Dude as a new player who took some beginner classes and now in casual 3.0 tennis. These strategy analysis videos are just amazing. All I’ve been worried about thus far is “keeping it in play” and learning to serve but now thinking about actual strategy and tennis IQ takes the game to a different level!
I’ve gone both ! Hit an extreme angled Backhand then with his response hit down the line of cross court . Or ,, run around my backhand as bd hit cross court.
You are one of the best "describers" of tennis technique that i have ever heard. Your breakdown explanation of the problems on Ian Westermann's backhand and the recommended correction steps was one of the best coaching breakdowns and instructions I have ever seen on TH-cam. I actually saw Ian's jaw drop as you got into all the detail of how to correct the stroke. Great job. Now, a question from me. I often see pro players hit forehands and watch them launch themselves into the air as they swing forward into the stroke, sometimes only lifting slightly, sometimes launching quite a way up into the air. The thing is, I've never seen, heard, or read about this phenomenon as it relates to the coaching of hitting tennis forehands. I know they are not jumping on purpose (unless we're talking Shapovalov). Are rec-level players missing something that would improve technique and results on their strokes? What's the coaching prompt on this aspect for the forehand?
It's the explosive loading of the legs before the shots that makes the pros go airborne. A lot of coaches talk about this in their advanced ground strokes videos.
Hi Coach, Thanks for many tennis videos and analysis you have published on your channel. It is very helpful. I have a question for you. You have published so many videos on the same topic like #1 singles strategy like the one above or like top 5 or there is too 7. Is it possible for you to name them differently? When I look for your videos there are so many number ones.
Hi Ryan, still relatively new to tennis. picked it up about a year ago and one of my biggest struggles is return of serve. how do i practice return of serve alone? i have access to a ball machine but i haven't come up with a drill that mimics live serves.
As always great video and analysis with the fitting example!👌 Could you describe or make a video for the exact same situation as a leftie? Always a bit torn as a leftie when I run around my backhand between inside out (my stronger shot + all benefits of cross ball) but into opponents forehand or inside in (my weaker side + down the line) but into opponent's backhand. Generally tend to to start inside in and finish the job inside out.
Rublev's opponent should be given some credit for making this sequence possible. He's using a 1-handed backhand which makes it really tough to go down the line on the crosscourt drive, no way to play offense there. Not so much with a 2-hander, Novak goes down the line regularly. And if the opponent is left handed going down the line isn't that hard as Rafa proves again and again. World class players have all the shots, but to say you don't have to cover the down the line on the cross court means your opponent just isn't that good.
Because most of the people watching this video are not going to be playing against Novak or Nadal🤣, its not easy to hot that shot down the line and if they do then well played but most of the time it will go out
I've got a good name for this tactic. its called bait and switch. because you are leaving the deuce court open, to bait the opponent into hitting down the line, then you switch the direction of the rally by hitting a cross court. of course, this tactic will only work if you hit a fast enough inside out or backhand shot, if not, it will be easy for the opponent to hit the ball near the line and you will be putting yourself on the defensive
I prefer backhand. If I see someone run around to their forehand I push them as far to the backhand side as possible and then the court is to big and I put it away. But again, I prefer backhand.
me too. with more practice, our back hand can be as strong as forehand, so with back hand we can strike too. run around to forehand is a gambling and you can see lots of time it turn to a lose.
if you see closely during Rublev's take back, his racket strings never faces downwards...well there goes all the pat the dog stuff...more of this new gen players racket strings are facing at an angle to the ground (45 degrees) or just making a small nike swoosh (Rublev) which allows them with great depth and enough spin for net clearance. why all the coaches telling that to get spin you need to have your racket face down at some point in your take back.
if Rublew goes down the line, it must be a winner.. otherwise he will be in trouble.. ps. and .. situation is different if opponent's backhand is better than forehand...

Oh I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks for letting me know!!
I was where you are 20 yrs ago. These lessons are even more valuable when you can make the shots your thinking about to win that point.

¡Gracias!
holy cow!!! What an amazing gift! Thank you so much Gerardo!
Good lesson. Can you give us a video on how to play against lefties?
This is the number one thing we work on.

It's all about power

6:38 The video through qr code is necessary I am assuming for one to understand those pictures of the textbook?

Forehand is always better than the backhand, unless you dont practice forehand well enough

Yep!
can you do a strategy video for leftys
It’s the same strategy
Running around forehand failed miserably today for Ruud.
I desagree about "dont worry about down the line" thats how Kuerten beat Federer twice, thas how Djoko mid career beat lots of oponents
Ok thanks!
Right, so if you’re playing a top 100 player, pay attention to the line shot😉
Thanks Ryan
I’ll be teaching this today
Go chiefs 😂

FYB has not returned my calls or emails demanding a refund.
Hi Steven. I’m so sorry and I hate hearing this. I’ll message Will right now.
Hi Steven, sorry about the CS issues. I've processed your refund so you're good to go. Please let me know if you need anything else.
if Rublew goes down the line, it must be a winner.. otherwise he will be in trouble.. ps. and .. situation is different if opponent's backhand is better than forehand...
You talk too much. make it brief.
Talking too much is one of my many flaws. I 100% agree with you.
@@2MinuteTennis I am learning a lot from you. Thank you.
