re: 2023 non-grand slam tennis thread.

I could swear the sticker on old Prince Graphite 110s said to string between 70 and 80. I think Borg was even doing something insane like stringing his small Donnay wood racquets at 80. I seem to recall Sampras and Lendl were up there, too. Gut was tough to control, so that's probably why they were doing that. I'm guessing poly is part of the reason tensions are dropping, (a) to save your arm and (b) because it lets you take bigger cuts at the ball.
