Here is an article about the new serve with side-by-side comparisons in slo-mo.

Cheers Mox. Really hard to say how this will impact the serve, the older one looked like there was more elasticity to it, this one looks a bit static. Let's see.

I'm too disappointed about this "boycott" crap to back Nole! He won't come back strong like Fedal, probably won't even make a major final, and will be lucky to take a couple Masters early in the season! He'll struggle without a very strong serve to cut some of these points short! Grinding it out with potential worry over his elbow will hamper him mentally if not just physically! I know I had to work harder when having elbow issues, you can't go all out; esp. on the serve! :whistle: :rolleyes: :ptennis:

OMG, Dude: They just basically put up this poll on ESPN. (Just varied enough not to be a complete steal.)

This is their poll:

A. Dominant Return (wins multiple Majors)
B. Wins 1 Major & Qualifies for ATP finals
C. No Major Title but stays healthy
D. Elbow Issues continue (Incomplete year)

Really hope ESPN hires @El Dude. Will be really happy for him. And -- big plus -- I can even picture @Federberg at his living room thinking "Bugger off, mate! I bloody hate those commentators"!!

Lol! With the greatest of respect I don’t sit around waiting to critique what he says. If I see something that makes no sense I call it out. He just happens to do that more frequently than others :lol6:
