Open Question: Can an opponent threaten us before she hits the ball?
So my partner had the serve (I was at the net) and right after she served it, the ball bounced in and my opponent headed towards it to return. But right before she was about to hit it, she shouted out, "If you want to play the game this way, then---" And the slam it back to me. I was at the net and surprisingly distracted at her words, so we lost the point. Is this considered a hindrance? Or was it just my fault? They were also talking during the other points, some had no relation to tennis whatsoever. Thanks!

Open Question: How can I pay for Stanford?
Hi there! I have a question concerning how I might be able to afford the college of my dreams -- Stanford. As it stands, I am a junior in a relatively high-achieving public high school in the southern United States who is from a fairly well-to-do family who, because of the economy another sibling who will be going to college one year before me, will not be able to cover the costs of the school without some form of financial aid and/or scholarships. Here is a little about myself (forgive the self-salesmanship -- I'm practicing for college!): -I am interested in going into the medical field, particularly in the area of neurology. -Currently, my GPA is a 4.0 with three AP classes and two pre-AP classes). -My highest score is 2210 on the SAT (760 Reading, 700 Math, 750 Writing + 10 on the essay). -I am currently doing biomedical research at a research middle alongside graduates and post-docs. -I am also currently taking part in a hospital education group at a nearby hospital that shows the inner workings of the facility and teaches procedure. -I volunteer with community organizations such as Meals on Wheels and another one that helps women receive out of the prostitution business. -I am in National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, Green Club, marching band, tennis, academic decathlon, and Mensa. While I am truly hoping that the over makes me entry-level Stanford material, I have rather big doubts that the over would qualify me for anything close to a full ride. Strictly speaking, the unmitigated cost of four years at Stanford undergraduate school is around $210,000 at about $52,000 a year. Moreover, this price goes up a few thousand dollars every year. As I said earlier, without something to pay, at least partially, for college, I will not be able to attend Stanford. Furthermore, I don't think that my family qualifies for financial aid because we are approximately in the top two or three percent in terms of salary in America. While that may seem like a lot (and for normal purposes, it is), it does not arrive close to what we would need to pay for my college education, let alone that of my brother's who is going at the same time I am. This is compounded by the bad economy, which has significantly reduced the amount of money we are making annually. So I am feeling a little up a creek here, my dear reader. My dream college seems to sit just a few months away from me, but I fear that, even if I did receive accepted there, I would not be able to afford it. If you have any experience or advice in this area or have been through a similar dilemma yourself, please do take a few minutes to share it with me. I would be so very grateful for anything helpful you have to say! Thanks for reading!

Open Question: Do Nintendo's Wii games require skill to play or the animations are just a programmer's gimmick at Random?
Nintendo's Wii games are now a days very popular, because the players receive excited while playing. The wireless remote is so sensitive that any little movement is recognised by the Wii console and you receive immediate various animations on the T.V.Screen. But, according to my experience, the animations are just programmed at random and no talent is required to play the games, to score more or play better than others. For ex: In Base ball game, one can receive Home Run, without any effort.. , since the remote's movement will result in hapahazard/random selection of......Single, Double, Fault, Home Run, etc, on the screen. Another ex: In Tennis, if one hits very difficult also, some times, it will be ....Out Or it will be Ace Or it will be a good point. If some one can prove me wrong, then please let me know, how to acquire talent to receive very good scores in each game, to beat every other opponent always. Thanks. V.R.Rao.

Open Question: How do I find a sponsor (funding) for a tennis player who has the potential to become no.1 in the world?
Help please. I have a US player who has the potential to play top level tennis on the WTA tour but lacks the visibility and awareness due to not having the funding to play the big tournaments or travel. She does not have the big rankings, family can't afford to travel. If given the right opportunity, this player would be a top level player within 24 months. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated on what steps we might take to give this player an opportunity to show the world her talent.

Moya, one of the sport's class acts, is attempting a comeback at Indian Wells, in the same tournament where he became No. 1 in the world in 1999.

Resolved Question: I can't stand people who play golf or tennis more than once a year. I have a neighbor who golfs weekly and?
he's the most obnoxious snob I've ever seen. He's a tall, bulky Scandinavian type and like most tall people a bully. I've never seen a golfer or tennis player who even new what humor was, let alone had a sense of humor. You really have to be dense to consider chasing a ball around a tiny court or on a golf cart a sport. And listening to women golfers talk is a good time for earplugs or an Ipod so you don't hear them. Bike riding is more of a sport than golf or tennis because at least it challenges your endurance. Opinions on obnoxious golf and tennis cyborgs? Hitting golf balls on a driving range is the furtht I ever want to go with golf. You have to be crazy to play it due to the insane cost of a round of golf alone. At least tennis is free, but tennis players are much too fanatical to not treat them like lemmings. Correction: Hitting golf balls on a driving range is the furthest I ever want to go with golf.

This is the guy, at world no. 155, who has fluffed eight (count 'em) consecutive wild-cards for Wimbledon in the first round. Yet UK tennis fans state that 'We need him'. Is it also not true to say that, in the last 15 years, the greatest male player the LTA have produced is Mr. Bogdanovic - after every, Rusedski, Henman and Murray had nothing to do with the LTA in their tennis development? How dire can it receive? "MJ Bogofdnic"... quite catchy

I've had them for a week or two, mainly in my left leg. I got new supportive tennis shoes, I haven't been sprinting, and I've been icing after practice and sometimes before.

However sometimes, they hurt just from walking and my legs start to ache and throb so bad, I have to sit down. I would like to fix these as quick as possible so I can start playing lacrosse again.
