This is exactly what I want to be watching. As a county player videos on fundamentals, footwork, grips are of no use to me. I need to be watching live coaching sessions with coaches making small changes to advanced tennis players. More like this please. 😎
A really instructive lesson. So many nuggets of wisdom for us rec players, and gratifying to see that a former tour player makes the same mistakes as us - lack of patience, lack of spin, poor movement. Hope for us all. But impressive to see Nick play well within himself and make only one error, remainder of points given to him from unforced errors. Watch and listen.
Fast swing, nice angles !! Her timing on the ball is great and she knows when she is late and how to fix it.
Practice and games will get her footwork & rhythm on higher level for sure. Bravo Ema !! 👏🏼Thanx Nik 🤝
It's great to be able to watch these sessions, to hear the talks enriches so much the learning process
Thanks Coach Nik! You always make great pointers/techniques/approach regarding this beautiful game of tennis! I truly appreciate you Sir! FYI my son is trying out one of your racquet recommendation’s the Babolat Aero and we tested out yesterday and so far he like it! Will continue watch your channel and implement it to he’s game 👍🎾
love how encouraging you are when you talk to your players
💯
Really enjoy these point play insights. Thank you.
Appreciated this breakdown and instruction during play. Found it very useful including control over power on the serve.
Great playing Ema! Love watching the great timing on your backhand - it's inspiring! 😊
I already loved the backhand video with shamir. I have a feeling this will be another great one
Super helpful, informative, and insightful !
A wonderful vid! I enjoy it!
Ema good luck! 👍
Excellent video, lot of advice here Nik that we can all use. Great job Ema
My favourite coach on youtube, thank you for the uploads nick.
🙏
Love that style of point play, thanks
That was very satisfying to watch. Learned a lot from your comments!
Great video Nick. Ema is amazing. 👋🏻
Excellent session guys....more more more....
great format really enjoyed that.
Great content, you are inspiring me a lot.
Great lesson Nik, even those of us that aren't at that level can learn some strategy, what to do and what things not to do.
Excellent video!
At this advanced level little subtle changes can make a huge difference. Great coaching!
Useful tips for audience after each point!
Great instructive comments!
Great video good insight
Thank you my friend
8:35 yes Nik, I got the same issues. I call it "admiring my serve". Against good returns the ball is coming back quickly and I don't got the footwork to retreat fast enough and setup for a the correct shot. Maybe you can show us some drills so we don't sit their "admiring" our serve too much.
Omg, my two most favorite coach meet.
Love the Serb/Croat commentary😆 super ste 👏
Bas ste lepo odigrali i Super video
You Sir have a wicked slice, the ball almost sliced into this poor lady! I used to take care of hard tru courts, and you need clay, and the lines need to be checked out to see if they need to nailed down or replaced. Those courts need water my dude, the court is very dry! Great job on the video my friend.
Nice hitting from both of you 😀
NICE!
A great video! Very well done, very well made.So informative, I could not help but learn from it. Cn I ask, does Ema push her forehand a bit, instead of swinging out and around. Seems like a semi Nadal buggy whip.
Lovely courts! I wanna play there!! Great FH on Emma!! A tad more left hand extension on the BH, the ball is a bit to close to the body on contact?
Nick...
Pretty sure you didn't see my comment a few weeks back,
but this is exactly what I suggested...
Seeing Ema play top players like yourself, Milan,
and maybe even Safin; to see how she would fair against that type of competition, or vice versa.
Keep this type of content coming 💪
? Nick was just laying the ball back to her, there was no competition.
@@TimTheMusicMan Yeah, he apologized when he hit a good shot and won the point!
Do you have any tips on how to get better elevation of the women’s serve ? Most pro players get crazy high off the ground I barely get two inches off ground
great location
This was a good video and besides Milan hitting ones, one of your best. Normal Sand(red clay) is the best surface though I have nil experience with this TRU stuff
3:30 that discussion about slice and mixing was super important! ive played a few women and i noticed everytime that theyre pretty good at keeping pace, using your power. but they cant create any of their own - as soon as you deveate from the usual power play... net play, stops, high top spin, slow balls, they get into trouble and it seemed to me, they dont even know why. its like they think: this is not tennis! :D oh, wait, im losing hahaha
This is me :( hahaha
Playing tennis 🎾❤️ in paradise 🌴🌴🌴😆
I think part of the reason WTA crouch the baseline is because they want to be agressive baseliners and don’t want to give up the baseline
Great video
I find myself in a similar situation as Ema after hitting a big serve and the opponent hits a return to my backhand and I get kind of stuck on my feet and end up playing an emergency shot instead of being in position to hit a quality shot.... I think it's mostly mental, just get in my head that I need to prepare and take a step back after the serve instead of waiting to see where the ball lands. I don't know, I'm still trying to figure it out.
Only been watching 30 seconds and I’ve already picked up 2 tips
I really got a kick out of this one. If you haven't already, would like to see you play her a match, like you do with the d2 former student. Is she still in the age range to be effective competing in the WTA,what was her highest rank and why did she stop?
please do more vids like this. very good play by play insight.
The comments here have me in tears. That said, Emma's serve, forehand, everything are all awesome..wish I can hit that well 😭
Right!? All these 3.0s in here giving coaching advice like they know something.
Hey, Nick, what do u think about yuor namesake Kyrgios serve?
woooowww love it. beautiful people beautiful, tennis and best on court coaching. Please more of this content :) predobro
🫶
they have the same forehand
You're so right about Ema's intensity. It is obvious, especially on the split step; it should be more vivid and a bit higher off the ground. Her backhand also would be more effective if she kept her elbows a bit further from the torso.
Awesome 🎾
Idemo 👏👏🇭🇷
Like Kerber...she did this "sitting shot" so often. Bent down and took the ball on the rise. I was always wondering why on earth because obviously it is a defensive stroke which does not allow to gain dominance. Late recognition may be an explanation after a serve as with Ema but it cannot explain why someone does it during the game 🤔
Good to see that she is smart on her shoots and not just trying to smash all the balls…
Take a shot every time he says ‘soooo good’ 😂
Well done. WTA player Jamie Loeb slices plenty and it causes havoc 🤣. Her pinpoint back foot needs to move little closer towards her front heel.
I’m always confused about whether the elbow should be slightly bent like the two players in the videos or should it be straight like Ferderer when hitting your forehand ??
The answer is, whatever works for your body. Swiatek has a really bent elbow. Djokovic has a bent elbow too, though not as much as Swiatek.
Really good! However, just because you don't see a style on ATP, does that mean it's (1) defective in some way and/or (2) doesn't work on WTA tour? Is the ATP supposed to be the gold-standard for the WTA? Or is it okay that there's variety in both because men and women play differently?
Yes he said that squatting to take a backhand is suboptimal, then guessed a reason is more common with (many not all) women is that they hit flatter. Hitting flat is also suboptimal. That half-volley squat backhand is definitely a woman's stroke.
@@formica. Thanks for responding.
👍
Nick, here you have the opopent you were searching for, why didnt you play a set with Ema?
Must not be any sandbaggers in Florida? Plenty of former D1 guys are 5.0
At the 10 min mark you were encouraging Emma to to take a few steps back and hit a regular backhand like atp players. It seemed like Agassi would never back up and take almost all balls on the rise. It that basically what Emma was doing?
What kind of surface is this court made of?
Har-Tru clay. The clay most American courts use because of the varying climates. Red clay is best but limited to certain areas because of maintenance.
Play hard as u can Nick . I wana see if she can win a game
I can’t wait to get out on the court! Thanks for all the tips, your’re awesome! Btw Emma just needs conditioning. The video makes it seems like she just sort of fell apart, not moving enough. I feel like if she were to have more endurance then she can move better and have more precise hits. Nonetheless she’s still a badass
ema whats her second name did she used to play pro ??
Hello, I’m not the very best at serving but able to hit it in with a continental grip, but have noticed I land on my right foot rather than my left foot (as a right hander) like everyone seems to do. What could be the reason for this?
Have a friend video your serve on a phone, you don't even need to be on a court to check your style. Ha - I just checked Ema's channel, she has this quick video about landing, maybe helps: th-cam.com/users/shortsc72SSHFPRhE
I love it when you tell people they suck and can't play college... truth hurts. lol.
I was never really that fit but played sports thoughout my childhood always hating the obligatory warmup and training runs. That said I was an avid juniors player and never thought tennis was a cardio intensive sport. I could pick up the racket anytime and play hard for few hours even after not playing for a year or two and not think anything of it probably into my late 30's. Now I'm in my mid 40's and I feel the pain after a long rally and have to think twice before turning on my afterburner for to chase that iffy ball bc I don't want to be gassed our for rest of the game, or set, or match. Age catches up with the best of us. I played hard during end of covid and technically I'm better than ever but my physical fitness is my ceiling to reaching upper 4.5 - 5.0 level.
Yup - 56 and although I can move around the court just as quick as the 20 year olds I definitely think twice about chasing down balls that look likely out.
Nick is going easy on her. She'd get smashed against anyone with power.
And you would get smashed against anyone 3.0 and above, but no one said anything about that.
Now play her 100%
Before I watch this video, I almost choked in disbelief when I read the title.
May we actually see Nik loose a match this time?
I'll find out right now
YES! EMA FOR THE WIN! 🎉
looking at the video, i feel like emma needs to work on her fist step after her serve, she feels rushed after her service.
Never heard of Bucko!
I have a feeling if the coach played 100 percent, the score will be two 6-0, lol.
Footwork...footwork...Ema needs to improve very much on this, quality shots will follow...
6-0, 6-0
What she like a 4.0 now?
Her issues are: She does not get off the baseline. When she hits a fh or bh cross court and has nick having to reach for, she should be charging the net. She needs a one hand put away volley at the net, the 2 hand will never work, no time, she needs to catch the ball at the net. Her first serve is accurate but too slow, yes accuracy is way better, but her first serves will allow the opponent to return inside the baseline and they will all return a deep crosscourt and the velocity will be too much for her to return, or she will then be way out of position if she does get to the ball and the point will be over soon after. She also cannot just pass the ball back to the opponent.
Why are you coaching a former WTA player who's a coach herself?
She asked?
I'm a 4.5 level player and I would put up $500 against your $500 that you could not beat me 0 and 0 😉
Awesome. Head down to West Palm Beach. Video the match for us. What is 0 and 0?
@@formica. double bagel; 6-0, 6-0
Just another boaster on the internet. Ok ok you are brilliant and the best. Bye.
That court is dog shit.
It looks like it needs more clay.
@@youngsuit those palm trees are dog shit :)
@@info781 It needs blowing up ha ha!
@@aktolman There is nothing better than playing on clay , it is much easier on the body, points are more interesting and it slows down the big serves. It is not fun when it hits the lines. I live in Florida and play on clay all the time.
@@info781 I grew up on clay, English shale to be precise... it is by far my favourite surface, and my style of play was built around it, full western, heavy spin, pegging it about etc. Unfortunately where I live now it's either hard, astro turf, or grass in that order for miles around. Grass and astro sucks. But the court in the video does not look like a good one; although maybe it just needs a good brush and water.
Actually I was told when I was younger that if I continued playing the way I did on glay my knees would give out when im older... I said nah no chance... turns out they were right ;)
Am i missing something here? is she new to tennis? her strokes and movement looks like a 12 year old xD.. dont say this is a pro player. Or who live on tennis thanks.
he talks too much, how can his students focus
I dont know why but your videos are weirdly over saturated, It's unwatchable. For some reason, its only your channel for the past while. Anyone else have this issue?
Are you sure this is a WTA or former WTA? I have seen WTA 300 and they are rockets… no mistakes for 30min, full power… your such a marketing guy.
Artur....you've never watched 30 minutes of "full power" tennis without any mistakes. You're such a marketing guy...
This is point play coaching video so mistakes are intentionally put up there. This ain’t no down the middle/cross court rallies or match play highlights…
You could just check the video description... This is where you say they are barely 3.0 at your local club, right?
once she won over Donna Vekic. Period
Lool you should be banned from tennis and commenting on tennis videos altogether. So disrespectful. And so dumb.
Guys, seriously... do you really like this vide...So old generation of tennis...and so old examples...and do not comment about me, because you don't really know the level of my tennis... much better than this s....
thgis a fromer wta player? no wonder nobody watches wta matches
Let me guess… you could take a set off her right? Lol
Everyone watching your channel wants to see you compete and be pushed with competitive matches. This is what everyone is looking for. I'm getting tired of your tuts and how to videos. So good. We love watching you play. Can you play sets? Or play ladder, league or tournaments with long format?
Not true. I'm pretty sure most are here for Nik's lessons. Let me guess: you want to know if you can "take him"?
@@formica. No, it's just more entertaining to watch a competitive match with someone who I'm familiar with than watch tutorials which are a dime a dozen on the internet. Why do you think Tennis Bros who are trying to get an ATP point get so many views, it's how engaging the content is.
@@shipwreck8847 Yeah I like watching matches, that is entertainment. I wouldn't expect most coaches, and they are mostly older, to play matches that well anyway. Watching coaching videos is for learning, but some of his students are entertaining.
@@formica. Yeah, but I think Nikola would wreck a lot of good players. That's what I want to see and also want to see the players that gives him trouble. He's good player. Unlike Ian Westermann who is a good coach, but not good player.
