In this tennis lesson, I help my student Shamir with his return of serve. Shamir is a 4.5 NTRP level recreational player and has trouble with his return of serve consistency, reaction time, and placement. Apply the corrections demonstrated in this lesson and you might see improvements in your return just like Shamir did.

Why we return from close to the doubles alley 👉 ua-cam.com/video/wja8bgYzX0U/v-deo.html
Nicola, why do you not have him practice his slice return at all? or you just don't show it on video? I mean honestly, sometimes you have to right? back "in the day" my hitting partner and I would play serve return games where one player has to serve and the other return until the score is 25, win by two; our assumption was the server should always win and if not then he really needs to pick up his serve game. Good exercise or not?
oh man, my buddy had an excellent return and I can remember serving over 10 deuces some games which was brutal but really prepare you for those hard games where you feel like you opponent just won't "die," because he keeps winning the add point.
Can't wait to apply this to my game in Mario Tennis Aces
😂
Lololol
😅
🤣🤣🤣
Great video. I like how Shamir wasn't afraid to ask the "obvious" questions, as in a lot of lesson videos the student is a mute. I've been watching your videos for a few weeks, and it's crazy how I'm actually seeing minor improvement to my technique without doing the lesson in person.
I also really appreciated Shamir's questions. A question and answer format tends to be more engaging, especially when the questions appear to be genuine, nand not just rhetorical questions. Seeing Shamir's mistakes was also useful - we can see what to look out for. Sometimes the reactions to the questions sounded a tad harsh, like "obviously!", but Shamir seemed fairly thick-skinned so it was OK!
Shamir is a quick learner and a good student.
You can tell Shamir is a science student. He looks at everything like an engineer.
i thought he was a math student based on his questions
I love Shamir and his questions. You can tell he is processing everything and truly internalizing it.
Shamir is a great student of the game. I respect that!
Shamir is everyone of us. Great choice for video content with a student.
The return of serve is the most underrated shot in the sport IMHO. Good for Shamir working on it. Great lesson coach!
I'm just 3 weeks from the first time i picked up a tennis racket. This channel has quickly become my favorite. Shamir asks great questions and the instructor has a great way of making his answers very easily understood with great explanations! Thank you!!
Great to hear!
You give the absolute best lessons on youtube!
This is true

'A quarter take back and finish the return with more spin'.....the best return of serves lesson ever! Thanks Nick!
I'm gonna have to start using these tips because I'm a 4.0 and still tend to return from right at the baseline. I played all through middle and high school, but never received much formal instruction. It's cool how this video feels like I'm getting in-depth coaching compared to other videos I've seen.
11:43 "obviously" lmaoo love seeing some joking around and personality in these tennis lessons
i dunno if that was a joke..
yeah i laughed when he said that
Hahaha that killed me. The way Shamir was like “oh yeah idk why I asked that” 😂
I really appreciate the biomechanics and physics he uses to explain good technique. This makes a lot of sense to me , so thank you for that application coach.
There are no stupid questions. Err um actually.
Damn those kick serves are crazy wonky, I've never faced anyone with those types of serves. Looks crazy difficult to return.
power shots
One of the great things you do as a coach, Nick, is teaching your students how to analyze what their problem is in a particular situation and what the remedy for this is. A good example is around 13 min in your video. Practically none of the many coaches I've had over the years do this despite the fact that it is a critically important skill.
Thank you George 🙏
What a great lesson Nik. I'm really enjoying these videos. Some great advice, especially to watch the ball. I learnt something today about the kick serve return. I appreciate having Shamir be candid and ask questions along the way. Can't wait for the next video...
I need to move into that neighborhood...The courts are always free😀
Right?! Over here in Dallas they stay full
One thing that I immediately noticed was the fantastic quality of Nick's kick serve. He has an effortless motion that produces a great deal of action and height. This makes me want to practice my serve even more. Oh yeah, the return advice was great also.
Good lesson : It’s exactly what I needed. “... Don’t step towards the ball if it’s coming at you fast with pace ... cuts down on time ... take a lateral step .....”. Exactly!! 😆. Shorten everything. “Judge the ball after it has been struck”. “.... look at the ball!..,”. I’m 4.5 I can handle most serves thrown at me. But 5.0 and above is very difficult and challenging! 😆. The reference to Wawrinka was informative. I never knew why he bounces like that. I don’t get or understand the split step technique. I basically just sway subtly from side to side on the balls of my feet when returning a serve. Good advice as usual Niko. Thank you.
Great return-of-serves lesson! Your instructions are tailored, relevant and applicable. Love it!
Another great lesson. One of my absolute favorite youtubers. Also love teachers that are direct and not overly cushioning the feedback..... 11.44.... :)
Thanks for your useful lessons. I'm a recreational player and find your videos very simple and as your title suggests - intuitive . Most importantly, it is easy to understand and connect with what I am doing currently . Much appreciated
Cordial thanks, this lesson answered all of my questions on returning serves. Love your channel.
Thank you. So insightful, Nick. I'm amazed how it takes watching this to realize why I've framed or whiffed so many fast serves. Can't wait to practice these tips.
Nikola must have been having so much fun in the first 20 secs of this video! 😂
Love the way lessons are based on feeling and seeing what happens
I want to congratulate for your channel.
You are an incredible teacher: clear and effective.
You go so deep in tennis but you always remain focus on the prospective of your student.
Every word you say has a precise meaning and it's pounded wisely.
Great job
Thank you Michele
Absolutely wonderful. Big thanks to you and Shamir for doing this. All the time on TV tennis we hear how "oh he's got a read on his serve now" and I think a lot of us, myself included, try to become poker players picking up these tells and speaking for myself very unsuccessfully. I gave up looking for tells a while ago and have just relied on pure reaction to save myself some stress. These tips though are amazing and new to me. Actual measurable, improvable skills and not just "improving guess work". Love it. Thanks again
Great point Gumaro 🙏
Thanks keep doing these lessons with a student they are great and something you dont see alot of other tennis channels doing.
Wow, great lesson Coach Nick! Good to see that Shamir made a lot of great progress. And it's eye-opening to see that even a 4.5 level player can have such a difficult time handling big serves.
Thank you very much for all your amazing videos from Malaysia. It greatly elevates my game as intermediate club player, which I won't have a chance to access to such top quality coaching!!
Thank you SO much for your lessons. I'm an athlete but a novice player and coach (by default) I have a lot of learning to do...
I love watching these lessons with him. I learn so much.
this guy is so awesome at explaining and showing what to do incredible would love to work with him
What a GREAT lesson. I love the way you teach and how matter-of-fact everything you say is. Awesome!
🙏
Very nice class, congrats. I learned a lot from this channel and I have improved a lot my tennis.
Loving this lesson! Not sure how I missed it, but am glad to have found it Nick!
Glad I found this lesson. Super awesome. Loving it.
Great lesson. Especially the advice to make the first move extremely quickly!
Best video for fixing return. Thanks!
Great video. Your explanation was specific with visual examples. Really enjoyed it. Subscribed!
i love this guy. he doesnt waste a second of my time
Odlicni tutoriali Nikola, hvala i pozdrav iz Zagreba!
Puno hvala Lucy
Such a good video lesson.....thank you for posting!
Pieces of eastern europe tough love! Haha.. love it!
Thank you for this video Great training and a wealth of info. Please keep doing these!
wow. that's amazing kick serves!
thanks for the return lesson.
Wow what a great coach! I guess I had too many other weaknesses to work on that I just ignore the return of serve. Awesome video, my friend
Fantastic lesson. I enjoyed every second of it. Svaka čast, majstore.
Hvala 🙏
Invaluable lesson!!!
Thank you a lot!!!
I watched the older video on returning serve that was a couple years ago prior to this one... and I was surprised to not here Agassi mentioned. That may date my age, but I remember him and Sampras and the amazing returns Andre had. Both legends in my mind!
Agassi return one of the best for sure
Really good lesson on ROS. Nice work thank you.
These lessons are so good.
Great video, as always.
Thanks for the lesson Nick, A+ 👍. I'd like to see an advanced part on aggressive return especially on/for a one hand backhander.. in a Double situation!
Favorite new channel. Amazing stuff.
I think The lesson format is the best approach. Great tips. I also strand on the same spot. I will try to back away somewhat which maybe also works with the ground stroke
amazing lesson, thank you!
Best coach on UA-cam!
Been watching allot of lessons this channel is the best 👍
Happy to hear that!
Great student x great instructor! You're sooo UH-MAY-ZING! 👏🏽🎾👑
Very few coaches know how to effectively use shame to motivate their charges. It IS an effective technique when used in the gentle way you do. Bravo. BTW this is intended as a complement.
I came up short against a really good kicker server the other day. In the same boat as Samir. Things are not quite 'obvious' to me, but thanks for explaining the geometry out. This is such a great lesson for returns.
Thiem was on the back wall receiving Zverev's 1st serve at US Open
Excellent video! So informative..
Solid gold. 👍🏻
Great lesson!
Really a very good lesson...
Great lesson, I got a lot out of this one.
Eye opening watching this channel.
a lot of good content sir, thank you
Excellent tips~ Thanks
Nik you're teaching is brilliant. As amazing you are with your Tennis records, you maybe even a better teacher. The videos are awesome. Keep it up!!
Thank you 🙏
@@IntuitiveTennis Subscribed. Cheers!
Such a talented coach...
That little squawk noise before your serve is funny
agreed, thought it was someone screaming
Just like to say I have seen a bunch of tennis tips on UA-cam, but none as good as your material. Congrats!
Great lesson
Really great!
Nice tips. I tend to just block the return of serve. Nice idea to hit a full follow through. I guess there is more control with this method. And aim for centre of court.
Nice job!
Great video. Thanks
Great teacher
Amazing tip!
Can't wait to get on the court again and shorten up my backswing!
Greetings from Cedar Key Florida 🏝. Brilliant your videos are and helpful!!
🏝🙌
This is a model lesson, indeed! I've been experimenting with kick serves and I've found something interesting for the recreational level playing. If the kick serve (either 7-1 and 8-2) is hit relatively slowly about 82-85km/h and when it's hit relatively fast 95km/m gives amazing notable differences! When slow the ball travells straight without curving, but it bounces up with really significant angle, it's something about one meter (3 feet approximately) to the side thus spoiling all the opponent's preparation to hit it back, usually resulting is a terribly jammed return or missing at all! But when this service is hit fast the ball's trajectory becomes curved but the bounce up loses almost all the angle and jumps along aligned with its flight trajectory. Personally I haven't developed my kick and spin serves faster than 95km/h, but a flat and slice serves of mine are a bit faster, often 105km/h
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙂thanks, Ale from Argentina
great tip not to try and anticipate the ball, but judge the direction after it's been hit! Also when you do the split step, you do it to be ready to hit, to be explosive, like you said, so it's important to make the student understand the actual purpose of the split step. I for one, am soooo ready to attack the return, I'm fully onto it, I hop and split as if my life depended on it, and I expect the fastest serve on this planet ;) but when the ball is actually hit towards me, I sometimes lose the rhythm (it's especially visible when the serve is surprisingly slow). I somehow....freeze after the split, and that's what makes it really difficult to return at all. My coach serves ca. 130 km/h against me. This is enough to get the return completely wrong if you over-anticipate.
thanks for the video
Hi Nik - Would you mind putting out a video on different stringing patterns (16x19) vs (18x20) and how it impacts play? Thank you!
amazing lessons with great technical details
I am learning from your video and teaching my kids
He returned really well.
Hopefuly no more home run hit .... got to do this quarter hit
Good vid. Your man is still arming a lot of that forehand return, looks like he's not using enough core and pushing off of his legs.
Nice lesson
I wonder what grip Shamir is in when receiving. Hard to come over on backhand side (one handed) against a big serve
Looking for a good return lesson this one is very good.
tyvm
This video all but confirms my suspicions about how to absolutely run through people with 1 handed backhands.
Hi! What would be the difference in returning 1st vs. 2nd serve, i.e. fast and weak serve? I.e., where would be the fine line of how much to attack the serve and still not make an error?
