Great video being a big fan. I think his talent is legendary. He showed he can hit a ball and knock a can off the top your head at ten feet away. That's how accurate and precise he is. That's why he can tell every nuance in a racket. I remember after a victory, the interviewer asked him to hit a signed ball at particular person in the upper stands. This had to be hundreds of feet away and Fed just smacked that ball right to them just shocking every eyewitness. He's more than a once in lifetime phenom, he's a once in humanity phenom.
@@TheTennisMentor What I learnt from Federer is I like using his backhand grip for doing my slice drives with because that grip keeps the ball low down in the court and you don't have that trouble of the ball wanting to pop or float in the air and fall weak and short because that grip and his low to high swing I found allows me to pronate drive the ball with a dipping spin to keep it down in the court but still behaving as a slice drive to move away from people on the bounce or skid and stay down low so when I changed over to his grip for my slice that change of grip resolved the short weak sitter slice issue that i used to have. Gone are all the short weak balls. Because that grip always hits the ball deep in the court.
I remember an interview I read a long time ago in which the interviewer said to Fed “You’re well known for keeping your eyes locked in on the point-of-contact all the way through your finish, but how do you then know where the ball’s going without watching it?” … to which Fed replied “I don’t need to watch the ball to know where it’s going.” He good.
fantastic video ashley. He has so much knowledge obviously to shar. I would love to see sharing even more of his wisdom to the public. Also I must say that his movement looks better again. His knee looks in good spot! And also an amazing moment for you to be at the laver cup to witness him play this close. Well deserved for your hard work
@@servingaces I also hope that we hear more from him, I’d love to hear him commentate (although I think that’s unlikely). Thanks as always for supporting the channel 🙏
@@TheTennisMentor You can't have a coach screaming away up in your head looking for faults and criticizing errors and mistakes when you are on the court playing in a match. In the match your head has to be all calm and peaceful and clear with no negative fault finding coach playing in your head...... But unfortunately some of us had screaming criticial coaches in our training and it was hard to get the screaming coach out of our heads when playing in the matches.. For the coach I had would circle all around the court like a shark looking for things out of place with the players and soon as he spots something one of his players is doing wrong in he goes for the kill to rip that player to bits about it. And under that atmosphere we learnt to train in caused lots of tension and nervousness around our mistakes and errors and you didn't feel very safe or confident with the coach circling around the courts looking for something to road kill. Or get double if the coach is in a bad mood. All the wrong things to condition for match play. if you had a screaming coach always in your ear ripping you all to pieces over all your mistakes and weaknesses in training, chances are you could end up doing the same thing to yourself in your matches which might explain why players get all negative and start punishing themselves about their mistakes and errors because they had coaches that did the same thing to them in training..

A legend in every way! Grateful to have grown up watching his legacy.

No no no, 1:37 hit the ball as hard as you possibly can is what I heard 😂 can't believe you overlooked it!
😂😂
You don't think I can hit it harder, do you? Fine! I'll PROVE it to you!
I can hear myself “keep the head still” the I proceed to hit a forehand looking to the sky 😅
That learning point about a still head thru contact, is pure gold 🪙😊
👌👌

Excellent!
6:41 that smash is a joke, it’s so good 🤯
Could you do a video about movement?What did federer had in his movement that seperated him from the others?
I’ve done a few videos on movement, but are you looking for one specifically on Fed?
Yes that would be great@@TheTennisMentor
My eyes were on the back 😂 You got nice display Ashley ✨
Thanks, needed to ‘tennisify’ the office a little!
perfect keep it up
🙏🙏
GOAT
Every one should look at Rogers foodwork , the best off all pro players
Yes!
“I understood the importance of saying less”. What does this mean mate?!
I was guilty of giving my players too much help/info, they became reliant on me. Now, I say much less, drawing the answers from my players themselves.
@ thanks for absolutely shredding any hope of humour in my comment! 😂
😂 this one went straight over my head
