His backhand is as natural as breathing. Everything is working together. He steps forward into the ball. His trunk and shoulders rotate backwards, and then snap forwards, with his arms and hands lagging behind, flinging the racquet face through the ball. Totally relaxed. Right in the sweet spot. One of the best, if the not the very best, backhands of all time.
@@juanestebankruhsanmguel1960 Did we ask about dropshots? I mean i won't go on a Federer practice video to say that Novak has a better backhand and return.
You can just never count on Djokovic to make a mistake, no matter how good a shot you make. Great form on the forehand and backhand, and he actually has follow through unlike some modern players.
That forehand at :07 is ridiculous. I've never seen a player who can retain the full integrity of his strokes without retreating the way Novak can. Other players will abbreviate or adjust their swing in some way to adjust to exceptionally difficult bounces, but Novak seems to be able to just maintain his position and accelerate right through using his go-to, wheel house swing.
@CyberVeg Damn did I touch a nerve or something?😂 Keep your head out of Novak's ass you delusional twat. His smash is regarded as the most fragile part of his game whether you like it or not.
feds and joker warmup different, joker hits as much top spin as possible and starts out hitting them short and increases power, feds starts off with less spin hitting them deep and increases top spin as he progresses through warmy
His forehand may not be as good as federer or nadal but it has the most consistent and has better pace. It is almost perfect when traveling on the net on how high it is
At around 8 minutes they start doing drills with movement. It seems Cilic can't figure out the pattern and hits winners were he's not supposed to go. I saw this with Djokovic live once. He's got such complicated movement drills (he moves wide, then 3 crosscourt, then one down the line, then three crosscourt, ...) that even other pros have trouble doing it.
Thanks for the reply. Oh fantastic. Well Done. I have an iPhone 11 Pro soooo impressed with video and audio quality. What software/app did you use to edit?
I've been using Lumafusion for a while. Great app, and well worth the price tag. Although if you're just doing relatively simple editing, I'm sure the stock photos app or iMovie would suffice. For anything really serious though, I have Final Cut Pro for my computer. If you want the absolute best quality for video shooting, consider Filmic Pro (although I often just use the stock camera app for these tennis videos as its fast and easy).
can't help but notice, Novak twists his torso all the time, that's why the BH is as strong as the FH... While Cilic is merely muscling most of his FH, and his BH is weak, precisely because the Torso isn't used much, power is just generated mostly by his arms
Watching Djokovic play it’s as if he swallowed the text book. Everything is perfectly neat and clean and consistent. Nothing is exceptional or exciting. Don’t get me wrong, he’s levels above the rest of the tour bar Rafa, Fed and possibly now Alcaraz if he can achieve the same consistency. But watching this is just boring compared with watching a Rafa court level practice for example, imo.
I left this open trying to load the video on my phone for over 15 minutes. Any other video works. I’ve exited my app reloaded many times wtf is wrong with this vid.

The consistency is just insane. The swing looks efortless. Perfect.
When I play tennis, it looks I'm cutting someone's throat with a blind knife.
I cut throats before but never played tennis, so can't tell .
HAHAHA
You will become better if you train im sure you will
Eww, I didn't want to imagine that...
Wtf is a blind knife
Djokovic’s cross court backhand is one of the most beautiful things in all of tennis
I don't know. I like all of his shots for some reason. The guy just doesn't miss
Novak hits his backhand so clean. The timing is beautiful to watch.
just the sound out of Novak's racket is pure

please dont make me laugh,compared to federer,djokovic shots look ugly af
Novak’s forehand, backhand... hell, everything is so smooth
his slice doesnt compare to federer,his dropshot lack the magic of federer shots
@@juanestebankruhsanmguel1960 Did we ask about dropshots? I mean i won't go on a Federer practice video to say that Novak has a better backhand and return.
@@juanestebankruhsanmguel1960 go away fedtard djokovic backhand is better cuz he has more consistency than federer go check the stats
I'm obsessed with his two handed backhand. Bringing much respect to that shot. It basically won him wimbledon 2019!
That backhand is cleaner than my hands after washing them for atleast 20 seconds
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
do u sing happy birthday when washing hands?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Exact same thoughts. With industrial soap lol.
Djokovics follow through on both wings is a wonderful sight.
Can I just say that there is only one man in this planet that can achieve a two step baseline coverage at 5:05
That man is Novak Djokovic
Paradorn Srichaphan could do it aswell. He was one of the most athletic players ever and quite strong aswell
I reckon Dimitrov could do it, just not as clean or effective as Nole.
Djokovic said that his skiing when he was young helped him with sliding
Amazing he got there at all, let alone hit a shot back.
my ball striking has improved 2x after watching this video lol
They really need to broadcast the major tournaments in 4k60, that would be epic!
And at a court level angle to
omg. What's crazy is how much he has improved in 4 years !
Indian Wells 2020 isn't that far away - let me know what players you would like to see video of
Basilashvili, Edmund, Shapovalov
Thiem
Zverev,mmoh,Djokovic,
Tsitsipas. Thanks
Djokovic
You can just never count on Djokovic to make a mistake, no matter how good a shot you make. Great form on the forehand and backhand, and he actually has follow through unlike some modern players.
Thanks for curing my depression.
Djoko shots are just mesmerizing..
Can’t stop watching this beauty
Jesus Christ, that backhand. Could watch this swing for hours.
watching Novak is like he can probably rally for 1000 + years without landing a ball out or net even once, what superb control !
That forehand at :07 is ridiculous. I've never seen a player who can retain the full integrity of his strokes without retreating the way Novak can. Other players will abbreviate or adjust their swing in some way to adjust to exceptionally difficult bounces, but Novak seems to be able to just maintain his position and accelerate right through using his go-to, wheel house swing.
@adsfafad Probably 60+ in the end.
Compare the amount of unforced errors of Cilic to Djokovic, Djokovic really is a machine.
Novak never misses the sweet spot
His strokes are so satisfying. Yum!
Damn...even practice he doesn't makes mistake.
I really like how the two guys on the right are following the ball
'Seems so easy when you see djokovic hitting the ball
He has the best groundstrokes in the world
4:10 That smashing🤣
It's crazy how someone can be so consistent and brilliant from the baseline and have such bad overheads😱
@CyberVeg Don't be so ignorant. Everyone knows Djokovic has some of the worst smashes in the top 100. It has almost become a meme here on yt.
@CyberVeg Damn did I touch a nerve or something?😂 Keep your head out of Novak's ass you delusional twat. His smash is regarded as the most fragile part of his game whether you like it or not.
@@ThomasWong54 Nah, he is just an insecure Djoktard who can't admit his hero's got a flaw in his game🙂
Insecure about flaws in my game? Nah😂
Greatest of all time.
#IdemoNole 👑🎾🏆🇷🇸
wtf i first thought this is a video game and how insane the graphis have gone
Ohhh his backhand is soo smooth
Djokovic doesn’t miss
Djokovic forehand is ASMR
I like the running backhand drills 4:20
feds and joker warmup different, joker hits as much top spin as possible and starts out hitting them short and increases power, feds starts off with less spin hitting them deep and increases top spin as he progresses through warmy
man! that practice session was run with *German* precision!
Cormorant_on_aRock u mean japanese
incredible
Cilic's forehand is not consistent, amazing how he won GS). But I like his powerful style.
he was hitting lights-out tennis in that US Open. Roger didn't win a set in the SF. Kei had no chance.
seems pretty consistent to me, few errors at the start but he eased into it
His forehand may not be as good as federer or nadal but it has the most consistent and has better pace. It is almost perfect when traveling on the net on how high it is
no wonder he can play 5 hours straight without getting really tired, his shot is so effortless he use his motion to release the power
i like how the only overhead volley shown is one where djokovic misses it lmao
安定感すごいな

When they mis-hit that 1 time...thats like me putting my life into the shot when im playing
4:12 Djokosmash!!!
Lateral movement is so tough in the pros. Djoker can get to the balls better than anybody
Hi Very nice quality video, if I may ask, what device is being used to film this video? sound is also great. Love it.
This was recorded last year and just shot and edited on an old iPhone X
Thanks for the reply. Oh fantastic. Well Done. I have an iPhone 11 Pro soooo impressed with video and audio quality. What software/app did you use to edit?

Hm! if i pretend like i'm throwing my racket as far as I can , is this a good way to think about it ?
Nice and sharp, FH/BH.
por dios que reves
Good quality. where is this place?
냉장고재료털이 Indian Wells California ,USA
Great video as always! Can we use it on our channel and credit you? We left Indian Wells already and missed Djoko :(
So slow serves, we see them from the regular angle so fast, why?
Where is this located?
Indian Wells, California
4:17
Which camera you use to making the video?
This video was shot last year just using an iPhone X
Great
Where are they?
Video was taken at the practice courts at the BNP Paribas Open Masters tournament in Indian Wells, CA
4:10 lol
western grip?
Semi-western
Use 0.5x speed to watch the video
I think I can hear Rafa in the background

If you’re gonna beat Djokovic it’s backhand parallel
あれ？ジョコビッチってフォアの時に左手使わないダッサいスイングじゃなかったっけ？今見ると普通に使ってるな。
Like if you have met Novak in person
fuck it im switching to 2 handed BH
Nothing amazing or fancy. Novak is a product of insane repetition.

4.5 at best lol
部活の顧問にもっと足曲げろ！って言われるけどプロ全然曲げてないやんけ
棒立ちだからじゃね？
ボールをとらえる打点によってテイクバックも腰を落とす高さも変わってくるし、腰の位置で打てるならそこまで曲げる必要ないよ。
ただ、スライスとかフラットとかで滑ってくるボール以外に対しては常にボールの上から打てるくらいは曲げれるとベスト
i play cross rally better^^
