Has anyone taken you up on your challenge to play against you yet??? I think that they are too much of a coward to try to play you though.
@@yakzivz1104 yes check my YT story for update
Get Ema to work on increasing stride angle. The greater the stride angle, more speed you can build off the first step, and the lower the body becomes. Right now she has short strides, small angle, sort of just bends down, or bends her knee down for those low balls. You instead can bring that knee down to the ground much more naturally with increased stride angle. This is what I noticed I have lost since taking breaks from playing most. Novak has serious stride angle for example...
Ouch thats some killer training going on there. You'll always get trolls who write stuff they don't understand hiding behind their keyboard. Also one thing they don't understand is, it's a lot slower on video than in person. I've noticed it myself when I record myself it's so slow compared to the real thing. It made me realise how intense the pros play and the speed! Just like in this video. Keep up the good work!
It looks much worse on video that’s true
I don't see that it's slower on video. Maybe because my pace nowadays is slow period, live or video. But what I noticed watching the pro is how much smoother they are when watching live. I watched Roddick live. His serve didn't look any faster than on TV. In fact, I watched him on clay court , so his serve looked slower than on TV hard court match, but his strokes looked so much smoother.
@@tomsd8656 yeah. I saw roddick play a Spanish guy, Alberto Martin ( I think that was his name) down in Houston for Davis cup. Over 20 yrs ago now. They played on grass. Incredible how quick their reaction times were. You didn't see huge pace like Federer or del potro, but their hands and feet were so fast. Both baseliners playing on grass. Wasn't a great match, (roddick won in straights) but enlighterning on how difficult the level is even if it looks crap on TV.
Everyone online is a pro. Meanwhile in reality they're moon balling at their local club (myself included)
Thank you Nic and Ema, so inspiring to see how a pro prepares herself and make progress back into the tour!
Not coming back on tour, but competing again in tournaments 🏟
She's amazing. She's been coached well as a child. And she's preserved her technique through the gap years...truly amazing.
would love to see some point play coaching with ema!
Coming soon…
The conversations are great. "4.0 on your best day"..LOL.
QUALITY video. Those racket reviews were not for me, so I am very happy to see new videos of coaching. Absolutely amazing humility from Ema! She is extremely coachable for someone that high ranked, which helps us viewers a lot! So thank you Ema! Hope to see you soon again. Or better, on tv!
Thank you Tim. I sprinkle in some racquet videos here and there but 90% coaching on this channel 🙌
A lot of people don't understand how hard this sport is. Unfortunately some people who haven't even been on a court don't understand that.
Some people have no understanding of the game. Ema is an elite player but even elite players have to work at it just like the pros. Nothing comes easy in tennis or life.
Spent 2 full days at Toronto Masters. Idk what anyone says but i hold such high respect for all those players out there. They really bust there asses and have sacrificed immensely.
What great matches i have witnessed, was a huge privilege to be able to see some so close. Ie Sabalenka is a real sweetheart!!
what do you mean by sacrifice? They don't sacrifice anything. They don't play it to sacrifice. They do it to earn the place they want to be, whatever place you talkin about. Either money, status, ranking, etc.
Great instruction! Loved every minute of this training video.
Her strokes are so CLEAN
Love the show, I started coaching myself and now I watch you everyday while working from home. Thank you for the great knowledge!
That was fantastic & she did well to raise her level & proved shes good to be back into the ranks. Well done coach. Appreciate your style of coaching whilst talking to the player a lot whilst giving the student a break & then come back with high intensity. Great work.👍
Channelling the intensity of your dad’s drills I suspect 💪 fantastic video, elite player, elite coach. Thanks 🙏
My dad’s drills are more intense than mine 🤯
I really enjoyed hearing you discuss coaching with Emma regarding switching grips. That was a good format that let us in on how coaches think. Thanks!
That was a sweet workout! It is nice to see a pro level coaching session with full commentary too🎾
Love these drills! Keep going Ema! You look great out there!
When I watch Nick’s channel (subscribed!!!), I am reassured why UA-cam is so successful - how else would this huge amount of knowledge be available to me and anyone else interested and for free?!? I would like to believe that this is what UA-cam is invented for - for people like Nick who invested tens of thousands of hours to master the craft and to now share with the broad audience! Thank you Nick for every second of your videos. Majstore, duboki naklon, najozbiljnije, Javi se Ako budeš u Clt - moj si gost, ispećemo jagnje!
Puno hvala 🙌💯
Great drills, massive workout. Great job coach and Ema! 🔥 🎾
Thanks Emma! Good luck!
this ws great. hope this turns into a series
That is really inspiring. I wish you as much success as possible. Keep it up
Such a Great Video!! Footwork- Nothing but HARD WORK!!!!
This was entertaining and motivating. I am working with my daughter to prepare her for the upcoming season. Thanks again.
Love the drill session! She has great commitment towards the game. All the best! She’ll back like a rockstar soon ⭐️
Great great Drills !!! will be implementing this for sure..
She put in a real pro effort. That was cool. Form looked good when she bent down as you were instructing. Great footwork. Nice to see. Thanks.
Love the content! Keep up the amazing work :):
Great comments regarding the change of grip discussion. I spent 10 years playing with a Hawaiian grip until aged 21. When I restarted playing again a couple of years ago I have switched to western and removing the muscle memory of the angle of the racket face on contact has taken many many frustrating hours hitting forehands.
Keep going it’s worth the effort
UA-cam Tennis Tutorial GOAT. Hands down. Forget the haters.
Thanks for posting this video, my daughter has the exact problem. I do believe now there are certain natural gifts involved in playing tennis at higher level. The missing explosiveness in all her strokes especially at low ball situation is very telling. A naturally gifted player would maintain the explosiveness generated from ground no matter what situations they face. Wish Ema all the good luck. Appreciated this video tremendously.
Great training video. Congratulations
Brilliant workout.keep up the great work on the videos
Thank you, will do 🔥
What a coach!
Love a coach that grinds you so no-nonsense.
Super inspiring!
Quality content, thank you!
Good job as always coach!!
Thank you Lampros
Nick you are a great coach! Ema excellent work.
thank you for sharing this Nic
You go Ema! Love seeing some hard tennis training!
Love that last drill.
Good job, both of you! Cheers
Thank you Chris 🙌
This is great stuff. an inside look at real high-level training. I watch players practice a lot at tournaments but you know the coaches talk low on purpose so you cannot hear what they are saying. So I think this is super cool. Obviously after discussing her resume, Emma is an elite player. How far she goes depends on her work ethic. Im older than both of you and I still do the cone drill!
Interesting show, as usual.
Nik, have you discussed preparing to play an opponent you've never seen before? What can be learned in the warm up and the first few games of a match? When I played in tournaments I usually made a effort to observe players in my section (usually 4.0).
I played a big fellow with a big serve. First set I lost 6-4. I could return his heavy serve but I could not keep my returns low enough. He always came in and usually put away his first volley.
I had to change something. I moved close to the service line and quit swinging at his serve. I bunted back my returns short enough that he couldn't take them out of the air. I followed my returns to the net. Frequently he had to hit his first shot up to get it over the net. I won slightly more points volleying at the net than he did, winning 6-4. I enjoyed the match through the first two sets and wondered what he might do to win the 3rd set. What he did was walk away. He was disgusted by my play.
Nic thanks for your work I’m not one to read peoples posts as the relationship between there view and the reality just gives a negative perspective, however what I will say is that your my go to guy when I’m confused regarding different coaching ideas from coaches when I’m at my clubs sessions , so thanks for posting excellent work 👍
Great work ema. Keep going.
Great workout Ema, Nick has some tough drills!
Nice video, i like it!
Thank you Hans ✌️
It was very enjoying to watch the whole practice session and conversations. Thank you for your efforts. Emma, you are natural and in a very good shape. Please keep it up!
Good job Ema! Wish you the best of luck!
Her strokes look top class.
Last drills a great one. Will be using that to prepare for some upcoming matches. Bit like the Spanish X but more match realistic 💪🏻
Thanks! Amazing video, after hearing the story of the girl Ema was talking about I'm having the exact same issue trying to go from a western to a semi-western grip. As you mentioned in the video my forehand ended up having too much spin and low penetration. It would be nice if you could make a video showing your methodology for an easier transition.
Really good stuff
Lots of great training tips I can use for building up foot speed of my very enthusiastic 8 year old. Thanks!
That’s great 🙌🙌
This guy is a great coach
🙏
Emma is doing a great job👏
One more great video. When you react on short ball, your body is slightly turned to the forhend or backhand side. But very important is to use your arms, on the most natural way. I saw many players prepare racket too early, too much back to forhend or backhand, this move drastically limit their speed. Its fine if ball is close to them so they need one or two steps, but not okay if they need run with full speed.
Great points Filip 🔥
Enjoyed the drills. Fitness makes such a difference to speed and endurance but the rest is there
I love the motivation at the beginning and the idea that us tennis internet dorks watch legends play and then unfairly compare everyone to that unattainable level.
I've never seen someone look like three different tennis players all at once, she resembles a mix between Azarenka, Wozniacki and Muguruza. Great video, btw.
Puno pozdrava i sreće Emi. Ona je vrhunska teniserka. Odlična ideja za video seriju. Samo naprijed!
Best regards and luck to Ema. She is an elite player. Great idea for a video series.
Keep it coming!
Puno hvala 🙏
Me encantan vuestros vídeos. Ni caso a los trolles. No han tocado una raqueta en su vida. Ema tiene un tenis súper bonito. Saludos desde España!
Such a beneficial session. I'd say most of your viewers are players who once played at a higher level and are trying to recapture. I have never seen a lesson on this specific issue and how to accomplish. Thanks!
Most of my viewers are rec level
6:24 what did she say 😅
Raducanu and Radwanska almost fully squat (sit) on the court to hit those low balls. Needs lots of fitness for sure.
doesnt help raducanu a lot does it
I think Agneska Kerber is also doing it.
@@fryliver4953 i think you need to have a coach first for this trick to work
She did so much better with a larger step in. Thanks so much for the video its great to see. I think there os a big gap on what people think they look like when playing to what they actually look like. I use videos all the time so realise how bad i am lol. So many rec players think they look like fed but actually look like adam sandler on mr deeds, or that tennis coach from Seinfeld.
Hi Nic, I've seen "many" tennis technique videos from various coaches, but everything just fits with you. Of course, understandable and comprehensible. I would love to book a number of lessons with you, but the flight from Germany might be a bit too much =)
Great video guys! And to the morons who think Ema's slow( she's not!) Lets see how fast they are on camera🤣
Ema's foot speed and overall speed will go back to what it was with some hard training👍
Will be fun to see Ema's progress and how she gets on in tournament play.
Great video guys👍
Thank you Grant 🔥
Go Ema go! Mach work to do you have, but the force will be with you!
That last drill is awesome
Thank you for posting. I really like your videos. The only thing I would disagree on is the slice vs topspin when getting up to a short ball when you drop fed at the service line. Barely getting to a ball and putting topspin on the ball will made the ball sit up for opponent. A slice will not only give you a little time(if you’re using it as a approach), a slice or bunt will also stay low and cause the opponent to have to hit up on the ball making a volley a little easier. What do you think?
Her racquet drop at backhand side is phenomenal, better than Djokovich. At least, that's exactly the sort of drop I like. Good luck with your journey to tour, Ema!
Radwańska isn't coming back to the professional WTA circuit. She's only played a doubles match at Wimbledon this year because she was invited to the legends tournament or something like that.
Great video nick do you have any advice for my forehand I play with a western forehand do you think I should change it to a flatter grip iv been playing with it since I was 12 years old I'm 21 now ?
My legs were burning just watching 👀
Good job Ema. Not hard to see that you could get back there in no time.
Both of you are great and Ema is lovely. Wake up the fighting spirit!
The low balls do come sometimes from players that hit the ball without any topspin as the bounce is almost none. Great exercises. Some told me, fast feet, slow arms. Its all in the footwork.
How to warm up for intensity? (For the match, to avoid the "late start")
I'm not sure whose talking smack, but there's no way any troll could step in and even rally with ema. Good training vid!
Great stuff, Emma has game!
She does 🙌💯
Nic, I’m 74 years old.. play singles tennis at a 4.0 level. I go back to when I was taught to hold the racquet with a continental grip, period. Of course, I have evolved. I was using an Eastern forehand and a continental/ eastern for my one hander. About two years ago my instructor changed me to SW forehand grip. I can play with it now, but I was screwed up for a while. The rationale for the change was/ is so that I can hit out more on approach shots. With the Eastern I was hesitant to hit out…Question: Being mostly a flattish hitter, wouldn’t I be better advantaged to use an Eastern ? I think my biggest issue is my follow through… I tend to come across my body, and not over the shoulder….Maybe my finish bests suits an Eastern?And , why not change grips: Eastern in backcourt, SW on approach shots, etc.? Do players do this?Thanks, John
Btw: I really look forward to your videos….excellent teaching.
I would say you do whatever works for you, until it doesn't, then you figure out what needs to be changed.
Ema is fantastic. No question about it. Do you recommend that the ball clear the net a bit higher, or is her height above the net during these drills good?
Great video and top notch coaching! Link to coach Ema’s YT channel?
@tenniswithema on all platforms
Talking about muscle memory time needed how much time would I need to change from right handed to left handed due to wrist surgery. I am 63 and was at around a good 4.0 level. I have been playing lefty for about 16 months with regular 5 hour a week training but I am losing easily to players I used to beat very confidently.
Ema you did amazing, ignore those haters you got this, including everyone who got trolled
Nic, What string /tension is Ema using?BTW: I went from a continental to an Eastern, and, at 71 , to a SW forehand grip under the tutelage of a good pro. I was really screwed up for a while… 6-12 months before comfortable. My biggest problem is the follow through… still tend to come across and not over the shoulder…
This is a dammned good video❤ 👌🏼
Was watching the previous video and thinking the same thing . Her bending is a little extreme but it’s not so bad when moving side to side. It’s certainly inhibiting her moving forward to balls. It really does look extreme. She doesn’t stand straight and bend into position but stays in that position from the start !
Who cares about the couch coaches and trolls... this video is pure gold. I'm going to implement this in my daughter's training ASAP.
That’s great 🙌🙌
it's jealousy; that's why people make these negative comments. That being said, it's good to be motivation and some people can make some clever comments that make you laugh :) BTW, I know that trick Ema's doing... when you're tired, you ask coach a question to get him talking so you can get some rest :)
He looks at his watch at some point during the talking. He knows that trick, and later made her work that much harder.
😂😂💯💯
@@IamnotJohnFord ha ha, you're right :)
Go Emma! And don't pay any mind to those trolls. I'm sure if they were to do these drills, I wouldn't be able to hear their feet moving, because all I would hear is them huffing and puffing 😂
good vid.. perhaps you can develop some specific instruction or drills or cues on bending specifically. Just asking her to bend didnt seem to help her
Ema is TOP.
good job Ema.
I really like Ema's video's ...so it's again a pleasure to see you guys working together again.... it was a fun workout ...as any workout when they say " i feel good" means the tank didn't get emptied.....errrmmm i think i got that quote from one of the Rocky movies!! The hardest thing climbing that mountain again is remembering being stripped of everything and building it block by block like the 1st time .... It's going to be tough as those knees may not be as mobile as before but surely wish her the best in going toe-2-toe with the best. The mentality of coach mode needs to be ditched though .... the chat about the best grip for a student is great ...but if that session was meant to be getting Ema into Pro level then those coach thoughts get in the way of Ema progressing 100% focused on herself. Be well
It motivates me to watch you. Do you sometimes have muscular problems or Achilles tendon problems ?
Muscular yes Achilles never
18:00 I am in a similar situation to Ema's western grip student, although nowhere near her age and talent. I've been playing tennis from ages 10-18 3/week and developed an extreme western grip (Hawaiian grip as I see it called nowadays) as I falsely believed that top spin was dependent on how you hold a racquet. I probably plateau'd at a 4.0 level (highschool me would've claimed 4.5 or even 5.0 lool) before leaving to college and took an extended break from tennis. Now, 10 years later I am back to playing tennis weekly but my youthful arm and shoulder is no longer there. I am still able to play decently with the grip but I'm noticing being extra sore in my rear delts. Nothing debilitating but as I am entering my 30s and picking up other athletic hobbies, I am much more aware of the fragility of the human body lol
You mentioned you wouldn't attempt to change the student's grip and muscle memory if she were older like 15 as if she actually has a future in tennis, the attempt to change her form may be more detrimental in the long run of her career. However, if you received a student who played quite a bit as junior with the extreme western grip but now return to you as an adult with a gap in playing, would you attempt to fix the forehand? Or let them play with what they played with as a teenager? The couple times I've tried to recondition my grip just hitting against the wall had me running around to the other side for my ball one too many times for me continue down this path. But the ultimate goal is not to get ranked or receive an ATP point, but to be able to comfortably play the sport I fall deeper in love with everyday well into my 60s and 70s.
I would change a Hawaiian grip, it’s too extreme
I love her footwork, she is very acurate. Im really impresed by her level, she is really good. People is frustated that s why they talk bullshit.
