Blake's a great player - but how come his bottom sticks out and he walks like he's an old man...?
I mean no disrespect...! But I've noticed this so many times on TV and I just can't understand it - but none of the commentators (who rabbit on about all sorts of other rubbish) ever even mentions it...

Name any 5 major sport events of 2006.?
I have noticed this also, and it is only his posture that has developed this way. He had a slight paralysis on his left side and has broken his neck by running into the net post head first but I do not think this contributes to the unusual posture...Ouch, that man's got a backache. Did you see Andre Agassiz in his last matches. Ow!
Table Tennis Coaches and artciles?
its probably because of the injury he suffered a few years ago or its because he had scoliosis 23 hrs a day if not playing sports(which is a curvature of the spine)I have it too and i need to wear a back brace ...watever it is it isnt a big dealWhy is professional tennis segregated by sex?
i know what up with his duck walk .Why is Federer referred to as FEDEX or the Federer Express ?
I'm quite suprised you don't know why his bottom is that way. Apparently as a teenager, he had scoliosis and had to wear a full back brace for 18hrs a day. When he became much better, his posture changed to the way it is now.Do you think Federer can win the Roland Garros and take it from Rafael Nadal?
as a teen he spent 18 hours a day in a body brace to correct scoliosis for 5 years. and in 2004 he broke his neck by running into a net post. thats all i can think of...Where can you watch tennis game?
i know what you mean...but he has had alot of back problems. he broke his neck and spine about 2 years ago and he had scoliosis when he was young. hes amazing tennis player tho. lolHow do you enter a tennis futures tournament?
he had scolioces as a kid. he has some small back problems. and you now what. were lucky to still have blake on the tour. he came back from that huge head injury i think 2004 or 2005 i forget.Why does Rafa like to bite his trophies?
Yeah! He's a great player indeed and by losing today's Masters Cup final to Roger Federer, he has raised his ATP ranking from No. 8 to No. 4. I congratulate James for reaching these finals for 2006 was really a fantastic year in his tennis career.As for his posture in walking, I think that was brought about by an accident he encountered whilst practising tennis in Rome. He hit against a net post very hard that he experienced scoliosis ( a curvature of the back) such that he had to stay in hospital for some time. Then he suffered a facial paralysis through stress after the death of his father and again he stayed long in hospital.
It is because of what he went through that commentators find it inhuman to ever mention the way he walks because as tennis followers, they know how this was brought about.
I do hope this furnishes your curiosity, that, by the way, was a good question.
Why isn't Martina Hingis playing women's doubles ?
I think it is probably because of the horrific injury he had a few years ago which nearly ended his career! I think he crashed into the pole at the side of the net chasing a ball. Ouch!Who will win the Australian Open?
At the age of 13 he was diagnosed with severe scoliosis and had to wear a full length back brace for 18 hours a day, although not when playing tennis.Click the links below.
