Thanks a lot for your lesson. I think you have tennis intelligence! Like Roger Federer. He doesn't just play tennis. he plays a combination of tennis, badminton, and squash. He knows exactly what shot is right for every situation.
Another good point about those opponents who play 'all out' is that they often can only hold such a level for so long. They might get the first set but I find they nearly always drop off at start or middle way of second set
@@Pabloeugeniogalianoyou didn’t ask me, but I’ll say it’s probably the rackets stiffness catching up to him. That coupled with polyester strings can be an arm destroyer
imo Tennis without volley is sad and boring. But you can volley for sure. Love it. These three lawn courts in you back are beauties. You must be somewhere in England, bc that's one of the rare place where this exists. There was a time in the 1970s there were three of the four GS on lawn, how about that ?
Simon, are you back to Masters ITF's again? Those were great videos you were making then and would love to see that again. Road to Masters #1 in World for Over 35's would be a great series
Unfortunately not, I’ve had many injuries the past year. Damaged my coccyx last August, then had a herniated disc in my back and my lower back is seriously compressed from the years of tennis on hard courts, so I’m trying to just get back to playing pain free
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thats serious enough. I take it you have been working with a decent chiropractor for serious treatment and doing squats/deadlifts in the gym to get your back stronger? I would keep my distance from any surgery
I’ve had multiple physios and chiropractors etc but none of them could help me get better. They were pushing me to get a fusion on the slipped disc and to fuse the lower back. That would result in almost zero rotation of my lower back so tennis would be done for me. I decided to give those guys up, went online and started researching what others did to heal similar injuries. Found a former pro athlete who retired due to back issues who now runs a website which specialises in back treatment and rehab, started doing his methods and after 3-4 weeks was playing again. Tons of work on my right oblique as my left is 3x the size and strength from serving and forehands. Then tons of back extension work with long contractions and lots of deadlifts with lower weights but full ROM and holding certain positions. Plus an hour a day of stretching to lengthen the gaps between vertebra’s
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Avoiding surgery is the best thing generally. At least your back to playing again. Re 'physios' most are glorified massagist$ who do next to little and sometimes offer downright useless 'advice'. There is only been very few times I have come across a physio who is worth their often exorbitant price. However for 'chiropractors' despite there being some who are either quack$ or those looking to squeeze funds slowly out of someone, majority of those I have come across have been good with one being exceptional until they left the region entirely. What was the website of the guy who helped you? And have you tried deadlifting heavier? I have found the moment I squat and deadlift as per usual any back soreness has gradually subsided.
ONLY 5 Minute Warmup on court is beyond annoying and irritates me everytime these bothersome 'officials' come around and police it in their grouchy manner. Should be 15 minutes especially in colder weather or when there is NIL practice courts. 10-15 minutes at least
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial LITERALLY my thoughts. Only a few Opens I have played where they kind of were lenient / caring but usually they seem to not give a f*ck. Its all about 'getting matches on and off' rather than quality, health and injury prevention
I love playing possum on my opponent but then again I'm a tennis hustler. Kinda like a pool shark who will start playing a little crappie then bringing on the A game when the betting increases. It's what Bobby Riggs would do on the courts of Los Angeles. I even get some opponents to spot me a couple games per set.😂😮😢
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Ahh I see. That video was truly enjoyable too. I personally think the best jokes though were on the item title cards (which unfortunately, Most UA-cam audiences will not read). Perhaps in retrospect, retention and sharing the vid would occur more if "stakes" were put on the vid and reflect that in the title some way. For instance, you and Alex could 'draft' a set of items and play mini tennis set. (You guys are certainly good enough to make the match feel realistically competitive). This also creates the opportunity for more banter which I believe really elevated your previous funny vids. Whoever wins must correspondingly do the task of the winner's item. Example ( winning watering can = water plants once). However, just an idea. Please continue to run the channel in such a way that supports your passions and goals on the platform. Clearly shows in every video you produce!

Absolutely spot on. The hot and cold players
yup made this mistake before, no energy left for 2nd set 😅 so pace ourselves conserve energy now for the whole match right 😎
A man is grateful for hearing the truth.
👌
Very helpful!
Thanks for the video Simon. I will follow these tactics. Believe I will do well.
Thanks Simon, great stuff. Dude, you're so good. Love seeing the clips of you playing! Cleean.
Thank you
My pleasure 🙏
Thanks a lot
My pleasure 🙏
What racket yo you use? I saw it was a babolat in all your shorts and vids. It looks very maneuverable and good for volleys
I’m looking to change just now. I’ve got terrible elbow issues after two years with the babs
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficialwhy do you think is the reason? The vibration?

These beautiful courts are in Oxford, 🏴 so well spotted
Break down the dinner forehand
That’s on my to film list for this week 🙏

Hope to see Jack Draper and Billy Harris do well at Wimbledon. Dan Evans will go well also
If I was a betting man, I’d put some money on Jack. He had a great run on the lead up events
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Jack has being impressive to say the least but I have quite liked Billy's performances so far.
What is this white racquet?
It was a prototype frame
ONLY 5 Minute Warmup on court is beyond annoying and irritates me everytime these bothersome 'officials' come around and police it in their grouchy manner. Should be 15 minutes especially in colder weather or when there is NIL practice courts. 10-15 minutes at least
Maximum profit for their events with no real care about the players or their health
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial LITERALLY my thoughts. Only a few Opens I have played where they kind of were lenient / caring but usually they seem to not give a f*ck. Its all about 'getting matches on and off' rather than quality, health and injury prevention
Most of them are savages. Only the events run by former players or coaches tend to be more understanding

Hope you have time to make a funnier video again! Miss the days of tennis sterotypes, Christmas special, etc. You guys have great comedic timing
We tried to do some funny videos two summers ago, they did terrible so we haven’t tried since - m.ua-cam.com/video/q21YYfzmhOs/v-deo.html
