I watch so many tennis videos on TH-cam, but now I’ve discovered yours I’m just sticking with you - seriously. Very good! Loved your serve videos - they’ve proved very helpful.
Great coaching. I am a 67 year old lady coach in India. I have won 3 ITF trophies. I will use your tips effectively with my young students.By the way, my colony doesn't have a tennis court so I rig up two nets and manage pretty well And do you know how I strengthened my wrist and hand all througj the years? By washing and wringing my family's clothes.Now I wash only my clothes! Also sweeping, mopping my home for the last 12 years has helped strengthen my arms snd wrist.
Great content as always, Meike. I have a question. The position to be a little further back from the net applies more to the singles game, doesn’t it? Or do you recommend the same for doubles? I am hitting with a couples of ladies here but they only play doubles’ matches. I am trying to improve their net game. Danke schön!
Thank you for the tips. I am a beginner, very useful for me. I see your racket face will face upward at the end of your volleys (also your right hand wrist faces up a lot on your forehand after your hitting volleys ). So do you do that on purpose, or you just stop the movement at contact point and the racket just naturally moves face up for the comfort of your wrists? I find ending up with racket face upward very not natural for me ( I use both hands to hold the racket for volley as I have weak wrists) Is it a must that I need to work on?
Worst volley tip of all time is stop at contact. Good volleys are struck right in the middle of the swing with half the swing the backswing and the next half the finish. This way the raquet wins the collision with the ball. They key to this is maintaining a volley structure and swing path that has the raquet tip trailing the handle with the wrist back and approximately 45 degrees up. Maintaining this structure thru contact will produce solid crisp feeling volleys.

That is amazing! And yes, I can believe that that gives you great strength in arms and wrist!
Really good discussion! Thanks.
well done
Thank you
Like the catch drill, nice KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stu ..) as they say less is more. Interesting court surface, what is it?
Excellent tips!
Great lesson!
Almost every tip can be separate video lesson!
Wouldn’t that get too long for each tip? I could definitely go into way more depth for each point but I feel that would go too long then
Great volley tips in one pill 💪🎾
Good stuff. Most players don't put in enough volley work. Ive always loved the shot, so it wasn't work for me.

5:45 Federer? Oh his backhand? Looks like he cuts pretty hard down on it.

How long do your shoes last on that surface??
Great tips! Und der Platz sieht irgendwie nach D aus…:))
Danke! Und leider nein, ist in Spanien. Ich wusste nicht, dass es solche Plaetze ueberhaupt in D gibt
I could sit and watch Patrick Rafter matches until I died of old age. 😆
So boring
