Seems like you live in a southern city. Is that right? I'm an airline pilot and visit all over the place, and always bring my gear. I'm played in college in the 90s, but i don't do usta anything. I imagine i'm a 5.0. Want to hit?
@@euroclyde How do you think tennis and specifically the forehand grip will evolve? Do you see it keeping a majority semi-western grip or is there enough incentive to use a more extreme grip despite the obvious risk of injury?
@@michaelvonhaven105 That's a good question. I think it's a comfort and personal preference at this point. The stroke has changed & become much looser and more whippy. A player has to have at least a semi-western grip to be able to use this technique. It seems the more extreme western the grip moves, the more a player gets topspin. That's good, but it comes at the price of hitting through the court faster. So, again, I think it's kind of the preference of the player and the type of game they have. That said, maybe the grip they use in early in their training drives the type of game they end up focusing on and training to play; i.e., a more severe western grip player with extra topspin might be more an all-or-nothing forehand kind of hitter like Sock, Johnson, or Ferrer as opposed to a more semi-western, more comfortable with all shots from all places like Djokovic.
I'm honestly really impressed with her play. Despite the fact that women tend to play flatter it looked like she handled your off the baseline spinny shots pretty well. Also, she didn't come to net much but when she did she had the touch... hashtag shania twain. Is she playing with a Head Prestige? I feel like she would benefit from a more power-friendly raqcuet...
Hunter Olsen she was getting good pop IMO off the ground. Sometimes she wasn’t fully getting into position to hit her backhand, and You can see when she moved her feet and got those shoulders and hips turned into the shot, she had good power. Definitely has talent.
Seems like more of the younger generation of women are learning how to play with spin. Andreescu might just be the first in a whole new style of play to hit the women's pro ranks soon.
Exhaling at contact (not just grunting or making some random noise) gives more power, and every player does this - but you don't hear most players because it doesn't require making an obnoxious sound. The exaggerated sounds is done to distract opponents. It's proven every time they make a tough hit at some random shot *with just as must power* and forget to do the scream.
I disagree. Audible exhaling for me especially helps with rhythm, focus and of course helps to remind yourself to breath deeply on a stressful physical point. She’s prepping for a match here so she definitely should be using her match tactics and form.
iRacer3 I’ll disagree with your disagree. I’m not discounting all of the things you mentioned but it’s psychological. This ridiculous moaning/grunting is something amateurs see pros do and emulate, that’s it. There are plenty of other sports that require hand eye coordination, significant body movement rotation, rhythm and yet tennis is the only sport where this exists. Do you hear LPGA players moan on any golf shot? You do not.
Based on some of the female juniors you've hit with lately, it seems they're starting to teach women to hit wrist lag forehands, rather than the "WTA style" forehands. Nice to see that it seems like they're finally figuring out that women don't have to play differently than men just because they're women.
I figured out that “wrist lag” is just a product of turning your body and using your whole arm, if you try to focus of wrist lag, you aren’t helping yourself in any way.
NTRP is 40 years old. UTR is 2 years old. NTRP Beginner is 1.0, World class is 7.0. But there a difference in gender of course. A 3.5 NTRP man is the same as a 4.2 NTRP woman and the same as a UTR 5. In UTR, Federer is 16.25. Serena Williams is UTR 13. Great college men are UTR 13. Good sectional boys 16’s are UTR 9-11. Supposedly UTR doesn’t take gender into consideration but junior girls are rated too high. I’m a NTRP 5.0 man, and a UTR 9, and I see 14-year old girls rated UTR 9’s but I would beat them easily. UTR is still awesome though. It’s fun to compare everyone. All of us tournament players are obsessed with improving our UTR’s!
The biggest difference between the two is the footwork. Hers is way better than his. She takes more little adjustment steps anticipating the ball. He stands there flat-footed waiting to see what's going to happen. Both of them are just hitting to keep the ball in play, so it's really hard to say what would happen in point or game situations.
Simondo81 100% yes. She’s prepping for a match and breathing techniques (the exhales during a full swing) are critical in very physically demanding sports. Audible breathing not only helps you oxygenate your body but helps with rhythm as well. You ever heard a pro boxer hitting a bag? The breathing exhale hissing sound you hear them make is not for show there either.
iRacer3 I disagree. Plenty of players (and many great ones at that, Justine Henin and Steffi Graf for example) never made such a noise when practising or indeed playing important matches. How is it different for players who grunt? Let’s face it, they hear and see players like Azarenka, Halep and now the upcoming players such as Sabalenka (really great game which I enjoy but the noises put me off) and they copy.
The girls good. What is she, 14? 15? The man would beat her 6261 though. No contest. I’ve been a NTRP 5.5/5.0 my whole career and I woulda been Top 100 for sure, likely Top 50 WTA. This girl is great, for how small she is. She be a very good small college player, or possibly play #5 or #6 on a Division 1 team. Good rallies.
neil monroe well it would be a good idea to gender test the so called elite women, so that the world can finally know who is a real women and who is not.
Thank you for using utr. Its really helps everyone better understand someones level.
It’s nice you take your own time to hit with the younger generation. Build that love for one of the best sports ever.

Nice player. She’s got good, soft hands at the net. Always a plus to have base net skills. Enjoyed the video Andrew. Thanks.
So. Anyway. I guess you were more into sin racing than tennis when you started this channel then?
Nice! A tennis video! Haven’t watched it yet, but PLEASE TAKE MY LIKE! I’m sure this will be a good video like usual.
Lia Vang thank you for the blind faith
lol. You look like Pig Pen from Charlie Brown playing over there in that cloud of dust. Anyway, good hit. Love hitting with solid younger players.
Great rally! I wish I could be consistent ball hitter like you guyz
She has a beautiful forehand...
Nice video!
I play tennis too! I’m a beginner though. 😊
Ariiannaxx i bet your younger than 10
Corey Lu Says the one who can’t even make a upper - case ‘I’ and forgets to put periods at the end of their sentences. And also, I’m 12.
Ariiannaxx There wasn’t anything offensive . Why did you get so mad??
thank's for all your videos!
i serve flat 100 mph: ua-cam.com/video/GN1Te4XvPw8/v-deo.html
and want 120 mph - tell me what improve
Good top spin by the female tennis player with wrist lag
I think you have to focus more on your TENNIS content..It has built it's foundation.
Her forehand consistently lands to short... that's why he's able to grove her strokes so easily...
Strong forehand and really good footwork approaching the net
I'm honestly really impressed with her play. Despite the fact that women tend to play flatter it looked like she handled your off the baseline spinny shots pretty well. Also, she didn't come to net much but when she did she had the touch... hashtag shania twain.

BEAUTIFUL BACKHAND FROM HER WOW
Sydney! Really fun to hit with her. Glad to see she is progressing.
sydney pratt?
yowie wowie...
Western forehand, 2 handed backhand. Dime a dozen.
deanc2000 semi western
Nice!
why do so many female players make noise when they hit lol

@@ForumLight I read a scientific study about this that said that there is little to no effect on power from grunting.
I disagree. Audible exhaling for me especially helps with rhythm, focus and of course helps to remind yourself to breath deeply on a stressful physical point. She’s prepping for a match here so she definitely should be using her match tactics and form.

Very nice video, I like it. This girl has very good tennis skills, she will become a very good tennis player in future.
She haves a good tennis!!!
She's a very solid hitter. That cross court shot, good power. Accurate and great Foot work. Yeah star player in the making.

Nice to see that it seems like they're finally figuring out that women don't have to play differently than men just because they're women.
What are you talking about, the girl in this video has a typical WTA forehand.
Wrist lag is a myth
The racquet is going behind the body, wta style , although not much behind
You are trolling super hard she has the WTA forehand
I figured out that “wrist lag” is just a product of turning your body and using your whole arm, if you try to focus of wrist lag, you aren’t helping yourself in any way.
The player on the other side seems a better player with the groundstrokes.
Nice play

Shot tolerance to spare!
Cool socks!

Is there need for the grunting during a practice session??? Unnecessary.

i like seeing these different match ups. were you not trying as hard as you can? because that looks like a 4.0 usta level in socal

What happen to soccer?
Bro, you have more of a WTA forehand than she does lol
Moonball special.......she wants pace, that's why she is hitting. Hit it dude
Very few understand just how good the elite women players are.
