I would think he would look into changing his grip size.. he probably has hands the size of a catcher's mitt ..like Jordan or Dr. J s hand sizes

BTW.. I dont want you folks to think ole AP is strange or going loco about grip sizes.. I have experience this prior and here's what AI says

• A tight grip can lead to muscle tension in the forearm and hand.
• Excessive grip pressure may restrict blood flow to the muscles.
• Poor grip technique can result in overuse injuries, contributing to cramping.
• Inadequate hydration and electrolyte balance can exacerbate cramping issues.
• Regular stretching and strengthening of grip muscles can help prevent cramps.
• Monitoring grip pressure during play can help maintain comfort and reduce cramping risk.

Look anyone with a exteme grips is going to have trouble down the track
I could name a lot of players that need to change their grips
Point is Perricard was holding his own before his hand started to cramp and he could not let go of the racket and had to have the physio out then Novak won the 3rd set 61............
Novak was playing against a comprised player full stop, lets not forget that factor!
Fils was also watching his best friend's match Perricard in the stands

I saw the first set of Fonseca's match and, despite some good highlights reel points, a very poor set of tennis (for his ranking and his hype). This whole year I am kind of expecting him to have a big slump, drop out of the top 100 maybe, and then come back. Maybe it is those small injuries, maybe it is part of the plan. I still think he will eventually do great things, but I guess he will need to overcome an early slump.

On the other hand, I saw Prizmic first set as well. Firing on all cylinders. I expect him to roll over Fonseca in three. If Fonseca can raise his level to the occasion, I will be impressed and pleasantly surprised.

Mrzz
I also saw highlights of Prizmic match agree he was firing on all cylinders
Should be an interesting match up against Fonseca, the winner plays Novak in the 3rd rd.

Sonego Forza he must have heard my call to 'Lift' he has a break in the 5th set 5-2!

Watched same today. Fonseca is not playing on the level that he can actually produce, subpar for his standards. Prizmic is currently running hot and I expect a good battle between them with hopes that Prizmic goes through. Huge motivation for both to meet Novak in 3rd round.

Hey folks check out the following video and I cant believe Perricard team has not corrected this major flaw in his game.. He hits way to often in with an open stance which he is putting too much spin under the ball.. Look at his results when he hits the ball close stance and the distance the ball travels through the court... I did not see the match but the so called genius analysts should have been tracking this..

Your point being? seeing you did not watch his match against Novak, I did Perricard was Comprised with his wrist injury! I get your not a fan of Perricard, quite frankly either am I. I was just stating the facts what happened in the match, Perricard has a new coach, Greg Rudedski, since April this year, I am certain he knows the flaws in his game, btw Roig was one of his coaches, after a brief trial, left to coach Swaitek?
