❤ I love your teaching methods and learn so much just hearing your explanations behind why certain things are important and what to focus on! Man I wish you lived within an hour of me. I’m longing to find someone for long term consistent purposeful lessons. Teaching pros at clubs seem to have a cookie cutter routine for all of their adult private lessons where you go through every stroke for a few minutes each with superficial recommendations before moving to another stroke and then finishing with a few serves and then another client jumps right on after you before there is time to come up with a practice plan before the next lesson. I can do that with a ball machine. I think it’s just the business model at clubs to give you a few tips on each stroke because most clients just take a lesson here or there when their game is falling apart, but you can’t really improve that way. It takes consistent training on one aspect over time and repetition to truly improve. What’s the best way to find a teaching pro that will train you more like a junior where they see it as a longer term process than the same “lesson” over and over? My sons teacher is fantastic with long term concepts, like you, but the club restricts him to juniors only, and the “adult pros” seem like they are almost trained to stay superficial and just have you hit a lot of balls for an hour. I’m almost certain that finding someone who uses public courts would have this mindset more than a pro at my club but I don’t know how to find them.
Exceptional lesson from a coach who has great insight into his student’s game, knows what is needed to develop him to the next level, and the ability to articulate the lessons tactfully and honestly.
That was amazing. When Felipe increased the intensity of his footwork he improved a lot. Very educational. Thanks guys
💯
16:25 we were not ready for the old man with the intensity. The calculated aggression + flawless footwork here were next level 👌
Great as usual!You cannot miss the chance to argue with the recent "clash of sex" 😉
these longer videos of full lessons are incredible, keep it up coach!
💯
Been waiting for this one to drop for days in a row. I'm addicted to this series now. I hope it has 999 episodes. It is my evening enjoyment!
🙏 zwölf
earn the right to be agressive. That is a very important sentence. 👍👍
💯
Great series of lessons!
Just like the one on the kick serve this one is particularly insightful.
In a way it is similar to what Sinner worked on in the last 3 years or so.
When Federer first saw Sinner on court at the Piatti center around 2017 or 2018 he said that's not how Sinner could play on tour.
Despite the thin frame he had as a 16 or 17 year old he was already dangerous on both forehand and backhand, but he was "constantly" playing too close to his peak power. And in those years on tour he was loosing many matches on futures and challenger level, only in the spring of 2019 the level started to be more consistent even in the upper ranges, and he blasted everyone off the court at the indoor challenger of Bergamo at the beginning of the year, and the two futures thereafter (saw some of those matches live and the sound and speed was impressive, specially compared to the rest of the field).
The rest of the year at ATP tour level that didn't work for more than a couple of matches in a row.
Only in the fall of 2019 (again indoor, which suits him more) Sinner started to win more, and at the Next-Gen 2019 he blasted opponents off the court again (saw him live again there from the first couple of rows), but he played vast stretches of the match close to his max, particularly in the final.
Then 2020 and particularly 2021 and 2022 he started to play prevalently more like around 80% of his max, and learning to win matches like that as well. Obviously a lot of other stuff was happing as well, such as work on serve, patterns, transition to the net, net game, smash etc.
Finally in 2023 gradually all things started to click, and particularly the improved 1st serve percentage in the second half of the year made a big difference, along with going back to the foot-up to pin-point stance serve after Wimbledon (although he moves his foot up more to a narrow platform stance than to a real pin-point stance).
It's now rare that Sinner plays much above 80% of power, sometimes he does it in the first set, like against Rune where he won all 3 opening sets against Rune something like 6:2, though it's more extremely high intensity right from the start, rather than going to 95% power. The first set of the first meeting against Medvedev was also a similar thing but there he really punished the ball, and he beat Medvedev 6:1 int the first set, but then that does not work for the whole match.
Now only occasionally Sinner blasts backhands and forehands (such as the one down the line against Medvedev in Vienna) like he used to do more often in 2019.
Kind of the opposite is Camila Giorgi, she basically goes almost full blast from the first point to the last (even if things are a bit less extreme since about 2 years), but there are other issues there too.
The old man witn an intensity ❤
Great lesson
Everything in tennis is related to the movement and happy feet 😂
This is a great video. Translating a shot learned in lessons and practiced in rallies to matches is very hard. Would love video like this. Hopefully more lessons on making more of our shots "intuitive".
💯
great intensity Nick. Wow!
What a session, for both, student and coach 💪
This is fantastic stuff, listening to this content and knowing it is on UA-cam is even more unbelievable. Bravo.
Vai ! 🇧🇷🇧🇷
This video made me want to become a new subscriber. Such a valuable video for a player looking to improve their forehand. Thank you!
🙏
okay I can’t help but noticed that your Penn ball can’s ring were ripped off without cracking it open, and you froze there for a sec 14:50 😂 did you end up opening it?
I did 😭
I always try to end hit sessions hitting about 10% harder than I can control so that I get a little better at controlling those shots just outside my comfort range.
Vai! ("Go!" In portuguese) 😅😂😂 awesome content!
💪
Nick, always great insight in this lessons. Can't stop to say thank you. Cheers from Argentina. Here the ball is also a she. Is "La Pelota"
Haha love it 🎾
More thanks!
Great lesson!!!
🙏
Love love love this lesson!!! This is so inspiring and informative! Thank you Coach! 🙂
🙏
Awesome lesson… One thing that helps me as a player control power is have a target in my mind. Target the service line. This naturally helps me put more shape on the ball, control, and with less power. Sometimes messing with swing speed will cause other issues I’ve found, but when I have a target in the middle of the court in my mind, my body knows what to do. Then eventually can change the target to be more aggressive.
Very helpful advice Nick! I am still playing all or nothing. I realised that having nuanced shots while operating at high intensity is so difficult but so important.
💯
Great lesson Nick! 😀😀
Thank you Hans
Awesome true 🎾 coaching and learning. Great coach and student. 👍👍
🙏
good job guys. love this video😍
Thank you Milan
You guys make an awesome team. Excellent in all aspects. Student and Coach 100% committed. Felipe good luck with your journey. You have the best coach and you’re putting in the effort. Great to watch, makes we want to practice. Merry Christmas Nik and Felipe.
🙏 Merry Christmas
Love it
🙏
So many GEMS in this discourse. You really have to be a keen student of tennis to understand and implement those GEMS Nick was imparting in this Masterclass here! Intensity, mentality, etc, etc, bravo maestro!
🙏
Good job guys
Ur mom did a good job last night 😉
Nic is such a badass!
Wise lessons Nick. If you want to go too fast and start hitting too hard, you do not build confidence because you will make too many mistakes. It can ruin your motivation and fun. Shot selection and shot power is so important.
💯
Dont blast the ball. Hit topspin at 80% then hit hard when you feel right. Try to be consistent first before blasting it. If you are out of position, hit 60% high-deep
Good lesson Nik
Thank you
Conor’s likened tennis to boxing at 90ft but the difference is you have to float like a bee and sting like a butterfly.
Hi Nick, great video, footwork is what it lacks the most on rec lvl. However I have 2 questions.
1.I am usually an all around player, that is not really aggresive from baseline, rather more aggresive when I come to the net, but I feel like I should also increase the power from baseline, or should I focus on other things?
2.I'm playing on clay, so the issue is lower, but everytime I'm playing with harder balls for hard court (hear tour as ex), I find it really difficult to produce topspin, which affects my game a lot, any advice on what should I do extra for hard balls?
I guess I have a tendency to play low and flat. I have put 80g of lead tape to my Pro Staff 97. That will definitely add power.
Nick where are you located? Do you do private lessons?
I like Filippe, so good guy! Keep it up! I am 4, If you come to NYC lets hit a little!
Nice one, as always!! BTW, is Felipe Brazilian? His ascent sounds like a Brazilian guy!!
Yes he’s from Brazil
@@IntuitiveTennis Ow nice man!! I'll plan to have lessons with you soon, hopefully! , I live in Montreal Canada.
"You have to train the way you're going to play in a match." I'm going to print this, frame it, and hang it where I can see it as I head out the door to hit the courts. Inspirational words that definitely resonate with me.
💯
16:52 no way 🤣🤣🤣
great series. need Nick to help me with my game. can you come to location :-).
As I always said... "speed is nothing without control" . If you spread too much into nowhere, speed is useless. Speed and control at highest level was Del Potro. Speed without that level of control was Basilashvili. On his best day, he could shout away everybody, but too less control over it... the reason why he was "only highest ATP 21... And Felipe is still playing much too much with his bizeps, too less hip & legs... perhaps his muscel-memories are too strong...
dear coach, you were late in preparation and setting on your forehand most of the time. the ball was not coming fast, so got away with it, but against a high speed balls, you would be screwed. better on the backhand side. the advise you gave is a sound one - control the ball first before you blast it. that is nothing new, but for many RP it is hard to do, because they want to feel like they can crush the ball just like the pros. well, first of all they can't and second it makes their game unstable - more UE then the winners by far. There might be a part of a training session though, where the coach/partner says - let's go for it! let's swing as fast as you can. But not in the matches.
I loved the drill. must try it myself.
Sounds like you are hitting with a frying pan 🤣🤣
14:50 You're welcome.
This guy Felipe has same forehand problem I had. Main problem is the grip, he must change it to eastern. His forehand is thin because of thin contact point he has. He cant crush the ball with semiwestern grip. I solved my forehand with eastern grip. That is the main problem Felipe has as well. He cant put his body into the shot because of that thin contact point, the heart of the forehand is weak because of wrong grip. Try my advice, please.
this guy loves to groan
