Pete Sampras’ memoir, 2008

His 2008 memoir, A Champion’s Mind: Lessons from a Life in Tennis is a good read. Among many things he covered in the book, was the fact that when he switched from double handed backhand to single hand, he lost many many matches.

再听他的书 还是有感触

他开始时是双反… 听从进监狱的医生教练… 改单反. 期间的路坑坑洼洼 输了好久 [偷笑]

前星期看迈阿密公开赛, 觉得有些闷: 男女都是底线 都是双反. 一个模子刻出来的. 闷死人

可喜男神Grigor Dimitrov (1991-; 2008, $26m) 不过没有赢. 也许双反确实有优势 [闭嘴]

On serve, Sampras uses continental grip.

~ continental grip → bevel 2: serve & volley
~ eastern forehand grip → bevel 3: hit the flat shots
~ western grip → bevel 5: forehand
~ semi western → bevel 4: spin & pace on forehand

… I’ve no idea which grip do I use -:). Just play.

Today, 5-1, 5-1 and 4-5 w/ Bruce, Graham and Neil: no doubles and feeling good about my serve. However, I failed to serve out the last set.
