Dimitrov coasts in Newport debut

Dimitrov was one of three seeded players to celebrate a Fourth of July victory in the oldest grass court tennis tournament in America, moving along with No. 5 seed Floridian Alex Bogomolov (a 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 winner over Germany's Mischa Zverev) and 2010 Newport finalist, No. 6 seed Olivier Rochus of Belgium (a 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 winner over Australia's Greg Jones). Dimitrov won 88 percent of his first-service points (23) and saved three break points in beating Dabul in straight sets, taking the first set with service breaks in the third and seventh games and winning the second set with a service break in the fifth game. "My first time here, I knew that he (Dabul) was dangerous on grass, I was prepared to play well," said Dimitrov, who suffered a second round, three-hour loss at Wimbledon to Final Four member Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Tennis players!!!!? | Learning to Play Tennis

My 12 year old son is just learning to play tennis…we have a senior at Baylor University who is giving him lessons during the summer…and he is going to start to play in a very entry level tournament in the area, starting next week. We are hoping he will be good enought to make the jr high tennis team at the end of the 2008-09 school year. Could you recommend what kind of racquet he REALLY needs…not his dream racquet….but a suitable beginners’? his coach did tell us his grip was a 4 ‘ 3/8″…but help me out on everything else! I looked at the local sports store and they can get awfully pricey…please share your sensible advice. Thank you.

Best answer:

Answer by topseedvicki you can buy a really good racquet on ebay….Prince makes a great racquet….as well as Wilson and Head. The Prince Beast is a good beginner racquet. Just make sure the grip fits his hand. Most of those racquets mentioned above cost at least $ 100 if they are new. You can get a discontinued racquet for next to nothing. As your local sports store to demo a racquet…when you find one he likes, go to ebay and get it real cheap (used but cheap).

4 3/8 is the most used grip size in tennis. Every sports store carries frames in it and most Tennis Stores like The Golf & Tennis Co. in Royal Oak that has a hitting lane set up with a ball machine have hundreds of frames all in 3/8 grip size for people to demo prior to buying. If such a facility exists near you will be up to you to research or call around and find out. If not then I would suggest that you take advantage of the Tenniswarehouse Demo Program. http://www.tenniswarehouse.com allows you to have up to 4 frames shipped to you for one week for you to demo and then simply ship back. All it costs you is shipping. I would pick 95 or 100 square inch frames as a 90 would be too demanding for his skill level and a 105 or larger would make him too lazy and perhaps not develop quick enough. You don’t want to put a weak baby racquet in his hand he’s in HighSchool and the guys will tease him out of tennis. Don’t put too demanding of a players frame into them either or else he will play poorly and give up.

If you wanna go cheaper and make sure he enjoys playing then check out the liquidation page… They have both been playing for 2 years now and love the racquets despite being for players at the 4.0 level or higher. They have grown into them and are hitting well. I would recommend getting him one of them. You can pick one up new off ebay for under $ 50 or at a store for $ 75 such as Holabirds on line.
