Collins is playing an almost flawless match. This feels like the semis, not the first round.

stringer looked like he was putting in black widow strings or possibly the anthracite volkl strings..multidimensional for added spin.

he measured that out awfully fast :russ: id botch it if i did it that quick..likely 19 times from the middle which leaves extra on the ends

i legit need to know why she doesnt attempt any other effect on the ball aside from flat (besides the kick second serve)

has she not been taught these things, is incapable of these things or just doesnt want to overcomplicate things and focus on what she does best?

she gives herself so little margin for error on these swings and it sinks her when shes not perfect. it baffles me

Yeah she’s not it. Just wasn’t mentally tough enough for it. I hate to say it but that’s what it was. If she was, she would be better than this.

for those curious..and i believe i misspoke when i said 19 earlier on the mains

most racquets are 16 x 19 string pattern

mains are listed first and crosses second

when you string manually, you measure the mains first from the middle because thats the longest string and count by the amount of mains then you string the mains after counting out from the middle two where to start..then tie off at the designated holes. after the mains are done you do the same with the crosses and weave the strings over and under and eventually tie those off as well. easier said than done because one mistake and you have to often cut the whole thing out and do it again...also pro tip you change the tension 1 or 2 lbs tighter on the last strings on each side because generally strings lose tension when youre tying them off
