Hi Brent, many thanks for posting this match (and any others you may do in the future). Busby is impressive - whacks the forehand and some of those drop shots off the backhand slice are insane. Fedderley's no slouch either - love his simple technique on his forehand, looks like he can hit that in all day to a good length. I think as many other viewers have commented, their athleticism is probably the most impressive feature of their games. Stay well and thanks again from the UK!
Glad you liked this match. I agree. These guys can go all day long.
Busby has a sensational forehand topspin 🎉. Plus excellent leg speed. You need an Andre Agassi type topspin backhand to keep him and lefty Mark Vines and Peter Markes honest.
For starters ...
hi Brent, thanks for posting the match! Love watching senior tennis! it's motivating!
Red! These two are motivating for sure ;-)
Thanks for putting this together for us Brent. Watching this makes me realize it’s time to go back to the ‘drawing board’ and get to work on game plans and shot selections. Great instruction on what ‘real tennis’ looks like! From the way those two move around the court it also reminds me it’s time to hit the gym - so you’ve provided plenty of food for thought here.
Hey Jeff! Glenn Busby from Australia is easily arguably the best player in the 6os in the world. You're right. Think more about where you want the ball to land over there, where you then want to move to next on the court, and above all .. get your arse in amazing shape ;-)
Incredibly few unforced errors, and an abundance of RS's. Thanks for a great match, Brett.
So true. These are two of the best players in the world in the 60s age group so no surprise that they rarely miss.
Very few of the top guys work on their weaknesses. That is why i like the younger guys and gals! Coco Gauff and the current number one female have excellent technique on backhand topspin. Which these seniors lack! Just like ping pong and pickleball,you need to pound it from the baseline on both forehand and backhand to be elite!
Not in the seniors do you have to pound it to be elite.
Busby and Vines have amazing forehand topspin. I call that pounding it! Both backhands are weaker and can be exploited! Busby just won worlds again.🎉
Nice play! Those guys are in great shape.
I’ve noticed at the higher age divisions the more the drop shot is used. You posted a singles match in the past. It was a 70s division match between Brian Cheney and someone else. Drops shots were really flying. I’d better get on board with that.👍
What's up Dave! Right. Don't be a later adopter on the drop shot ;-)
These guys are incredible players! In their 60's? The way they move, I would have thought they are in their 40's! Very complete games! I'm impressed with both players, but I'm really impressed with Mike Busby!
Hey Chris. It's Glenn Busby from Australia. Arguably the #1 player in the world in the 60s right now. And Mike Fedderly is also one of the top players in the world in this age group. They put in lots of work. Obviously ...
Brent Abel's WebTennis.com My bad, Brent. Got the names mixed up.
Thanks for posting this one. Can you tell me who is on the court next to this playing Toby Crabel?
Mike Tammens.
The only way to beat world 💯 number one Busby is to pound an inside out forehand topspin to Busbys backhand. Also, a two handed cross court topspin backhand will similarly overpower Busby's weak slice backhands. Busby is technically very elite! Love his game. I dear to say,he is almost unbeatable when he is hitting his running forehand topspin 🎉. I can't wait to play and beat him but i am not eligible for 65 tournaments for 21 months!
All I can say is wow. How fit are these guys, eh? Twist serves. Slice serves. Slice backhands ALL DAY. No weaknesses. I took away that these guys end more points than hit outside the lines.
You're looking at Glenn Busby arguably the world 60s #1. Mike Fedderly's right up there too. And still, the video doesn't do em justice. You'd know just how good they are if you're on the court with them.
Hy Bret, is the attack on the second serve (for seniors), I mean it´s velocity important or placement.
Hi Enrique. It's disguise. Can you disguise with your racket prep for power, placement, and your next court position. You've got to mix it up to keep em unsettled over there.
I really like Busby's one handed backhand too! That's why he is better than Mark Vines! Busby is a bad ass! 😊😮😢😂🎉🎉🎉
Thanks very much for posting. I apologize for this long comment, but I found some very interesting data after charting the match and running it through my analyzer. There are some situations that really stand out as difference makers in this match with lessons for my game. Some of the key data follows, just hit "read more".
The major differentiator in the match is Busby’s serve to the ad court. He won 23 out of 25 (92%) of these points as compared to winning 12 of 26 (47%) on the deuce side and 47% of points won on Fedderly’s serve (25 out of 53 points). As you go back and watch, you can see that although Fedderly runs around and hits pretty good forehands on a lot of these, he is so far out of the court that he is at a significant disadvantage immediately in the point. When he was serving, Fedderly won about the same percentage serving to the deuce side he won serving to the ad court.
The next key to the match was where Busby seemed to place additional focus on points. When he was serving, he won 52% (10 of 19) points when the score was tied (0-0,15-15,30-30 or deuce). When he was ahead, he won 70% of the points (16 of 23). But, when he was serving and behind in the game, he won 9 out of 9 points! So, he was never more than one point behind in a game he was serving.
The last thing I want to focus on here is that the point length in this match is dramatically different than the O’Shannessy 70%, 20%, 10% for 4 shots and under, 5-8 shots and 9+ shots respectively. In this match, only 42% of the points were 0-4 shots. 31% were 5-8 shots and 27% were 9 or more shots. Obviously, those points are significantly longer than what O’Shannessy has been reporting. Obviously, could be just this match, these two players or senior tennis, but the difference certainly leads to different action plans than he has been advocating. But it is also interesting to see that Busby lost more of the serve or serve plus one points (24 lost out of 44), but he won 67% (40 out of 60) of the 5+ shot points. Even more interestingly, he won 76% of the 5+ shot points on his serve (25 out of 33). This may indicate a residual effect of the court position advantage he has after the serve, but seems more likely to be the result of additional focus during his service games (he won “only” 56% of 5+ shot points on Fedderly’s serve).
One has to be careful taking too much out of a single match and out of the statistics which even through a whole match have a limited number of shots to project from, but the results above really stood out as compared to other matches. My takeaways for my game are to pay attention to serve/return to the different sides of the court and to focus on some points far more than others.
I have many more stats (a lot of the traditional first serve percentage, winners vs. errors, etc.) for this match and more which I will make available after I have a chance to format them for distribution if there is interest.
No apology needed Dan. Check out these stats - bit.ly/busby-fedderly-stats-2019-hardcourts
Thank you for all the great info.
Who is who???
Why not present all tennis matches this way regardless of age or gender of the participants? We all would have more time to cook dinner.
Hey John. So you like the edited versions of these match replays?
