I'm not talking about paint jobs, but actual types of racquets and brands of racquets. In the last two years he's been through at least 4 different types and that doesn't include the times he's switched back to old frames. <br /><br />In all my years watching tennis, that is completely unprecedented for a guy at his level. If the pros do make a change they stick with it for an extended period of time, not a few months. That's the kind of junk all us club level players do, not real professionals. <br /><br />So, is it any wonder his results are all over the place. I'm guessing a lot of those switches are down to money but whoever is advising him really needs to be dumped immediately because they're helping to shatter what little confidence he does have. And all those changes show that he doesn't have faith in his ability.Tonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-77944338045695035662012-08-06T18:59:48.101-04:002012-08-06T18:59:48.101-04:00not only did he lose 6-0 in the third, he won only...not only did he lose 6-0 in the third, he won only 26% of the points.

He is now 2-19 on the season, and an eye popping 2-7 after WINNING the first set of a match! He has also lost 6 straight matches after winning the opening set. Hasnt won a match since Memphis in February, 16 straight losses. This is a Vince Spadea type drought. He has a 4th round US Open to defend followed by a final in Bangkok. Most likely will fall out of the Top 200 by end of September. Really should head back to the Challenger circuit and try to get some wins under his belt. Sad considering this time last year was making his best run as a pro and looked to be realizing his potential.Austinnoreply@blogger.com
