      @@west4798 these comments are so stupid winning GS's is next to impossible most players that sit in the top 10 will never win a GS in their lives. Not to mention that like 3 dudes have won nearly all the GS titles in the past decade.

    As a coach who has worked 20 years on the WTA and ITF tour. This is the best example of simplifying things that are so difficult. For every sentence he says, he is condensing hours of research and analysis, meanwhile making it look easy. Awesome presentation, Patrick 👏

    Played competitive tennis my whole life and played D1 in the US back in HS before going to a college that killed its tennis program my freshman year. I've watched world class coaches give lessons on returns, and I have to say this is by far the best return class I've ever seen. I feel like if I had this resource available to me back in the day, I would have made huge gains on my return game. Great work as always by coach Patrick -- keep it up!

    Ps: next up, please could we have a tutorial on defending / attacking high balls. Merci beaucoup!

    • @TheTamrielDrunkard
      @TheTamrielDrunkard Рік тому +6

      I will let Patrick make the video, but to get you started, make sure you're moving your feet forward and timing that ball off the bounce at around chest to shoulder height. This allows you to level out your swing and flatten the trajectory of the ball because the net will not be in the way when you are contacting the ball well above the net's height.

    I'm a club player. I was taught a simple lesson: Return the serve like you are hitting a volley. It was great advice, and the return is one of the strongest parts of my game. Move forward, cut off the shot and punch the ball back with some backspin for control. Carlos Alcaraz does this some times. So does Novak. When he was down double match point to Roger in Wimbledon in 2019, he volleyed bot serves back.

    9:29 using the bodyweight forward to control the return is so important Patrick. I was having trouble my last match, left hand guy with strong slice. I was having some success using my bodyweight to remove the "heaviness" from his serve. If I did not use my bodyweight forward the return was a mess. Bravo for this content.

Coaches in the past told me I was swinging too much or taking my arm back too far on returns, but never really explained why that was bad or how I should be really modifying my swing on return. Thank you Patrick...I get it now!
