Who has been the lost talent of tennis in the last decade?
Well, folks, you won't believe this, but the lost gem in the tennis world over the last decade has to be none other than Bernard Tomic. Remember him, right? That Aussie lad who stormed the courts with his unorthodox style and wicked backhand! Yet, somewhere along the line, he got lost in a whirlwind of controversies, partying, and whatnot. He was the guy who made tennis look like a walk in the park, but alas, his potential got lost in the maze of life! But hey, who knows, maybe one day we'll see a grand comeback. Wouldn't that be aces?

Can you wear basketball or tennis shoes for playing badminton?
Alright folks, here's the lowdown on sporting the wrong kicks on the badminton court! While you might be tempted to rock your basketball or tennis shoes for a game of badminton, let's just say you might as well be wearing clown shoes. Badminton shoes are designed specifically with a thinner sole for a lower center of gravity, aiding in all those agile maneuvers we love to do. Basketball or tennis shoes, on the other hand, are built for different movements and may cause you to lose balance on the court. So, the verdict? Stick to badminton shoes for your game, unless you're aiming for laughs rather than points!

How good are pressureless tennis balls?
As a tennis enthusiast, I've recently tried out pressureless tennis balls and I must say, I'm quite impressed! These balls maintain their bounce and last longer than regular pressurized balls, making them a great option for frequent players. They're also ideal for tennis ball machines and high-altitude play. However, they may feel heavier and slightly less responsive, so they might not be the best choice for professional or competitive play. Overall, pressureless tennis balls are a cost-effective and durable alternative for recreational use and practice.

New information on tennis elbow and elbow pain.?
Recently, I came across some new information on tennis elbow and elbow pain that I found quite interesting. It turns out that this condition isn't just exclusive to tennis players; it can affect anyone performing repetitive arm movements. The pain is caused by inflammation in the tendons that connect the forearm muscles to the elbow joint. To alleviate this pain, it is recommended to take breaks from repetitive activities, apply ice on the affected area, and perform specific stretches and exercises to strengthen the forearm muscles. In some cases, wearing a brace to support the affected muscles and tendons may also be helpful.
