Imagine telling this to Stephan Edberg or John McEnroe. They'd be like what are you talking about? Its Serve, volley and you are done! Whats with this 4-6-8 shots?
Love how clear and practical your instructions are, very easy to follow. We’ve created an app that help athletes sharpen their mental game with guided visualizations and box breathing exercises, tennis players seem to love it so far. Big fan of your content and it could be cool to explore a collab. Mind if I send you an email?
After you serve you'd shift to your right instead of your left to set up more forehands. With the serve and volley in the ad court, you'd theoretically do more damage with your lefty serve to their backhand, but you'd probably end up hitting more backhand first volleys. The drop shot strategy Alcaraz uses wouldn't work because you're forehand to backhand, but that rally is a huge advantage for you as a lefty so who cares lol.
I’m a southpaw and I use strategy 2 a lot; a good flat/kick serve out wide, and I just sit and wait to pounce because they usually give me a forehand, don’t even have to run around it. If they return to your backhand, then you’re already in the right court position to cover it.
I think this is the last time I click on one of these bs videos. Tennis is about percentages but this stuff is way to rigid and therefore exploitable in return by an opponent, and a good opponent puts on pressure, not allowing much if any of these shenanigans to really take hold. Being unpredictable to your opponent is the most important. For example, People who are like, "oh your back hand is a bit week so I'm just gonna hit there" are going to get a reckoning against a good player, who will abuse positioning in kind, mitigating the backhand disadvantage etc, whereas if it's 50/50 those backhand disadvantages will show up under pressure and nothing can be done about it during the game.
No it’s not about being unpredictable at all. It’s about knowing your game and then playing a pattern that works best for your strengths and weaknesses
Why are there no video's about the better backhand. It's my weapon and because of the majority of players have better forehands you only see those video's.

how do these strategies change if you are left handed?

Where is the data from 2023?

Good on you! You can probably just mirror the strategies?
