Happy playing,

Love the videos with actual students. Two problems with her backhand are:
1) The coach identified the first problem at 5:52. The player is stepping her front foot with toe first. Instead she could "heel to toe" the front foot at a 45 degree angle to the baseline.
2) She has a backhand style where the power source comes from the back hip (left hip). It is almost like the racquet is attached to her back hip during the entire swing. That is why her contact point is a little behind her front leg. For this style of players, they like to hit open stance backhand better than neutral/closed stance backhand. For closed stance backhand, if she allows the back hip to rotate along with the racquet, then she will be open at contact. Therefore prevents her hip from over rotating by squaring her body and legs to the side fence. A proper technique correction would be to transfer the power from the left hip to the left hand at some point during the swing. That is, during the forward swing, the left hip should stop rotating and the left hand should take over. But for advanced players, this correction is big change.
I'm not a fan of Azarenka's game, but her backhand technique is something that I use as a reference to demonstrate or make corrections to my players.
7.35 " ближе" очень порадовало!
С удовольствием смотрю ваши видео. Много полезных нюансов. Спасибо!
This helps me tremendously. Thank you coach!
She did well! In just one lesson. Well done to make those adjustments.
Great coaching.
Thanks for sharing the video. It's very informative. However, I don't think the student was getting it. Her timing on the neutral stance backhand isn't right (i.e. late) as she gets set late in planting her right foot hence not much of natural weight transfer forward happening. Ends up muscling the ball. I'd suggest try getting her to shadow on a stepper where she has to put her right foot on the stepper and feels how to drive her hip into the contact. In my experience, it takes just a few minutes for a student to pick up the right sensation and movement. Once she can visualize it, she'll have no problem repeating it
Thank You! Very good coach.
Siniakova used to fall into her shots. Check any of her old doubles videos. Maybe trying to disguise where she was going to hit the ball?
Great coaching. "Put your weight to your left leg" might be easy to understanf than "find the left leg".
It seems to me that The student put her weight in the middle of two legs. That is the root cause of lack of enough body forward moving. left leg can generate more push power if you put more weight on it.
Where is this coaching done? It's really good

thank you
Started on "wrong foot" by saying FIND which probably is not the best terminology
guess i fall in love
She is hard to coach. No matter how many times you tell her to set your left foot down and then step into the shot with your right leg, she still doesn't get the whole idea. Her movement forward are like baby steps. She is not getting much weight transfer. These kinds of students keep the coaching industry going.
Maybe it's the coach...
Coach is great. Nothing wrong with the coach.
