The return of serve: TENNIS MASTERCLASS by Patrick Mouratoglou, EPISODE 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 тра 2024
- In this Tennis Masterclass, I talk about the most important shot in the game. The return. Do you want to return like Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal, or Andy Murray? Or maybe some of the best on the women’s side, like Simona Halep or Iga Swiatek? Do you want to know how to take advantage of your opponent’s serve and get in their mind?
If so, I have the right strategies and techniques for you.
The goal of the return of serve is to neutralize your opponent by engaging in their first service ball and attacking the second in order to take control of the point.
In this video, I break down each aspect of the return. From your position, grip, split step, contact point, aim, and anticipation… I can assure you that you will leave this video a better returner. Let’s go!

I can't believe we are getting this kind of quality tennis lesson for free... Thank you so much Coach Mouratoglou!
I was literally thinking the same thing.
There is a reason for that😂. Just look how many players(girls/boys) have won a GS under him as the main coach.
@@west4798😅😅😅😅
@@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.
@@117mxsanchez yyyyyyyyyytttt
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 👏
You're very welcome! Thank you for your kind words!
Please keep educating us and the next generation for better tennis performance. God richly bless you Coach
One of the best tennis coach in the world if not the best
@@patrickmouratoglou_official😱
good presentation but poor info
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!
😮😮
I have found similar help from this video. So so so so so helpful
True! Most club pros no nothing. They'll take your money and you'll never get better. Sad....
This is by far one of the best tutorial on return of serves delivered in such concise, succinct fashion! Straight to the point and easy to understand even for early learners of the game - no wonder folks like Rune and Gauff are improving so drastically!
Ps: next up, please could we have a tutorial on defending / attacking high balls. Merci beaucoup!
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.
Hearing you felt like you are describing Novak’s technique of return. Thanks for putting it in words. You are great coach.
I pay around R$100.00 for a class to have this type of information that was passed on here. My teacher is a great idol to me for his dedication to tennis, but Maratoglou surpassed all barriers of excellence with this video and FOR FREE!! Congrats!! 👏👏
I've found that most club pros no nothing! They take your money, and you never even get any better.
It's incredible the amount of knowledge you're sharing with us Patrick. Thanks.
Glad you enjoy it!
Very humbled by your passion to teach tennis in such detail.... everyone around the world who gets to learn from your videos are indebted to you...thank you
I appreciate that!
i learn more in this video than 54 years of playing tennis!!! thank you coach!!
This is filmed unbelievably well wtf. Bravo Patrick
Can't wait for episode 2,3,4,5.....always great!!! Thank you🎾🎾🎾
Patrick’s ability to translate the dynamics of everything in tennis is second to none. I am a beginner and I learn so much from start to end of every video. And, he delivers advice so well that I am able to apply it right on my next practice. He literally imprints the lesson in my mind. Merci beaucoup!🥰
I started tennis when I was 7 but then stopped at 15. Recently I returned, to be able to exercise, but also to play good tennis and enjoy it as I should have in the first place. Every single one of your videos has helped me towards feeling more confident in each practice. Thank you so much for your work, your channel is fantastic!
This is by far the best coaching available on You tube. It's incredible
I have not seen any video with a better technique than this video about returning the serve . Simply Amazing 🤩! 👏👏👏
