I suggest PRINCE.\n\nI suggest you purchase a racquet from the PRINCE O3 Series. The Prince O3 Series is huge and shall nearly definitely have the right racquet for you. The series contains not only original racquets, but also combinations with older racquets to perfect the collection.

Federer over Roddick, Henin-H over Mauresmo. May be wrong, but sounds like a good bet.

The flat serve is a very effective weapon, as it is the fastest serve. \n \n   \n  Steps:  \n1.   Grip the racket with a Continental grip, not a forehand grip (see the Related eHows).  \n  \n2.   Stand near the center mark for hitting down the centerline. Stand farther from the center mark for a wide, flat serve.  \n  \n3.   Assume the normal posture for a serve, with a sideways stance and your hands down.  \n  \n4.   Throw the racket to the "back-scratch" position as you toss the ball in front of you.  \n  \n5.   Toss the ball farther in front than you would for a slice, topspin or kick serve and farther to your right for right-handed hitters.  \n  \n6.   Throw your racket out of the back-scratch position, with your palm facing the net at contact with the ball.  \n  \n7.   Hit the ball with your arm fully extended.  \n  \n8.   Let your arm finish the serve on either the right or left side of your body.  \n  \n  \n  Tips:  \n Mix a flat serve with other service choices, so it will not be predictable to your opponent.  \n  \n Practice hitting down the line on the deuce side and serving wide on the ad side.  \n  \n  \n  Warnings:  \n Tennis is a physically demanding sport that can result in serious injury. We recommend that you seek the proper equipment and training before undertaking this activity.

Hey TopSpin, it really depends on what kind of foot you have. With that in mind I'll include a link to a similar question that was asked. You'll be able to find my answer and that might help a bit. But when it all comes down to it, the best shoes are the ones that you feel the best in. I play a lot and at one point I was going through a pair of shoes every month or two. I decided to give Wilson shoes a whirl because they have guarantees on most of their shoes. I wasn't a big fan because they were too heavy for my taste. For my foot I really like Nike--and especially their Air Zooms. I don't know if you remember the old Sampras shoes, but those were the greatest. It was like playing in my socks.\n\nIf you want shoes that aren't too expensive, then you can find good shoes in the Nike, Adidas and Wilson lines that aren't too pricey--and they all have shoes with guarantees, although the Nikes and Adidas with guarantees are a bit pricier.\n\nHere's an alternative that I use: I buy two pair of shoes. I buy a really nice pair and then I keep my eyes open for sales or a good less expensive, more durable pair. I then switch them off. I usually go to Tennis Warehouse and look for shoes on liquidation. Here's an example for you:\nI'd get a pair of the older Air Resolve (on liquidation; I'll add the link below) for $60 and then I'd keep my eyes open for other good deals on the liquidation list (you could also check out sites like Holibird Sports; I'll include a link to their close-out page). I have a pair of these Resolves. They've got a six-month guarantee on the outsole and they're pretty comfortable. Plus they've got a solid toe--you mentioned toe-dragging.\n\nGood luck. I know how hard it is to find a shoe that fits well.

Definitely Wimbledon.\n\nThere is so much history with the sport and if you ask any professional tennis player the one tournament they would like to win, they would pick Wimbledon

depends on your level and your swing (if it is fast or not), there are raquets more suitable for baseliners, other raquets are better for serve and volley players... \nyou should go to a tennis pro shop where you can ask for help and you should try the raquet before you buy it. In pro shop stores they ussualy have demo raquets.

there are basically two main kinds of rackets. \n\n1: heavy, normal sized "players" racquets. these are control-oriented racquets made for skilled players who have the strength and skill to provide their own power. in fact, pros weigh down their racquets even more than most heavy (12 oz or so) racquets. these racquets are good, and accurate, but many poeple believe they are too heavy and unforgiving for a less experienced player. \n\n2. player improvement racquets. these have oversize heads and light stiff frames that supposedly allow players to put more speed on the ball. also the larger heads are supposed to be more forgiving with a larger sweet spot. \n\na tweener racquet is a compromise between the two. not as wildly oversized as a player improvement racquet, and not as heavy as a players racquet.\n\n(my personal opinion is that everyone should buy heavy players racquets as most people will have the most problems keeping the ball in, and dont need a powerful racquet.)

The United States Tennis Association used to publish a rating guide....you used be able to closely rate yourself.....unless you are from Corpus Christi, Tx....all of their players fall at least 1-2 tiers from their actual ability.....and they win all the time....."go figure"....seriously, haven't played tennis competively....could never seem to get passed the Corpus district......check with USTA...maybe they have a web site and might have the ratings on it.......really don"t worry........unless you have been playing a really long time the type of racket does"t matter.....get a good reasonably priced one and then after you really get serious or better then you can think about upgrading.....besides, by that time you may have a "Nike" or "Wilson" endorsement contract and you will have to play with what they furnish you......"good luck on the tour"
