Default Tennis Master's Cup

I think this idea is really cool.

To determine the champion for the end of each tennis season instead of going purely by rankings, there is the Master's Cup. This is a pretty new thing.

It's a round robin between the 8 top ranked players--best record is teh winnar.

Discuss.

I think this is the second year they've done it? Not sure really.

It's on ESPN2.

I rock the eastern grip. It helps if you have good shoulder strength so you can keep your arms locked all the way through the shot as opposed to flopping around and stuff.

What kind of racquet do you play?

Can't really hit a backhand with a western grip.

I play with the old-skoo original Prince Graphite OS so I feel ya on the heavy, not powerful sticks.

I been using the wilson pro staff for a few years. I've been working on a one hand back hand but it's pretty damn tough to get a topspin shot like that. I suck. h:
