      No , it is very difficult to copy, because Venus has very special swing on backhand ( racket heand is not showing up).
      Copy what she sayed , but use Djokovic swing.

    Honestly this gave me kind of a “aha” moment . I always struggled with my backhand and after watching this I think it was down to that contact point like you said - was bringing my head up too fast and spraying it. Can’t wait to practice that and stop running around to my forehand all the time 😂 thanks for a great vid, Vee!

  • @xclusiveedits6109
    @xclusiveedits6109 Рік тому +2

    I am guessing that playing repetitively will help develop these but I think what makes Tennis so interesting is that just by achieving being in the top 10 does not mean you will not be beaten by someone who has to have that level and how ether traits such as mental fortitude, personality, inner belief.
    I have improved so much. Thank you!

      one piece of advice i can give you as a coach is try to never ever ever be tentative. one thing i see from new players is they will almost patty cake the ball in just because they're afraid to make a mistake. NO you have to go for a good shot and to do that you have to take a good strong swimg swing thru your shot

I have been watching your double-handed backhand on t.v. at the U.S. Open, Wimbledon, Roland Garros and the Aussy Open for years now and incorporate that stroke into my amateur tennis play. Of course, Venus, your backhand is so incredible...extremely strong with superb execution & follow through. The double-handed; backhand shot is my favorite...I like the pace; turning my core and yes...recovery! The double-handed; backhand down the line is a beautiful thing! Thank you so much for showing us fans how to do it right! ✌❤🎾🏆🙌🔥🌹

Because I can tell you; hitting long - on both the FH and BH has a lot to do with head / chin popping up too soon…. And, where ever the head goes, the rest follows.
