a lot too, I suppose a lot of the change seemed to occur around about the Eighties.

Let's just take a look back at some of the great players of the Eighties; not necessarily the best players of the Decade, but still some of the well known players.

The 1980's has to be synonymous with undoubtedly the greatest ever player to have graced the Tennis courts, that is until his retirement at an early age. This could only be the one and only Bjorn Borg.

One of the great serve and volley players of the Eighties was funnily enough another great Swedish player, Stefan Edberg. He just seemed to be able to serve and volley with ease, and this was a talent that took him to the world's number one by the late Eighties.

But not every great talent on the circuit at that time was Swedish, as a young German seemed to come to the fore in the Eighties, a certain Boris Becker. He won quite a few titles on the Tennis merry go round, but I suppose that he will always be remembered as the first teenager to win Wimbledon.

Ivan Lendl is the next person that I remember, as this Czech player had an amazing base line play. He was such a steady player, and he also won quite a few tournaments and a few grand slams as well.

I suppose the most memorable player of the Eighties had to be the American bad boy, John McEnroe. Not only was he a brilliant player at singles but he was a mean doubles player as well, and when things did not go all his own way, he always used to shout at the line judges "you cannot be serious, the ball was in!" - unforgettable and fun.

All of these played a major contribution to Tennis in the Eighties, along with many others, but when I think of Eighties Tennis, these are the ones I remember the most.
