Best online coach. Best explanations, best breakdowns, easiest for anyone to follow. Keep up the good work coach (from another coach). I've just sent this video to one of my most promising young juniors.
Just make sure you don't slip on the court. Wait, you mean you don't play when it rains? Actually, there is no on-court practice of split stepping in the rain. (1.) nobody else wants to play; (2.) the ball machine doesn't work with wet balls; (3.) at least you can practice serves, but then, you don't need a split step.
@@2MinuteTennis It's a funny thing that even though this is a tennis movement done for literally decades, it is something that is completely unnoticed by many who watch tennis, and recreational players. You can clearly see this in the 1960s top players. Thank you Ryan for your continued dedication and quality of delivery with your lessons. Oh yea...the positive energy is pretty awesome too! :) Cheers and Happy Thanks Giving (Well OK ... for tomorrow) ! :)
Split stepping actually starts slightly sooner. Begin jumping up right before the opponent hits the ball. You will be in the air when the opponent strikes. By the time you land, you will see where the ball is heading and move appropriately.
Awesome, well, very instructive.👍🎾🇷🇺 PS it's a funny, but l do it the same, because it's snowing in Moscow now and please put on your sneakers, I used to think that only in Russia people go barefoot or in socks at home, but all my family wearing sleepers for swimming pool 😁
So we need to be split stepping every time opponent strikes the ball; hundreds of times per set. Observation: The vast majority of 3.0 and 3.5 rec players do not do this. Not once! They can sort of get away with it at that level but it will not work against harder hitting 4.0 players... Wonder if there is a version of splitstepping that does not require lifting off the ground as many players will find this hard on the knees.😞
In the first example I’m appalled that a division 1 tennis player would fail to split step, ever. Well before players reach that level a split step should be so automatic that they’d execute a split step even if they were playing tennis while totally drunk. You failed point out that the passing shot that almost broke his ankles was a underspin forehand hit from well behind the baseline. Not a flat or topspin forehand which could have been a much faster passing shot. Some would say it is slightly disgraceful to be passed by a under spin passing shot hit from so far back.

Makes sense 2 split steps Ryan! To go either direction.
How did I not think of this drill? Let me turn on full tennis match and practice it. Thanks Ryan!

You are 100% correct!
You are the best
good video, smart comparison. I do think you might have an agenda against that cal tech player though
Why do you think that?

It’s not that hard on the knees. I agree the vast majority of players don’t do this. That’s why I made the video. 😜
