In this blog I will be following pro tournaments and professional players as well as reviewing popular tennis products. One of the people that I will be focusing on is Rafael Nadal because, well, hes the best. If you follow professional tennis you will probably know why, but for those that don't here's the scoop on Nadal.

Like I said, he is currently the best male tennis player in the world. He is Spanish and won the 2008 Olympic gold medal for Spain, but his successes don't stop there. He has won an amazing 13 Grand Slam singles titles and 26 ATP World Tour Masters. The guy is basically unstoppable.

I just bought a pair of the new NIKE LUNAR BALLISTEC hard court tennis shoes. Here's the scoop on them:
I know its a little immature of me but the whole reason I chose these shoes over Adidas barricades or Asics Gel resolution 5s are because they look incredible. Tennis shoes are typically bulky and plain and just look all around clunky, and I always thought they needed to look like that in order to be durable and supportive, but these Nikes blew all those stereotypes to peices. I mean look at these beauties:

But they not only look beautiful, they are a solid pair of shoes. They have great arch and heel support, have been pretty dang comfortable so far, and are way light. Their only downside is they have already shown signs of wear on the toe and heel. If your looking for durability you would do better with a pair of Nike air max cage or the Adidas barricades.

A Little about Me

Don't get me wrong this isn't going to be a personal journal/diary type incredibly annoying blog. This blog is all about tennis, pure and simple. But I thought you might like to know a little bit about the person that's blog you're reading. I live on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu, am 17 years old, and love tennis. I play varsity first singles at my high school and spend my free time surfing, swimming, diving, hiking, hanging with friends, and playing tennis. I have spent hours and hours researching different tennis products and players and I feel like I would be selfish not to share some of what I have found with the rest of you. So, welcome to my blog! I am the Tennis Teller.
