Ever heard of Lars Christensen ..? Patrick Mouratoglou uses already established players for his own media celebrity promotion and pretends their success is due to 10 minutes with him. PM is a wind-bag - a talker - he has never played professional tennis in his life. He knows no more than an average park player - a pretend coach seeking publicity through Serena Williams success. PM's businessman Father bankrolled the Mouratoglou Tennis academy - PM used Serena Williams when she was down in her life and started an affair with her resulting in his first wife divorcing him - he has kids from two marriages.
Love these videos. The way things are explained and these small exersises with moving back from the net. That’s something a recreational player like me also can use. Best coaching video’s ever!!!
That tip about extending the arm with the racquet face facing inside out is a really useful tip that I haven't seen in the thousands of serve videos on youtube. I noticed that my racquet does that when I'm serving well in a session but never knew it was the right motion.
It is not always the right motion. That inside out is the right motion when serving wide from the Ad. You must contact the left side of the ball in order to make it go wide. That is not the right motion when serving down the T from the Ad.
you must be joking . PM has done nothing but fooling his audience . he already had one of the best pronations on the circuit but if 95 percent of your audience has no idea about tennis then you can tell them what ever you want
Either Rune and his father (?) were fools to pay PM to teach him nothing. Or they teamed up to fool 95% of us for a few clicks. You and Serena are smart and see right through his tricks.
@@bmtspain6839 PM is only a talker - a showman like Bolletieri and he fools those with little tennis experience and knowledge - he's a good example of a bad coach.
its going this way and it should go that way ( 0.54 ), are you kidding me , knowing your website you should know better. stop the frame and youll see its not possible to get more pronation and ISR . hes ansewring directly after the hit so its imposible to see what happend ( im coaching 40 years so i have an idea of that )
There is a component of body building as well as stretching so it is not just pure skill development. The arm need to be rested properly in between each training session of new movement.
I just played a tennis tournament after taking 15+ years off & i forgot my serve motion & picked up the wrong motion & started bending/snapping the wrist downward on spin serves & now my wrist hurts... :( i need to relearn my serve again :( :( :( Thank you for this video
Great advice with the pronation. I noticed watching his ball toss it looks like it goes to his left side which is for a kick serve. Is it not better to throw more to the right?
if they would show it in slow motion you should see that patrick wasnt right in the beginning when he said you go that way but should go that way :) and the guy did exactly that :) the guy has more pronation and internal shoulder rotation then most proplayers. Dont get fooled by this guy its all advertising
My take: To get that kind of pronation, one engages the muscles of the shoulder that internally rotate the shoulder and arm. These muscles are larger and therefore more powerful than just the arm. That, along with a relaxed wrist, creates great racket head speed, driving the ball faster. Flat serves hit the back fence off the first bounce. A huge amount of practice (I need even more) helped me get that kind of power. Now if the rest of my tennis could improve... 🤔
@@hi7hi7hi7hi7hi7 I don’t find it natural either, but I’m confident that as I get my repetitions in, it’ll become second nature. I think my nervous system will want to forget the newer info and revert to older habits-a good reason for me to schedule monthly practice drills such as detailed in Patrick’s video. Cheers!
It might sound strange but I like it when people grunt because it you can hear their release of energy - grunting naturally of course, not screaming intentionally.
For slice serve pronation, I'm a bit confused, I thought we also are supposed to pronate outward and to the right, if we carve the ball, we can get slice, but it wont be as solid and powerful, but then I try pronate, then I wont much slice, so it has been a dilemma for me.
You must not pronate on slice at all. So I don't know if I would call it supination or Neutral but it's definitely not pronation. You can see Patrick explaining that he as a a natural slice serve and they are working on the opposite in this video...
@@bmtspain6839 agreed. Patrick's illustration of a slice looks like what club hacks do to hit slice. Watch Raonic hit a slice in slow motion. He pronates. Pat has no clue about the actual biomechanics. Swing path and angle of head at contact determine spin.
Yeah if you slice the way he "demonstrated" you'll have no velocity on the slice. Instead, just throw the racket the same way as on any other serve, allowing your shoulder to rotate and your wrist to snap, but throw it on a different vector through the ball - less back to front, and more out to in. That way, you'll make thinner contact with the ball, transposing more of your racket velocity into spin, rather than power. You can resist a little of the pronation if you want, but not all of it. Like other commenters have pointed out, watch any great slice server (roddick, raonic, kyrgios, fed) hit a slice serve, and you'll see a very similar release action at the top as on their flat serve, not the hacky chop that he's demonstrating here. He might be exaggerating in his demonstration, but the truth is, when you work with athletes this talented, what you say doesn't matter nearly as much, because they figure out what feels right pretty quickly.
@@smashu2100% incorrect…the biggest problem for anyone believing this is slow motion video…slice, flat or kick serves are all quite similar except for slightly different angle and path at contact…pronation absolutely happens in all…this is not my opinion, it’s just facts that no one can dispute what can be proven in videos🤷♂️
he did , thats why his serve was good before patrick said any word :):) he didnt correct actually anything because it was already there!! his racket didnt go in the wrong direction , he had a lot of pronation and ISR but most of his viewers have no idea about tennis :):) its all advertising
@@reginstravels so let me explain : rune startrs to serve 3 times on the deuce side and 1 on the ad side and then PM asks show me show me and rune serves again at 40sec in the video on which PM says that he was going to the inside and he should go to the outside. thats a big joke right here; stop the video at contact and you will see one of THE BEST PRONATIONS in profesional tennis; but PM has NO FUCKING IDEA about what happend. so i advice you to stop the video and check the position just after contact and let me know what you see.
You dont consciously ‘pronate’. Pronate outward that is....that is solely a biproduct of the acceleration and going on edge. Some player supinate some pronate.
Totally agree. The initial serving was top notch. The guy leads on edge and pronates into contact - what else can you do? Then how the racket continues, with continued pronation or back to a more supplinated finish, is totally irrelevant.
from the first serve he did he played perfect, this is only for advertising , he has to say something but the guy did exactly the pronation and internal shoulder rotation on every serve , it was not nesecarry to the comment he goes in the wrong way because he didnt :):)
OK, again, let's let this SINK IN : Rune, a top 90 ΑΤP Tour player, is being taught serve pronation (the BASICS of serve) from a guy who has never competed professionally in tennis. Whatever. I mean, look at 3:50 , he's trying to demonstrate and throws the ball to the SIDE of the court...😆 This is just a promotional video for the academy, Rune trains there with his TRUE coach....
Absolutely; PM is not a technical coach. There are so many things he coaches that are wrong. E.g., as if the follow through with the Andy Murray style left arm had anything to do with a serve. And, of course, all professionals, pull the non-dominant arm into the chest to stop the upper body rotation and to release the racquet into the strike.
He is being taught to use prontation to hit the T and wide with the same action almost up to contact, that's not just basic serve pronation. Look at his other video's teaching lesser/younger players and he teaches hit say T (depends on side) with a flat pronated serve, hit the wide the same action but slice it. No slicing here, this is more advanced. Rune, and his coach clearly get it, the fact that you don't suggests the video is not for you.
again another joke video :):) at 0.54 he says you go that way but you should go that way :):) the guy just made the perfect pronation and internal shoulder rotation !!!! hes lucky that most viewers have no idea about tennis.he has more pronation then most professionals :)
@@spirothegamer i have never heard of him so i didnt know. and his pronation is very good if he wants to go further he will dislocate his shoulder :):)

Patrick is great, love his professionality.
First time I see this wicked movement explained so that 'casuals' can actually understand and have a way to practice it! thanks Patrick!
"Anything is possible!" That's big confidence booster words from Mouratoglou!
U r genius Patrick. U r felt always comfortable, logical yet completer ❤
That tip about extending the arm with the racquet face facing inside out is a really useful tip that I haven't seen in the thousands of serve videos on youtube. I noticed that my racquet does that when I'm serving well in a session but never knew it was the right motion.
It also helps to keep the ball low and short to keep it within the service box - if you find your serves going out too far.
How do u compensate for short height with this kind of motion?
It is not always the right motion. That inside out is the right motion when serving wide from the Ad. You must contact the left side of the ball in order to make it go wide. That is not the right motion when serving down the T from the Ad.
I feel slice serve pronation is more difficult, if we just carve the ball, then the slice is weak.
@@zhanmike3406 exactly. You still need to pronate just like flat serve. It just a few degrees difference.
Thanks, getting better slowly but surely from your tips.
I've actually tried this and it's crazy the kind of action I can get on the ball going out wide on the ad side now. Thanks Patrick for this lesson!
Nice to see even some pros struggle with this. I have a similar problem where I slice most of my serves. Hoping this lesson well help my serve.
Took my serve to a whole new level of power and consistency. Thank you so much!!!

pronation ends with full arm extension, got it
so good
Thanks tip serve
That's 5k well spent for rune
Great advice with the pronation. I noticed watching his ball toss it looks like it goes to his left side which is for a kick serve. Is it not better to throw more to the right?
i tend to do the same and would love to know if its a bad habbit
@@epicfaaail its not been a habit for me but when the ball goes far to the left its because i have thrown it slightly late
I dont think so, since he is pronating to the right he probably needs to toss the other way to ensure the ball goes in
I noticed that too, towards the end of the video I saw the toss move slightly more to the right which definitely helped with the full extension
If it works for you, meaning serving high % first serves in and getting 100mph or more, doesn’t really matter
I wish they would show this in slow motion to actually see the arm action
if they would show it in slow motion you should see that patrick wasnt right in the beginning when he said you go that way but should go that way :) and the guy did exactly that :) the guy has more pronation and internal shoulder rotation then most proplayers.

At 18 he was serving at 120mph!!
130
ofcourse he did ; he already had that pronation; PM is just using rune as an advertising
I rarely agree with Pat, but this one is good. Same method I use to help people understand what it feels like to pronate.
can you please post a pronation on slice serve?
And with slow motion too. PM has the best instruction.
