Thanks for your comment.

He didn't make a ton of errors or caught it late against Fils or Van de Zandschulp who hit harder than your average top 30 player...

Thanks for your comment. Tennis is not a one size fit's all sport. Spin gives you control, what I find players don't practice this shot enough, and that's why they don't get the result they are looking for. It's great you found a way to tackle the high ball for your style of play. Practice it, so it becomes a sure thing.

Thanks for your reply. I do agree, that's why it's such a pleasure to watch a player like Mannarino. However, it's not really the racquets. I've had my son who has a big game hit with a wood racquet and his groundstroke where just as big, if not bigger because of the extra weight. I put it down to the strings.

@@JustImproveYourGame yes you can hit the ball quite hard w wood but w much less control if playing players of equal quality. Borg's strokes aren't very different from those of recent top players, but he couldn't just take massive swings all the time in his wood racquet days. He hit harder in his comeback and on the senior tour. You can even see that on video. He had approach shots in his game with wood racquets. He even had to serve more conservatively and strategically. With Wimbledon surface chewed up by later rounds, he came forward. McEnroe said that he hit harder in his 50s than he did at 23. The rationale of his game went out the window w racquets that rewarded just ripping all out on most shots. We can't get a McEntoe in today's game. Aside from Alcaraz, most players are very tall and have two handed backhands. They aren't particularly athletic or balletic. It's like we're playing chess with all queens now. In golf, they made the courses longer and harder when the equipment changed in order to protect par. The Masters is 20% longer. Tennis doesn't change anything because the top guys rule and they make plenty of dough. But the game has lost the car and mouse quality. Few want to see a game in which a player like Joker, who is awful at coming forward relatively, be rewarded repeatedly. He's a windshield wiper. It's not beautiful or interesting. To me. I like watching players have to strategize to a greater extent and I like seeing contrasting strategies.

​@@doobeedoo2 I couldn't disagree more. Players hitting a serve and then putting away a volley is the most boring thing you can watch, yes there are some good cat and mouse points but you also have those today. And to say that modern players aren't particularly athletic when they're much stronger, faster and have much more endurance than older players is baffling. And please explain what's wrong with a player being tall??? And lastly Djokovic is not bad at coming to the net, but I'm guessing you didn't notice that he vastly improved at volleying seeing as you're seemingly stuck in the 80's...

@@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten Why not have some tournaments continue as the game is now but other tournaments change up the demands so that we aren't always rewarding the same style of play? The French plays faster than it used to; Wimbledon plays much slower since the court doesn't get nearly as chewed up as it used to; US Open, Aussie, & Indian Wells courts are pretty slow hard courts. So they all reward the same style of play. 6'3 or taller dudes w two handed backhands are now the prototypes.

Not only Shimaniki... maybe it would also be interesting for people like Sasha

Thanks for your comment. Ideally yes, staying grounded is always a better option. Hopefully he will calm down as he progresses, but then again some it's part of personality. As a result they learn to live with the errors that it brings.

@@JustImproveYourGame thank you for responding

if you are playing recreational tennis, then the advice of not jumping when hitting is applied better. Once you jump, you can easily miss the sweet spot of the racquet. However, on high level, you can check Alcaraz, Sinner, FAA,... They already have amazing accuracy so they usually jump/rotate to create even more power.

@@quoccuongtran759 yeah I see pretty much everyone leaving ground

@@JustImproveYourGame how is jumping bad? if you watch steffi graf she basically is air borne on every forehand she ever hit

Thanks for your comment. Don't over think the high ball. If you have someone who can feed you balls, or a ball machine set to give you the high bounce. You just have to learn to trust the physics of tennis. You are putting spin on the ball that will bring the ball down into the court. When my kids where very young I had them Hit up on the ball and try to hit the back fence, it took half a buck before the balls started landing in the court.

Still more inside out than down the line fh

@@cekinekshn Inside out FH is taken in the deuce side of the court for a righty! This wasn't close‼

@@quentincrisp6933 yes it was close, watch the trajectory of the ball, it doesn't go straight it's more inside out than down the line

@@cekinekshn What's with the "down the line"⁉ This shot was somewhat cross court taken slightly to the right of the service T. That isn't inside out ‼

@@quentincrisp6933 Yeh, I call it the "short diagonal". The big diagonal being the FH cross court but it definitively isn't a DTL shot.

Thousands??? Where?

On the other planets where they play tennis!

Who knows, he might even pose problems for Djokovic!

@@SkiingBiologyGod I just think Djokovic will perhaps not be that good in 2025 or 26. We will see. He won gold in the Olympics - I wasn’t expecting him playing that well!

Carlos probably the worts opponent for doing this. He is so fast.

Kyrgios would be pleased with this where he can use more often the underarm serve or Bublik

​@@ousmanefaye6119None of them have a chance against Carlos on clay. There's a reason Why people don't use use the underarm serve more often and it's only a surprise shot. If your rival is expecting an underarm serve the chances of winning are pretty low

Carlos will get to that ball pretty easily...

he does stand in closer on grass and hard because the ball doesn't bounce high. plus he can generate a lot of pace even with a lighter frame. he can't from a very deep positions contrary to what people think and the reason he does it on clay is because he needs time to handle the higher bounce.

The reason underhand serves are unsportsmanlike is not because they’re short. It’s because the ball toss signifies the “start of play”. In tennis there’s no whistle. If there was a whistle, which made players realise “the serve is coming now” then underhand serves would not be cheap at all. However, usually the surprise is not the short ball. The surprise is that suddenly the ball is already in play, which is unfair imo. In volleyball you have a whistle and as a result nobody thinks a short serve is unfair there, because the team was ready to receive.

@@MrPatrickbuit nah nah, in tennis the rule is ''the speed of the server'' so directly after a point is finished, the server has the right to serve at any time within the 25 second(sometimes more) limit. As a reciever it's your job to be prepaired for that

​@@louisedyhlen3234I dont know if its an actual rule that the receiver gets a minimum of 5 seconds preparation after a point has ended. But I know Nadal got his 5 seconds as a receiver by the umpire in a match where he got not enough time to prep by his opponent.

I’m trying to master underarms, they are very useful, especially if your opponent has any momentum. You just snatch it away.

It would have to be a perfect underarm serve because of Alcaraz extreme speed

@@user-jr6th5rp5k yes it would need to be very good, but even just bringing him forward and moving him up early in the point could throw him off enough to gain some moment in a game

@@MrFoofarew well he only does it on clay and i doubt that someone can consistently hit perfect underarm serves. Even if someone somehow does hit it a few times i doubt that Carlos will will change the return position

Yeah but it's his second serve. FAA either has to hit a low percentage first serve again or play into Alcaraz's plan. Had Alcaraz knew that FAA can go for accurate flat serves at will like Sampras he wouldn't have used this strategy.

If your not already subscribed, do. I will going more indepth in time. Commentators make tennis seem a lot more complicated then it is. Thanks for your inquiry

You don't normally flap/flick your wrist for topspin. It happens after contact as the wrist folds/breaksdown

Thanks. The angle of your racquet face all depends on the grip you use. What ever grip you use, Keep hitting up.

Sinner has the most top spin of all the two-handers on his backhand while his forehand has an average of 3000 rpm, so no he does not hit flat. And please explain how having being skinny is related to having hip injuries?
