Interesting what you mentioned! I go to some tennis club in which old farts are trying to show off constantly without even be able to keep a 30 balls uninterrupted rally!
Those are the worst. Like, I'm trying to keep a rally going for as long as possible, but my hitting partner will just hit winners or hard-to-get balls. I don't know if they're doing it on purpose or not, but it's annoying nonetheless.
I wish i had hitting partners, where i live theres very little clubs, I'm fairly new and know only two players they're both pretty busy so i convince my friends to play to teach them and then enjoy anything i get. Be it as it may even i know how sucky it is to play with people like that... 😂
@Benjamin Lock Once I had a partner who'd do this all the time. He'd never give consistent balls and would make me run a lot. The worst part is he never wanted to play actual matches. Total mess
@@12kgpTennis they've announced they're holding the indian wells tournament in october. double bonus cuz palm springs won't be so ridiculously hot AND hopefully enough time for roger to make a comeback!
I mean yeah, the truth is that Schwartzman would’ve been a consistent top 10 player if he had a more typical stature of 6 feet. But he’s gotten very, very far at his height and it’s incredibly inspiring. It could also be argued that lots of players have physical limitations to overcome. Many great players have battled chronic injury, for example. Many players have smaller frames in other ways that they need to overcome via technique; I’m thinking of the really thin players on the tour in the modern age with small muscle structure. But the variation is what keeps the sport interesting. So yeah, Diego proves that one can reach the highest level tennis at 5’5, or whatever he is, and that counts for something. He’ll never be #1 in the world, but how many players of the thousands in the professional world do?
@@TomSmith-gw6fn I think that Schwartzman is a great defender. He may be a top ten player for a good amount of time, but I don't think he could be #1 because his weapons aren't big enough to hurt the top players consistently. Djokovic and Nadal have great defense and fearsome weapons.
he is so consistent. wasn’t like this only a few years ago. everything he does is so clear. an actual practice with intentions. no wonder he has improved so much.
great study. Impressive like Thiem demonstrates 3 different ball contact points on his backhand: 1. half volley 2. hit before the ball reaches top spot 3. hit shortly after the ball reaches top spot all that randomly with an incredible consistency. This is masterful.
Schwartzman is an amazing player considering his short stature, if he was 6ft+ I'd suggest he would be a regular top 10 player. Great video of Thiem and his magic backhand. At the start of the video Thiem's footwork is so light and balanced, reminds me of Federer in his prime. Barring injury I would expect Thiem to pose the main threat to Nadal on clay this year and maybe deny his 12th French Open. He hits with consistent power and has the mental toughness to win. Just my thoughts, I'm no tennis legend.
The one-handed backhand shots from Thiem, Nadal, Federer, etc. that amaze me are the slices when they seem truly pressed just to get to the ball. Delivered under pressure, it's a much more difficult shot than an attacking topspin drive, skimming the top of the net with no margin for error, and then landing deep in their opponent's backhand corner. I played tennis for years but never could master that shot.
Im so happy for Dom man.. he finally won a Major.. he deserves it. I like his personality.. very decent guy.. All the best to him this 2021... win the Aussie Open Dom.. you can do it..
Old school man! Great stuff! Nick Bollettieri's tennis school came up with Andrea Agassi double backhand! They butchered the good and stylish tennis. I'm glad that Federer, Dominic Thiem, Carreneo Busta, Stan W and some very few others they know and feel the advantage of single backhand!
Looking at his foot loading, seems like he has less wt transfer on his forehand than his backhand which might explain why he has to take such a gigantic backswing
The practice courts at Indian Wells are incredible, and many of those courts allow fans to watch the players up close. This video is taken from from my own perspective watching this. So it's basically what I see from the railing behind this particular practice court.

this is so satisfying to watch
Reza Uchiyamada 凌 it be more satisfying to hit like them
@Eman With my skills, that’s not happening so I think I’ll stick to watching this
Luke Yin 😂😂👍
This is the most relax Thiem hitting I have ever seen. Absolutely hypnotic.
Thiem’s approach to ball striking has improved substantially over the years. His development is fantastic
He has the best forehand on tour now
Ertugrul Körpinar that’s stretching it
@@commondirtbagz7130 Him or Nadal are solid contenders
Bud Kaiwi nadal definitely. Roger is always in contention when he’s on. Personally though I think thiems backhand is his strength.
@@commondirtbagz7130 2008 Federer ;( I miss those days
What a beautiful court !
Olivier Brn and the backdrop to.
Isaiah Gauthier I think that’s the main reason they are saying it’s nice, otherwise it’s just a good tennis court but not beautiful.
I show this to my club players begging them to understand how to practice with each other and not going for ridiculous angle winners 24-7🙄🙄🙄🙄
Will Hopson omg really.... why? it’s much harder to just keeping the ball going all that time than doing a stupid ass winner

Wow

Diego Schwartzman really inspired me everytime. He gave me confidence that height doesn't matter while playing good.
Nagu Hebbal agreed fully, you can achieve whatever in tennis if you put your mind to it mate%
It kinda does, betch. Sorry to be a downer, but all he shows is it's POSSIBLE, not it doesn't matter

You’re right
I am a tennis legend, and who knows if Schwartsman would even be a tennis player if he was 6 ft +.
How does height impact your tennis talent
HRY FA arm length and reach, power, serve speed, return ability. Having to move more to reach balls also makes shorter players fatigued faster
Joshua Rosenblatt how does it impact power and serve speed? Also fatigued faster barely
domi smoothness plus the view outside the court equals satisfaction level 101
Prime Thiem free hitting is just animalistic! And kudos to Peque for keeping up with such tremendous hitting!
The one handed back hand is arguably the most Beautiful shot tennis
Not arguments from me since it happens to be my best and most consistent/confident shot.
Those swings look both consistent and strong
This the most satisfying tennis videο I have ever seen.
This video is helping me in tennis in ways you can't imagine. It is very didactic, has excellent quality and features my favourite player
Thiem's backhand is something else...wow 💪
Thiem’s backhand is awesome to watch

That backhand is nearly perfect every swing. Thiem and Tsitsipas crack that one hander like they're angry at the ball.
Im so happy for Dom man.. he finally won a Major.. he deserves it. I like his personality.. very decent guy.. All the best to him this 2021... win the Aussie Open Dom.. you can do it..
for some reason it is super satisfying/calming watching pro players hit nice angle forehands
single handed backhand is the most beautiful gesture in tennis
Excellent rallies! We tennis players all know how amazing practice rallies they are doing!
Still the best practice video of Them on YT!
I love to watch these rallies, we can observe how these amazing pro try to keep these rallies consistent and keep them at same speed and angle. Nice!
I could watch this all day.
Great
awesome stuff! Your image quality is wonderful, keep the videos coming!
Indian Wells 2020 isn't that far away - let me know what players you would like to see video of

For those who never tried one-handed backhand in tennis you don't know how satisfying this is!
Thiem just one of the most beautiful backhand in the world, Technic, Precision, Power 👍
Ah, those happier times. Just watched Thiem play his final USO match. Adios DOMI ! 😥
so beautiful view and atmosphere! Thanks for video!
How relaxing this video is!
this vid hits different now... both announced retirements... Sadge
Who's here after Diego won against Thiem after RG?
It is unbelievable that a player as short as Schwartzman is a top 10 player
I exactly agree with u
Who's here after Thiem won 2019 BNP Paribas Pam Springs?
No I’m here before
@@ecaIos I'm here after he defeated Rafa and won Barcelona.
just call it Indian Wells ffs
When they hit the ball my minds get more relaxed
That one handed backhand is so satisfying to watch
Great upload man, really enjoyed it
Öne-Handed backhand like a hypnosis !

@@fernandog.aguirre2791 Carreno Busta has a two-handed backhand, doesn't he?
0:55 「悪い」
Dominic thiem has boots from 2011 love him
Dominic's been stockpiling ;)
I remember as i was a little toddler i watched thiem play on my local tennis court but he played double backhand back then wow he really changed.
DerAlexLP 2 bresnik
Play this in 0.25 and tell young adepts to watch it 20 times at least. Thiem's one hand backhand is 100% perfect.
He has so much control on that backhand, that it's unbelievable...
Thiem's backhand is a thing of beauty!
The background looks as if they played on a planet in another galaxy !! 😍😍
Very high quality rallies from both players
Love his backhand 😍
Thiem is my favorite 'next gen' player...
The location looks sick!
this scenery is so beautiful wtf
Thiem’s nickname should be ‘the machine’.
He’s got a brutal playing style.
such a smooth action Thiem has
One hander's......we truly blessed!!!
Does it pass to you that the sound of hiking the ball Is relaxing
Can we just admire the view for a second tho.. cuz wow
This heals my eyes
Back when the Dominator actually meant something
That "THWOOM" sound after the shots. Wow.
10 minutes of pure satisfaction
Is he really using the old barricade? classic! 👌
Thiem has the best one handed backhand in the world right now.
Thiem is just amazing - if he can just bag that first grand slam to prove it
jochooi i have news, my friend :)
Hall of Fame in the background. Great.
We miss you Domi🙁💔❤️❤️
Clean hitting from Thiem , can see why he went all the way there last year
It's interesting to see that Thiem is wearing shoes from 2011 in this video!
barricades?! i miss those if so...
Yessir! Just went through the comments to see if anyone else saw it. B6
I miss dominic man , This f***king wrist injury so bad.
I like this guys backhand
Can you tell what court is this? Concrete, artificial grass, rubber surface? Look so great.
Indian Wells is hard court (and on the slower side for hard courts)
jesus. that power and spin
Are there someone who knows the shoes which Tiem wore?? It looks great but I can not find this model... help me guys
They are old Barricade 6. They've been discontinued for a long time now.
@@12kgpTennis Thank you!
For those who play tennis, the greatest feeling is ripping one on the line
These guys are easily 5.0 or 5.5 level. Nice ground strokes by both 👍🏼
Makes it look so easy...
What a great scenery😍
I love his backhand. So fluent!
What grip does he use for one hander? Anyone know?
I think it's eastern, like most of the one back hander players, the same grip you have to use when doing a kick serve.
What grip is theme using. Semi western or full
I"m tryin to figure that out too.
Semi western
That backhand is like poetry.
does thiem not changing grips for bh and fh???
Thiem is so explosive!
probably the backhand with the most spin on tour
what shoes is he wearing?
old/discontinued Adidas Barricade 6
If im not mistaken, thiem is wearing adidas barricade 6 right?
Afif Zakwan yeah i was wondering too! Greatest barricade imho
@@rizzlemanizzle I loved Barricade 2 and V.
ハチャノフさんは、はっちゃけてる所が大好きで今注目してる選手です！
Looking at his foot loading, seems like he has less wt transfer on his forehand than his backhand which might explain why he has to take such a gigantic backswing

@@12kgpTennis Good to know, thanks for the reply. But if you had to guess, haw tall (from the court) you think the camera was when filming this?
Would be a total guess on my part. Maybe 10 feet?
Amazing barricade
Where is this beautiful place?
Indian Wells, California
Sadly, the only two shots that exist in tennis now... But he is bloody good at them
Perfect

Where did he get those shoes from!!??
