I saw Liam training earlier this year at the Citi open at the academy I train at in Jtcc in college park Maryland where tiafoe trains also and I saw his endurance workout which he was running for a good 40-50 minutes straight. This pro tennis players are real athletes incredible to watch.
Still remember the first time I met Liam at Bolton around 5 years ago and hearing him talk about the level he wanted to reach and who he wanted to play against. I was only 9 and seeing him like this now is such a good feeling.
This is such a great video! Just subscribed to your channel because of this. I really like the deep interaction with a pro and their trainings! Hope you'll get more insider things to share with all of us.
Excellent content. Who remembers londontennistube (Simon) covering Liam's progress, match on match, up the rankings ....before the LTA had the coverage removed ......
@@TheTennisMentor great content on liam's off-season but also on his close to top 100 acknowledgement. I gave Simon the idea and impetus to start that journey, covering many lesser lights Arthur Ferry, ages 13, jack draper, aged, 14, Emma raducanu, Matteo berrtinni. I encouraged him to start the journey of filming grass roots but it was his passion that captured all of these and more...not to mention, Hannah Klugman, aged 11 winning women's British tour, and, hopefully, main draw next year at Wimbledon....anyway, looking forward to hearing about your announcement with David. Great content, today!
Liam's forehand is quite efficient. A relatively flat stroke relying on good timing with a full swing. What is your opinion on developing a stroke like that, and how does it compare to a more whippy topspin clay-court forehand? I found that defense against other flat heavy hitters is quite difficult if your natural stroke looks a bit like Liam's.
We generally develop our strokes around the environments that we spend most time in. Players in colder countries that play mainly indoors tend to develop flatter swings (as you reap the rewards on quicker courts) whereas players that grow up playing on slow clay courts tend to develop more shape and spin (naturally more effective on clay). As you say, these ‘flatter’ strokes do require great positioning and timing, Liam is one of the quickest movers on the tour so he copes well! I think the real key is knowing your gamestyle and creating your identity. Your strokes will develop their own shapes around your intentions.
Liam used to have a much longer, whippier stroke as I recall. It was very stylish but this one feels more professional, like a KO punch. Boom. Game over.
I can see Broady being a late bloomer and picking up some trophies over the next few years - that win against Tsitsipas was heroic! edit: Was that Emma on next?!
I loved this video. Liam's story is fascinating from lingering between 250 to 150 to making the leap to top 100 with an improved forehand and serve. Liam deserves a lot of credit because his persistence and grit has paid off big time. If he can continue to improve, there's no reason why he cant be top 50 and get a few ATP titles along the way. Wouldlove to see more pro training videos like this even if they're futures players because you can learn so much from watching them.
That forehand looks so effortless, great swing. With the backhand, not sure. He has this sort of shoveling backhand that a lot of US players have. Feels like a weakness compared to the closed racket face. I'd like to see some numbers on how his backhand performs compared to other players with similar rankings.
Hey, no we stopped working together back in August. We had a good year but it was becoming increasingly difficult to get enough court time together. He’s now training closer to home (I’m about 90mins to 2hrs away from him)
Great to see what these guys do.. Thanks. But volley... the shot that wins points only has a small part to play in the drills. Why not more emphasis? Good volley players can read and get into position to dominate more often. Why so little time spent on this important shot? Is 'Dan the man' up next?
Cool. Thanks. Someday I’ll show the world the secret training methods that nick bollettieri used for me and Agassi , courier, etc. I’ve never seen anyone use them publicly yet. His method was beyond phenomenal and that’s why his players achieved so much against all odds. I even called my channel here by his method: precision point tennis 🎾🥇
@@Rorshacked it’ll blow your mind. It’s simply the reason Agassi and courier came out of nowhere in the late 80s. I’m amazed it’s been kept secret for so many decades
@@TheTennisMentor thanks. I’ve met so many ITF players and have told them they’re wasting their practices by what they do. They have no clue about precision point tennis. I just spent a week hanging with Apostolos Tsitsipas…
I think i didn’t get it right. So 30 sec I hit short forehand cross + 30 sec of rest. 5 or 7 sets like this? And than 90 sec of rest.. and than what? Sorry 😞
I’ll never get over how the pros’ shots look! Simple, compact, but insanely powerful and accurate.
It’s the racquet head speed
And the MIND. Confidence that comes from repetition and just learning to trust and “let go”

Thanks for sharing, a great story! 🙏
I saw liam vs andrey today. Great game. Amazing display of tatics by Liam and his team!!!
He’s had a great start to the year!
Really insightful video! Liked the exercises, will try a few of them out. The X one seemed really useful to train different type of shots.
Brilliant video! Cool insight into the pros off season training
Thanks Dylan
Great video, thanks for sharing, insightful and inspiring 🎾😀👍

Thanks Victor, yes I plan to do more BTS with the pros. Check out some of my other videos, I’ve done Federer’s warm up and Novak’s morning routine!
Emma Radecanu is the player watimg for the next training session. Great video. Many thanks. Will be useful in structuring my training. 👏 👏
Glad you found it useful, thanks for watching!
love the editing! dang I should look at some mizunos for my next pair of shoes...
love this! Super cool 🙏 thanks Coach Ashley
Glad you liked it!!
Great session coach.
Bloody great video! Bookmarked.
Thanks mate!
Brilliant content. Thanks for sharing. 🙌🙌
My pleasure… so great to watch pros and their coaches in action!
Hello can we see more pattern of drills from u tennis mentor like those 7 drills?
Top guy and has been working with Ryan Kent from the states, with his up and coming division 1 and pro players. Top guy, Liam
Excellent content. Who remembers londontennistube (Simon) covering Liam's progress, match on match, up the rankings ....before the LTA had the coverage removed ......
I remember those videos, I could spend hours watching them!!!

Thanks buddy 🙏
Can you Make a video on how to help your mental tennis, and ways to overcome it.
If you already have I apologise
I’ve made a few short videos on this topic… I will add them to a playlist when I get some time!
Thanks!
I can see Broady being a late bloomer and picking up some trophies over the next few years - that win against Tsitsipas was heroic!
edit: Was that Emma on next?!
Yes and yes!
And against ruud
@@leovogts1999 Beating Ruud on Grass does not mean much, Ruuds playstyle just has no effect on grass.
Looked like Jodie Burrage on the next court that we saw most of the time.
I loved this video. Liam's story is fascinating from lingering between 250 to 150 to making the leap to top 100 with an improved forehand and serve.

Thanks for your comments, totally agree with you… it’s extremely fine margins between top 100 and top 50. 2024 is a big year for him!

Hi Ashley- are you still working with Felix? Wondered if Liam might hit with Felix- help in his development?
Hey, no we stopped working together back in August. We had a good year but it was becoming increasingly difficult to get enough court time together. He’s now training closer to home (I’m about 90mins to 2hrs away from him)
Looks like NTC. Those courts are amazing as the floor is slightly sprung so much kinder to your feet.
It is, lovely courts!
Great to see what these guys do.. Thanks. But volley... the shot that wins points only has a small part to play in the drills. Why not more emphasis? Good volley players can read and get into position to dominate more often. Why so little time spent on this important shot?
Is 'Dan the man' up next?
Super content !
Thanks Federico!
Was the next player Emma Radicanu? :) By the way cracking video! Great insight!
Yes. Thank you!
"Stop scrolling ! Go out and play..." Guess who wrote this ? 😊...Great content and drills !
😉

i'll sub as soon as its up. that sounds great
@@Rorshacked it’ll blow your mind. It’s simply the reason Agassi and courier came out of nowhere in the late 80s. I’m amazed it’s been kept secret for so many decades
I’m really intrigued to see, I look forward to it!!
@@TheTennisMentor thanks. I’ve met so many ITF players and have told them they’re wasting their practices by what they do. They have no clue about precision point tennis. I just spent a week hanging with Apostolos Tsitsipas…
Jodie Burrage on the other court?
Great spot!
Sorry are u still coach of Felix?
Dan Evans
It’s not… you’re actually referring to the player’s coach (I’m sure he’d be happy!!) The player is actually walking onto court while they’re hitting
Good luck in 2024!
That One handed backhand looks like Evans
🤔
Just realised you’re watching the person hitting with Liam (that’s the next player’s coach)
Need to improve my English 🤦
I think i didn’t get it right. So 30 sec I hit short forehand cross + 30 sec of rest. 5 or 7 sets like this? And than 90 sec of rest.. and than what? Sorry 😞
7 drills, 7x each (here they did 5x)
30 seconds work - 30 seconds rest
90 second break after each drill
@@TheTennisMentor thank you!
Is that Jodie Burrage on the court beneath? 🤔
👍
Yeah but what’s he like at a 1-point breaker?!
😂
That's Emma Raducanu getting ready for her session.
Got it!
@@TheTennisMentor 🙂 classic stroll. Hoping for her to have a great year!
Next player is Dan Evans 🫣
It’s not… her coach (shown) has a single hander like Dan.
Was it Dan Evans???? Haha
No, but you’re not the first to say that! Check the other comments 😉
damn
Emma?
👍
Emma?
👍👍
