Me too
Same. I'll watch the goat of any sport give a teaching lesson. I love to hear about the fundamentals of a sport .
😊 great lesson
Me after watching challengers
Gurl, me too 😂
NO LITERALLY
real asf 😭😭😭
did not expect to be taught serving by venus williams tonight, but i'm glad it was recommended :)
Me too. I am a big fan of her and her sister as will. I had a great a pleasure of seeing them played at US Open a few times at US Open tournament. Thank you Ms. V for all you do. I subscribed already so I won’t miss your next video.
Same here, I love ver. Best teacher ever.
Wow! I've always wanted to learn to play, and now I have an opportunity to be taught by one of the best! Thanks Venus🙌
Simple video that is packed with pearls #serve hack
omg btd youtuber
I love how she teaches that tennis is not just technique or practice, it has a lot to do with your personality, attitude, body language and confidence
I'm 54 and have finally given up on my Wimbledon hopes - but I have had a noticeable improvement in my serve thanks to this video - so thanks so much Venus!
You still have a shot at the Australian.
Lol
😅
This was excellent. Learning how to serve from 7-time grand slam champion. This is the internet at its best
exactly :) i was watching it and in my mind if Venus serves like this , i would have at least the same style as hers and be proud telling everybody that my serve is Venus'

Serena said you snap the wrist for serves @10:34. This can send you to a hospital and damage your wrist. Never never snap your wrist. You need to pronate not snap.
Always here to help!
@@VenusWilliams Hi Venus, can you clarify your sister Serena's statement about snapping the wrist for serves? Should it be pronation rather than snapping wrist? Snapping wrist for serves is very dangerous.
Venus Williams is teaching tennis on TH-cam?! Mind. Blown. This is brilliant. Thank you, Venus. I haven't picked up my racket in decades but I just reserved court time because of you. Cheers.
A champion indeed
Hi, Venus. Real tennis fans and tennis players respect you for your record on the court. You're a champion, many times over. It's great you are giving back by giving free lessons. I'm 68 and have been playing the game for fifty years and still love it and play regularly. Again, thank-you for all you have done for the sport and continue to do. I hope you continue to be active on the courts for many more years.
Tennis begins at LOVE ❤️
agree
Starting my 9 year daughter in tennis but cant afford lessons right now. Thank you for this. We're being taught by the best!
This is free training session from a legend, icon, role model of a tennis player! Thank you Venus.
Have you even wonder why did she do this???
Or was it all planned to fool people after that SLAP in Oscar's where she was seen grinning🤔🤔🤔 laughing🤔🤔🤔 n kind of standing with an onstage abuser???
She will do all free....i already know
Here to inspire!
@@VenusWilliams hi Venus. You and your sisters are both legends✌️
Did you stand for Chris? ... when he needed you the most? Don't forget, he has kids the person who got slapped. Did you take concrete actions on air to help out? Or is youtube is the new way to make $$ or divert attention. I know your image will probably suffer but I wished you both supported Chris rather than being silent.
For your sports, I know you will remain on top for decades to come, no doubt in that. Expected a not more from you though for Chris. Thx
@@VenusWilliams Hi Venus! Wow😲
@@VenusWilliams hey Venus! You're epic, and a great inspiration! Thanks for this :)
“No bending, no bowing during the serve…not the time to be humble” Gold!
Me cuz challengers
What a privilege to be able to be taught by an absolute tennis legend. Thank you, Venus so much, for taking the time to make this video for us all.
Internet doesn’t get any better than this! Absolutely fantastic, love from mel in Wimbledon.
Wow! This feels like receiving private swimming lessons from a mermaid. You’re perfectly comfortable and in your element, but you make it understandable for people who don’t find it quite as natural (yet). You’re going to save me from unlearning a lot of bad habits as I progress! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
Well put
would say the same thing to a t, she’s outstanding
Venus is fabulous. It’s just I’m currently watching this stumped.
Haha. Nice
Full of errors Sadly but love her attitude on these videos
Not only an all time great tennis player, but also an excellent teacher. Your instructions are very precise and calm. I loved it and learned a lot. Thank you.
I’m a tennis coach and I was very curious how you were gonna teach the serve. You know most of the beginners will struggle with that Continental grip lol but I appreciate your effort to inform everyone the correct grip. I’m just gonna send this video to all my students. Venus said so!
I recently tried continental grip as a beginner and the ball goes crazy to the left 😭😭😭 will it get easier with experience even for a casual player?
Do you seriously think anyone's going to listen to you? LOL
@@melinakerifan that's perfectly normal and probably happens to every other beginner that tries the continental grip for their serve. You're on the right track though! If the serve is going crazy to the left then make sure at impact your strings are facing the front. To do that with a continental grip you must pronate. (research that in the tennis serve) It takes from practice but we all start with that frying pan grip and learn to serve correctly! Good luck and enjoy the game.
this is very debatable... A the club level there isn't that much difference using the continental compared to the eastern grip. More over, most players are weekend warriors and do not feel comfortable using the continental grip. It does produce a bit more of a slice serve on the Eastern grip then Continental so that adds control. If you're just out having fun playing once a week and not striving for anything over 3.5 The Eastern Grip is just fine. At this level getting the ball in is the biggest priority and consistently. Most beginner players pancake the serve, so they don't hit on edge anyways. :)
@@sfowler1100 I agree! that's why I was curious to see how Venus was gonna teach this audience. I'm assuming it was geared towards beginners. Using the correct grip and technique is very hard for beginners to get. Sometimes the pancake grip serve is the best way to gain confidence getting the serve in and playing tennis. Teaching tennis is not easy! So many factors come into play! lol
A legend is teaching us how to serve on a free public platform? I’m working on making my serve better, and this video couldn’t have had better timing. Thank you so much for your time Venus!
Just amazing that you would take time to not only show up on the courts, but you show up and show us all the do's and don't of tennis 🎾 Love it!!
As a professional tennis coach in this industry for almost 2 decades and being at Maccis all training out there circa 93’ Venus is a class act and will be a great coach. She is fun relaxed and this was a fresh take on all the fundamentals. Kudos 🙌🏼
I wouldn't of expected such a simple and easy going lesson from someone that is a complete beast in a match. Very helpful and encouraging lesson. I'm a fan already.
wouldn´t of?
I am so flabbergasted that I ran across this video randomly. How cool is it that Venus Williams made a beginner 'how to serve' video that has real, patient, tangible tips for how not to suck at serving! With almost no editing, your fantastic personality and desire to help aspiring tennis players comes through like crazy in this video. It's so cool. Thank you! Do serve returns next?
Never played tennis in my life, not sure if I ever will, but sign me up for this course. She’s such a delightful teacher!
Emus, I’ve played 50 years, and that was the best 15 minutes of tennis ever. Thanks for giving back. You have a nice presentation style!
I completely adore this lady on many significant levels... the generosity of her time to give back to the world speaks volumes to the quality of her character. I have seen this video over 10 times and I can't put into words how immensely grateful I am for the privilege of being able to see content like this. Thank you Venus for all that you do.
i agree with you . Shes amazing. Very humble person.
She is just incredible. An amazing lady. Just can't stop loving her personality.....
Venus, you are amazing! I've played tennis for 10 years but couldn't place my serve until I heard your placement tip in this video. I went straight out on court and suddenly found I can serve out wide or down the T consistently using your tip! All my tennis coaches never told me the simple but highly effective tip you give in this video. Thanks a million!! You're a star !!
Never played tennis in my life. I just started practicing on my own a month ago. Couldnt understand why my serves were just launching to the back line lol. After seeing this tutorial i completely understand what i was doing wrong. Glad i watched this. Should have played this game growing up. It is so much fun.
Wow this is the best gift I’ve received in 2023! Venus teaching tennis! She’s an excellent coach because she observes all the potential mistakes non-pros would make and then offers precise solutions like a doctor. I love her!
This is a luxury! Having the great Venus William teaching us how to play tennis on TH-cam was unexpected and I’m so glad she did it. My respects to this legend, thanks!
Tried her advice on the court. Big improvement right away. I've spent lots of time and money trying to get better but never had a lesson so helpful. Thanks Venus.
You meen his lol that’s a man born biological. It’s amazing how people are so fucking stupid when it comes to biology 101. Can’t even tell if IT is a born male !
I am pinching my face now being able to watch Venus teaching tennis in a way that is so friendly and relatable!
Wow, just wow!
So excited to find you! I just decided that I should learn to play tennis at 57 yrs old. This is like having my own personal training session with one of greatest players of all time. Thank for doing this!!
Never bothered to take a tennis lesson in my 66 year old life except for watching TH-cam videos now and then. Happened upon this one from Venus and I went to the tennis courts same day to practice as per her instructions. OMG! I swear I was hitting 100mph serves with a 80+% success rate. I was shocked! Can't wait to try Venus's serve technique on my usual opponents - hehehe. Thank you so much. Looking out for Ms Williams next video with GREAT anticipation.
That is awesome!
Your opponents are gonna wonder how you got good so fast 😂
That's the advantage when Venus is your coach
I've been playing tennis for a few years and there were a few little things in this video that none of my 5 coaches ever told me, this video is just what I needed!
Hey there, would you take time and write what coaches havent told you that Serena did? Thanks. I am a coach to be✌️😄
@@rozar1269 Keeping my pointer finger seperate so my hand isn't in a fist, not leaning over after my serve, not throwing the ball to high so it falls into my serve. Good luck on coaching 👍
you mean Venus not Serena 🙂
@@subhasissarkar2748 ops😅😂✌️
As a newbie tennis player here I am very excited and appreciative of this opportunity to learn from a tennis legend like you Ms. Williams. Thank you
We loved watching you and your sister play in the US Open! I'm 39 and haven't played tennis since middle school but have decided to take it up again to play with my family. Thank you for the inspiration!
What a pleasant way to learn how to serve! Venus, you are a legend, and just the fact that you are sharing your ideas and skills with all of us, shows your true character. We are all lucky to have you with us. Thanks for sharing this video! We look forward to seeing many more!
You are so welcome
Such a good communicator.. Just got back into tennis and never knew about the grip changes for various shots, amazing breakdown of body positions to help consistency. All this direct from a world champ.. The internet is amazing. Thank you for giving this to us Venus.
What it means to be able to learn from such a legend of the game, really is incredible. Like many others who have commented, it is wonderful to learn from yourself. This content will mean so much to many people. Thank you Venus!
Great players usually don’t make great teachers, but - wow! - you’re an absolute natural at this, Venus. Seriously. Relaxed and fun - but not a wasted word.
Venus this is such an amazing video!! I am playing for almost 11 years and the serve was and still my most unstable shot. I am searching all the time for videos that will help me to improve my serve but none of them really helped so far. Your video really showing the basics of the serve so I think and hope that it's will finally help me to improve my serve. Thank you for that. I am your fan since I started playing tennis and I am waiting for you to come back on the court because you're really missing!!
Yes we miss her terribly!
Theres a super useful video by 2minutetennis, thats how I learnt how to serve its pretty great
@@alexlopezalbertos I tried yestearday Venus tips and my serve was so much better
@@shaharrosenberg8659 Happy to hear that!!
@@alexlopezalbertos Birthday hat!
Came to TH-cam to figure out how to change a light in my car, left with a tennis lesson from one of the greatest tennis players of ALL TIME ❤️❤️❤️
ha
@J F . So funny, now you can change the light in your car, and practice your tennis shots using the headlights.lol. have a good day.
I started playing tennis in the pandemic now I love it, Im trying to improve my serve . THANK YOU VENUS
I love you emphasising the Recovery
I’m a COVID tennis baby playing recreational tennis and trying, trying to improve my serve.
A lot of the TH-cam coaching videos are too complicated for a beginner. This video is clear, concise and not trying to sell me something. Appreciate this. Thanks Venus!
Katherine, I’ve created a bunch of videos for entry level players just like you - check them out and hope they help:)
Thank you for being so humble as to make a video for everyone to learn from! So helpful! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
I have seen you many times in the competitions always silent, now I like how you talk and how pedagogically explain. I love it!
I watched the kick-serve segment. It was delightful.
My husband has been trying to teach me for years; and you broke it all down into easy to understand steps - can't wait to practice ! hallelujah ! Thank You!!!
Just started playing at the ripe age of 36. Thanks for the lesson, you're a good teacher!
Venus is a wonderful kind teacher. So helpful!
Love the straight arm and finger tips for the toss. Can’t wait to try it. Many thanks
What an honor to be taught by Venus herself! ❤️ Thank you!
VEEE! You are a NATURAL TEACHER! Easy to follow, and you totally broke it down into each segment. I will DEFINITELY learn to serve NOW!!! I LOVE YOU V!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Serving on court. Serving the Tennis aspirant community. There’s absolutely no need for you to put effort to make TH-cam videos, but you did it. And that makes you different from other star players. Cannot thank you enough for trying to help aspirants like me. Highly motivating and cannot wait to practice these golden tips on court! Love you for your humbleness dear Venus! 😘
Love the detail and patience of your explanation!
I'm your fan since I think 2000 or so. You have got such a classy personality and the way you play tennis is a pure art. Much love and respect. Thanks for the video.
I thought this was a rando channel featuring Venus, but it's actually her own! Thank you for these :D I feel privileged to be able to watch a lesson from such legend!
Thank you v. ,your teaching is sincere, you not holding anything back
WOW! A tennis lesson straight form Venus Williams! AMAZING, THANKS!
I’ve been playing tennis for 40 years, just LOVE the tips you gave. Thank you Venus, I know I will be improving my serve - can’t wait to get on the court to execute!
I logged on to my computer to find a video on removing the electrical housing from my motorcycle and much to my surprise I see Venus teaching serving. I decided to watch and I actually learned something. I can't wait to apply this to my game. I am going to watch a few more tutorials from you as well. Thank you
That one simple thing about the finger really helped me direct my serve. Thank you!
You make it look so easy! Thank you legend for this incredibly easy to follow break-down of the serve.
LOVE the step-by-step instructions and the clear verbal communication! She’s a great teacher!
I agree, I'm a Japanese but her voice is very clear and easy to undestand. Just amazing!
Wow! That smooth ball toss into the court, and the perfect alignment of the body to meet the ball. Been trying to do this consistently and now I'm motivated to do this even more. Thank you, champion!
I'm just getting started in the game at 34. This was so helpful. Your step-by-step instructions really helped to demystify it for me. Thank you so much for doing this!
Wow we are so blessed to be learning from the best. Thank you Venus! It really is about the timing and rhythm.
Holy cow...What a great teacher you are, Venus. I'm in my 50s and have been playing since I was about 8 years old, and I had never been taught the basics of serving in such a complete, step-by-step manner from beginning to end. This will make all the difference as I practice and get rid of my bad habits. Wow...Thank you!
This is a really great breakdown of the serve! Your explanation is clear, concise, and makes sense!
This is awesome. Being taught by one of the best. So humble. Stay blessed!
Been watching matches for the last few days and I’ve been inspired to pick up my racket and try tennis again this video is very helpful! thank you Venus an absolute legend 🙌🏽👏🏽
A masterclass from the Venus Williams!
Great class, teacher!! For me, as a 40years old beginner, it's a treasure. Thanks from Aranjuez (Spain)
Thank you Venus for going over all of the aspects of the serve. You are the greatest!
Thank you Venus, you’re a natural teacher! So clear and methodical. ❤❤❤
Such a great teacher, so generous. I love how friendly you are with us
Never knew Venus was such a great professor. Never even knew that my index finger had such technical importance. I have learned and understood everything she said. The WHYs, HOWs, WHATs, WHEREs and WHICHes. I will remain with the WHEN. Now it's time to practice!
I started playing tennis 3 weeks ago. This video helps my serve!
As one of the most talented servers ever, I'm amazed with how Venus is able to break the stroke down into such simple easy-to-understand points for a layperson like me.
This is crazy. I would have never imagined to learn the serve from a pro. You really are a model, wish you the best!
Venus, I never expected a tennis lesson from someone of your calibre! It was very useful and thorough besides being an honour and fun! Everything put together it was an awesome experience. I will be an attentive and dedicated follower of your amazing tennis classes! Be well. Be happy!❤
Thank you Venus. You helped tremendously with my toss, which helped dramatically with my serve! I have never seen it explained so simply. Thank you again!
Without a doubt, the best TEACHER of the game I've ever seen. Pure class.
In one take, Venus covers all the basics clearly and precisely, explaining the reasoning for everything she does. That’s not easy to do. I’m sure she’s gotten a lot of coaching, but hasn’t done much teaching herself, so she’s a natural at it. What a nice person she is.
Yeah, and she doesn't joke around but also tries to appeal to all skill levels. She made an ice cream simile/metaphor, but it wasn't some joke to get popular. Everything was just smooth all the way through just like her serve.
Newsflash!! Being a great player doesn't necessarily translate into being a great coach!! That ice-cream cone thing was puzzling...I would never hold an ice-cream cone that way...it was weird!!
@@sergeilutzak2479 It's not the point if the video, but oh well.
@@sergeilutzak2479 Maybe you would hold an ice cream cone that way if you had long acrylic nails like Venus sometimes enjoys!
Totally agree. She has a gift in teaching
I’m so happy I stumbled onto this. Each lesson is taught in a simple and concise way. Thank you Venus. Keep them coming.
You are a GREAT teacher Venus! The part about making sure the elbow is up has been a game changer for me. Thank you!!!
Venus thank you so much for this video. You've always been not only a champion but one of the most supportive ones on tour ❤️
Thank you Venus Williams. So clearly presented and broken down into clear, understandable steps.
OMG! A serve tutorial by the queen! How lovely of Venus taking the time to share her treasures with us! Thank you Venus! ❤️
Oh my gosh. I LOVE this woman! What a public speaker... each sentence was thought through and helpful with minimal to no cuts in the filming. That's no small feat. A delight to watch; I'm a FAN!!
This is why she the best. So technical in every detail aspect!
I love this video. I've been playing just under a year and still am working on getting a more consistent serve. These tips were just what I need. Thank you Venus! I'd love to see more videos like this 😍
Loved this video!!! Will definitely be putting all your tips to practice!
Never played tennis until just recently when my boy started playing for school. I’m a 44 year old newb and these videos by Miss Venus are very enlightening! Hopefully I’ll be able to keep up with my kid after watching these.
Hi Venus I’m a huge tennis fan From México, im 68 and I always looking for better ways to improve my serving game so this definitely gonna help me and thanks for all you do for Tennis
I’ve watched her serve thousands of times but this was the first time I actually watched the mechanics of the serve. It’s also the longest I’ve ever waited to watch her finish that serve 😄
This was a lot more helpful than a lot of coaches who have actually taught me. I learned more from a nearly 15 minute video of Venus teaching than I ever did from my high school tennis coach of 4 years.
I have watched a lot of videos about the serve. This is by far the best. Venus seems to be a natural teacher as well.
I love Venus’ presentation on this serving video! Very comprehensive! I use different illustrations (Continental “hammer grip” rather than Eastern and top of the racquet down to the floor to snap) but I still absolutely love this, and I LOVE Venus the Queen! Thank you for giving back to this wonderful sport! 🎾
Thank you Venus for the detailed explanation, a lot of pros charge for these kind of lessons you don’t and you’re one of the best players to have played tennis, thank you very much
