Amazing footage as always Liam. So strange that I've been thinking of Jannik's forehands and the power he makes from them and next thing I know you have the video of it a few days after. Awesome! Cheers! M
I've watched these types of videos for years now, and I feel that you can learn a lot from slowing down the footage and analyzing the mechanics of a forehand or backhand. However, I've just come to realize that you always have to be looking at the most up to date footage simply because players are constantly making adjustments as they progress through their tennis careers. Jannik has recently improved his forehand (lag time, timing, drive) and it only happened in the last month. If you look for Novak's footage from 2015 it will be amazing, but his footage from 2023 is definitely better. I realize that this may seem obvious to most, but some people do not realize how much players improve their mechanics from one years to another. Just look at Federer's footage from 2008 and then look at footage from 2012 (4 years time) it may seem like it's a short amount of time but his improvements and adjustments are radically different and very noticeable.
Yes this. I am amazed how the pros constantly improve ther technique. Rafas serve especially, he has gained more effortless power by loosening his wrist in the past few years and it looks so much more natural now instead of muscling the takeback into the trophy position and then pushing towards contact which you can see in his 2017 match against Federer at the AO. And 2008 Federer forehand was much more loooy and has turned into a more wristy and snappy forrhand delendant on the timint of the lag. It's up to personal ooinion which one is better but I prefer his older forehand for its reliability but it's amazing how he was able to have good timing with his newest forehand technique.
@@LiamApilado I agree, the new forehand is extremely hard to time if you want to generate enough power and topspin at the tour level. I think it was necessary to compete with the incoming generations, and he mastered it. These small improvements have huge results.
I think people are talking too much about biomechanics,if you check Federer,Djoković,sinner and Medvedev forhned,and even Tomic ,you will see that they have different grips and different techniques but they all have the best feeling/touch. If the player doesn't have good feeling he can learn beautiful technique but he will always miss if the ball doesn't in ideal condition. They biggest advantage of top players is they can adapt their technique to any conditions. Wind,fast balls,fast,slow surface...
That is a great question. Sinner waits in his forehand grip (semi-western). That is him doing the most to anticipate a forehand or run around a backhand and dictate the rally/point with his forehand. This can be seen in my other video here: ua-cam.com/video/xW-V5PSdM8Y/v-deo.html if you slow the video down to 0.5x or slower. When he sees he is getting a backhand he will change his grip with both hands.

Love the technique on this guy.
Great video, you learn so much by watching him in slow motion! Keep making this videos please!
🎾 Love you Court level tennis 🎾 ❤️❤️ keep posting more...
It's so awesome you've got so much court level footage of Sinner, he's my second favorite player and I try to model my game of off him.
I am a fan of Sinner as well. Would you like to share who is your favorite?
@@jlan6723 Djokovic!
@@thetruth65756 We are on the same boat then. Nole is the best.
Great player to look up to! Also, he has a similar game/groundstrokes to Djokovic.
I love your channel and the 60 FPS are such a great tool for analyzing the movements in Slo Mo! Thank you so much!
My pleasure!
Sinner footwork is marvelous
Thanks for all your videos!
Keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Such early preparation, and he starts the swing even before the ball bounces.
Thank You
Sinner will go far in the AO 2023 this year. Quarter finals at least, I’m calling it
Unfortunately no.
Final
Back to see his technique while he is no.1 in ATP ranking now. June 2024.
The video is almost perfect except not able to see the moment the ball bouncing from the ground :))
His backhand has changed from this…he has made it more compact.. is this from a year ago?
no doubt you’ll be at the practice courts for the upcoming ao?
No doubt indeed. Already have great stuff
@@LiamApilado i’m actually here as well lol, been here since 11am
@@livelovelucas ah nice, I've just left
During the rally, in his stance position, does he hold a continental grip or semi western grip (assuming that's his forehand grip)?

which grip does he use?
looks like western
I wanted to adjust the playback speed at first, only to realize it was on normal...
geez outside and people with face diapers
