Tennis fans around the world are rejoicing as the grand slam season has kicked off. Things are most definitely exciting on both sides of the tour, leading many to speculate as to who will dominate the sport this year. Let’s take a look at the men of the sport.

Things will certainly be interesting in men’s tennis this year. It’s one of the first years in recent memory where fans legitimately believe that more than just two players have a chance at finishing on top.

It wasn’t too long ago that nearly every grand slam tournament was being dominated by Justine Henin. She was clearly the world’s best, and only a few players stood a chance at beating her every time she took the court.

Having sat atop the world rankings for a couple of years, Henin surprised many tennis fans when she retired at the very young age of just 25 years old in 2008. Many wondered why she would call it quits when she was at the top of her game.

Warning Signs of a Golf Injury

After having performed many of sports physicals over the years, I have seen an ever increasing trend in poor posture. Often, the posture is compromised before a sport is undertaken, and frequently the posture is affected by repetitive motions of a certain sport.

You can easily perform an assessment of your own posture by having someone observe you from your back (six feet directly behind you). Does one shoulder look higher than the other? Does one hip look higher? Check to see if your feet are equal, is one flaring out more than the other? The knees should be in alignment as well, facing the same direction. Your head should be equally balanced, not tilting to one side. If some differences are noticed, you may have a biomechanical problem that is affecting your sports performance.
