In tennis what does last direct ecceptance mean?
80514
last direct acceptance means that the person was the last player diectly gaining entrance into the tournament draw.  Also known as the ranking cut-off for direct acceptance.  There are also exemptions like wild cards and special exemptions such as players that were off tour and coming back from injury.  Those players have what is called a protected ranking for direct entry for as long as they were for off tour in most cases.  Hope this helps.

The most recent tournaments played and last so-many games played.\nBut it is open to interpretation. Why else is USA 5th in the world.

"Love" is the term used in tennis where you would otherwise use zero or nill. It comes from the world l'oeuf which is French for egg and is the shape of a zero!\n\nSo it is not used when you score, but when you haven't scored yet.

Mais tu sais bien que ça va être chaud car la terre battue c'est le domaine de Nadal; c'est plus lent et c'est vraiment sa surface de prédilection.\nObjectivement, Federer a tout les coups pour battre Nadal mais si l'on regarde la finale de cet été, qu'est-ce que l'on a vu? On a vu que Federer a lâché physiquement et mentalement devant la combativité de Nadal sur cette surface et sous le soleil.\nConclusion: Federer peut gagner mais il va falloir qu'il s'entraine sérieusement sur cette surface et de préférence sous le soleil car s'il y a un seul gars qui peut le battre sur terre battue, c'est Nadal.Ca n'empêche que je voudrais bien voir Federer gagner sur cette surface...on verra bien.

F.E.C. Fanatical Eye Concentration. It's what makes a player great. Be it baseball, tennis, soccer or any sport that involves a ball....keep your eye on the ball is an understatement. When playing tennis you definately should watch /focus on the ball all the way into your strings. Try hitting a golf ball and picking your head up at the last second....bet you don't hit it as well.

It means to thoroughly dominate your opponent by not giving them a chance to do anything.  Essentially it's a billiards term - to knock in your remaining balls all in a row without giving up your shot, thus not allowing your opponent to come to the table to have a shot at winning.  In other sports, it means to simply beat the tar out of your opponent, not giving them a chance to come back and win.

I feel I can answer this question well because I've not only been a tennis player for the last 37 years, I'm also a Mechanical Engineer as well as a nationally certified  tennis instructor.\n\nThe connection of the racquet's shaft to the racquet's head affects the location of the sweet spot. And, it's always better to have the sweet spot located further from the direction of the grip because you gain greater leverage and, therefore, more power.\n\nSince the shaft has the tendency to move the sweet spot in the wrong direction (away from the head and closer to the grip), the racquet designers make the head oval, instead of circular, to overcome this tendency. Indeed, the elongation of the oval head returns the sweet spot to a position higher on the head thereby restoring power.

I agree with nyyjeterlover02.\n\n1.  Force your opponent out of their comfort zone. \nThe person your most likely playing has a pattern, or a winning formula in which they unknowingly stick to.  May be they like baseline-baseline play only.  May be they ring around your shot to return the ball only with their power forehand.  In cases like this, either draw him toward the net with drop shots, or concentrate your shot to his backhand.  In addition, vary your shots with topspins, chops, angle shots, and see how he reacts to them.  This all of course is easier said than done, but doable.\n\n2.  Know your opponent as well as yourself.\nWith all due respect, your probably thinking that there is nothing about your game that is wrong.  How do you react in a pressure situation game?  What will you do when he rushes you at the net all of a sudden?  How are you going to counteract any power serves he has?  What are your strengths and weaknesses, and how can you capitalize/compensate for it?\n\n3.  Feel the center.\nFeel the center of your opponent and the tennis court, and feel the balance/imbalance of your opponent.  Is your opponent's momentum gaining or losing?  How will you respond?\n\n4.  Tennis is mental.\nMaster the mental aspect of tennis, and you'll see your game improve.\n\nBest

Seeding is the expected order of finish of players in a tournament. In the pro ranks, this is based on the point system, which is based on past performance in tournaments.\nIn amateur tennis, a tournament committee or tournament chair will usually make an educated guess about the ranking of players. Usually there is no formal point system to use, so the ranking often will be based on more subjective criteria than for pro tournaments.\nThe purpose is to insure that the "better" players do not meet until later in the tournament. Seeds 1 & 2 always are on top and bottom; 3 & 4 draw for their spots on the top or lower half of the draw; seeds 5, 6, 7, & 8 draw for their positions in each quarter of the draw; etc.\nIn general, seeding is only as effective as the information it's based on. Even in the pros, with records based on all types of tournaments, seeding at Wimbledon and the French is usually suspect. E.g., a strong grasscourt player such as Henman is likely to be seeded lower than his ability because of losses on other court surfaces.

The major changes has been the use of hands, let serves, rally scoring, and the libreo.\n\nServe Receive -- During the fifties and sixties, you could receive serve with your hands. From the sixties to the eighties, this was banned.  Since the nineties, it became legal, once again.\n\nBlocking -- A half a century ago, you could not penetrate the net on the block. Now you can. Two decades ago, you could block the serve. Now, you can't.\n\nTwo decades ago, the antennea was a ball's length outside the court. Now they have moved in, and align with the court.\n\nLibero - a non-rotating, non-serving backrow player.\n\nLet serve - serves may touch the net. Previously, if a serve touched the net, it was a foul, and loss of serve.\n\nRally scoring -- every volley results in a point. Previously, one could only score a point if one had the serve. Otherwise, if one won a volley (say that five times fast) one did not score a point, but instead "won" back the serve from his opponent (a "side-out"), and with it, an opportunity to score a point in the next volley.

both\nit's whatever serve the game calls for. if you try a jump serve and they're having a tough time receiving it, keep it up, you found one of their weaknesses. but when they start to adjust to it, switch it up and try to challenge them again. if you don't have good control on your jump serve, don't do it. it's more embarassing to miss a jump serve so unless you're confident in it, don't use it. \nand regular serving, you'll usually have better control. it's harder to spot serve with a jump serve. so if you're going for placement, go with regular. if you're going for power and speed, go with jump (IF you can)\n\nbut always remember, never keep serving the same way too long! unless they really just CANT receive it, you need to change it up. they'll start to adjust too much

what the hell does this have to do with tennis?

I have been around tennis professionals for quite some time.  I have worked with professionals, I have traveled with professionals, I have given advice to professionals.  At that level of tennis the players are unbelievably talented, I can say without question that it is as close to impossible as you can get.  The odds would be like winning the Super lottery on back to back draws.  That is considering you started with a world class athlete to begin with, and had a team of the best coaches in the world working with him or her 8 hours a day every day.  It would be the same as asking if someone could win a major PGA grandslam event after playing golf for only two years.  For all practical purposes it is impossible, and anyone that says otherwise does not understand the skill level at the professional level.  Anyone that has worked with professionals, i am sure will tell you exactly the same thing.
