Massive tennis ball rant incoming.
After playing Washington, Cincinnati, and the US Open, plus a full week of training in New York beforehand, I got a VERY good feel for the Wilson US Open balls we were using and know EXACTLY what they should feel like off my racket. They were good balls, and I have no complaints about what we played with at those tournaments this summer.
But since coming home, my last two days of practice with Wilson US Open balls have been miserable. They are sold, marketed, and labeled as the same balls, but the way they come off my racket and feel couldnโt be more different.
After that many weeks using the tournament balls, I know exactly how they respond. The balls Iโm practicing with feel like literal green-dot kidsโ balls: incredibly soft, dead, and going nowhere. Iโm playing on a court with a similar speed to the courts at the Open as well just to be clear. Iโve tried balls from multiple cases to rule out a bad batch, and unfortunately, itโs been the same across the board. Other players Iโve spoken to since the Open have described the same thing.
The amount of effort I have to use to just produce a regular rally ball with these balls is insane. Iโm having to throw my whole body into shots and swing out of my shoes just to produce a solid rally ball. Beyond being frustrating, it feels like itโs creating bad habits (I would never swing this aggressively normally or else Iโd sent balls to the back fence or mistime every other shot) Iโm having to adjust the way I hit just to compensate for a ball that behaves nothing like the one we use in competition.
That leads to the obvious the bigger issue and the reason for the rant: we need to be able to train with the same balls we compete with, and in the past I feel like this wasnโt usually an issue.
It didnโt used to feel this way. There was consistency, and any small differences could usually be explained by the court or conditions. Over the last year and a half, though, Iโve noticed such a significant difference between retail balls from both Wilson and Dunlop and their tournament equivalents, which are supposed to be identical, that it completely changes how you want to construct points and take risks on shots and just play points in general. Iโm not exaggerating it really is making that big of a difference at the pro level.
The only positive I can take out of playing with these balls the last couple days is that it takes such more extra effort in every shot i hit at least it has been good cardio consistently having to swing so hard all the time ๐
Itโs disappointing that this has started to feel normal. Training is a lot less enjoyable, and a lot less productive, when youโre spending it practicing with balls that are so different from what youโll use when it matters.
Okay, rant over. Everyone go enjoy watching the rest of the Open :)

Avec le systรจme du classement mensuel, le jour de la sortie des nouveaux classements me manque !
C'รฉtait le meilleur jour de l'annรฉe. Tu te levais en deux secondes ร 7h du mat tout excitรฉ, tu te rendais sur le site de la FFT saturรฉ par tous les autres grands malades comme toi, mais tu รฉtais heureux et tu รฉpluchais pendant 1h tous les joueurs de ton palmarรจs, ceux que tu avais battus qui travaillaient pour toi depuis des mois (notamment les petits jeunes du dรฉbut de saison qui n'avaient pas encore digรฉrรฉ leur classement et qui finissaient l'annรฉe en jouant l'acier), et ceux qui t'avaient battus.
Puis tu passais aux palmarรจs de tous tes potes et des joueurs et joueuses de ton club. Tu leur demandais pour la forme "Alors, t'es combien" alors que tu avais dรฉjร tout en tรชte et tout analysรฉ. Le bon vieux temps.
Aujourd'hui, il n'y a plus aucune saveur. C'est un jour comme un autre.
