Hey, Fedor! Just a couple of coaching thoughts I wanted to share. Very solid game: excellent racquet head acceleration, nice footwork (including the pivot step on your backhand), good variety of spins on the serve (especially kick!), and all around, you clearly have a game tailored to effective first-strike tennis. Particularly once you start to play at a university (where you'll likely play many matches outdoors), take advantage of your Western grip on the forehand and increase your net clearance. You have so much topspin to take advantage of, but at least in this video, you're leaving a lot of rally balls shorter in the court than you might like (at or just beyond the service line). The other piece of advice I can give you is with your forehand volley, be sure to keep your wrist firm and your contact point out in front of you. Your volleys are a bit "wristy", and the take-back is a little far; this can result in less control over this shot, particularly as you're transitioning to net. Hope these thoughts help, and best of luck in the future!
Solid video of your capabilities. Maybe show a few points that you didn’t win. How you handle yourself after losing a few points is just as important as how you win points. Find a way to highlight your court mental preparedness. I’d also like to see how you combat serve & volleyer’s.
Many of those forehands are hit openstance and slightly moving backward. In a training session, you expect a more intensive foorwork to hit some of thise forehand semiclosed and balanced
to point out the weaknesses: the backhand technique needs reworking. He can't return high topspin shots to his backhand well, and tries to angle it downwards and ends up hitting it short allowing the opponent to move into the net. There is some lack of efficiency. Hits very hard but the ball still has a low pace. Not meeting the contact point of the racket optimally.
Great potential on Fedor. I'd like to know did he manage to get that scholarship? And it'd be nice to have an update of he's improving. Curious to know how far he'll go :)
Great example of constantly bouncing and playing on the forefoot and getting racket right back to ready position after every shot. Both of which i do very poorly.
This is one of those recruitment videos where there's a gazillion edits and polishing. Every 10 seconds there's a skip jump. Show some errors. Show some moving laterally left to right, right to left. Show some moving forward. Anybody can make a video like this with their highlights. There was hardly any footwork. Hardly any technique. Hardly any setting up points. Maybe the kid is good. Maybe he's not. You definitely can't tell from this video. I'd love to see him play an actual competitive match against a similar or better opponent. This video does nothing.
A good D2 school and a small D1 school will be the perfect fit right now, if he improves he could transfer to a mid major but gotta that UTR up to a mid 11 even 12 for that tho

I totally agree!
I don’t agree cuz it’s a showcase video and he can easily just act composed for the camera
Man, I want one of these barn / indoor tennis courts for my backyard.
Great player, good luck in college recruiting process
What a smooth and powerful forehand!
This kids everything is solid
Christ this kid's one two punch is on another level.
I like it. Thanks for posting. This kid's really good. He's only 154lbs right now, so he's only going to get bigger and stronger.
True, he needs to bulk up.
This kid should be able to get a full scholarship to any D2 school
Lol
D2 ? He can play D1 all day long
@@pakchu2 Lol. lol. lol. lol.
@@pakchu2 d1?
@@coryCuc d1?
Very very good forehand... Good luck from tunisia
I'll remember this video when he becomes ATP player

Continue striving will cause you to excel so enjoy as I do miss training my tennis abilities!
What is your string tension? Seven years playing tennis, you are talent.
I could talk to my former college coach. He definitely has the talent.
Enjoyed watching you play. That forehand is terrific. Good luck!
This guy is amazing. I know him
what is your foreahnd grip
Парень классно играет, техника отличная, удачи ему
Nice game. Hope someone gives him a shot👍
Man’s snapped a string and switched racquets 😂 solid hitting tho

I believe he also grips the racquet quite high on the backhand.
What a load of shit
@@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten I guess Roddick won a grand slam with a worst grip than this.
@@lucianogreiner True, but it would still improve his strokes. But these are all minor details and this guy is really good
@@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten many players hold it that high
Nice relaxed forehand!

Taylor fritz looking game
That kid is top 1000 ATP already
great job but i think u need better sound quality
Great example of constantly bouncing and playing on the forefoot and getting racket right back to ready position after every shot. Both of which i do very poorly.
Jeez I’m getting old. Born in 2006, that was like yesterday 😂
Lol, I feel you. 2000 is like yesterday and it's 23 years ago.
This guy looks like Jannick Sinner and I love his haircut
yeah, sick hair
eh I wish I wasn't too old I'm 25 Upper Advanced player from London sadge I'd try to apply
Очень хорошо играешь! Надеюсь подступишь на бюджет👍

a mixture of taylor fritz and sinner wow
めちゃ参考になる
Good form very good
Hes super good
будем следить!
Good looking forehand, but it’s tough technically for the future.
Why is it though i didn't get it, can you re explain please, sorry for my bad English grammar by the way?
Is it could be he started playing late? Professional player needs to do fitness more besides tennis techniques only??
You play a lot like taylor fritz
Kid is clearly legit. Why exactly is he trying to play college in the U.S.?
this guy is future us open champ
😂😂😂
@@minisurfbanana 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
You’re not the kids Dad are you? 😁
Такое впечатление, что спарринг немного игрока жалеет. Почаще поглубже бы да посильнее. Бы ;). А техника - огонь! Да!
Is this like 12 UTR?
Which college will he goto
A good D2 school and a small D1 school will be the perfect fit right now, if he improves he could transfer to a mid major but gotta that UTR up to a mid 11 even 12 for that tho
2:20 awful sound, hate when i hear a string breaking
Что то с ракеткой не так либо со струнами либо вес, чувствуется как будто не достаточно мощи в ударе, а так техника очень хорошая
wow👏👏
hits the cover off the ball.
Waow
Bruh with a 9.8 utr I can’t imagine a top school that’s gonna give anything
D2 schools will give this kid a good scholarship, remember he’s still in HS, so he has yrs to develop from a 9.8 to at least an 11 maybe better
@@10scoach33 he's a senior tho
He is only 2000 ITF, he looks too good on the video
Maybe he doesnt play a lot of tournaments...but looks way better than 2000.
Where are the rallies from a 3rd set match? Practice is never equivalent to how you react in competition.
Пол страны так играет
не вижу у тебя такого же видео, где ты так играешь
Do you have any ITF ranking or UTR?
UTR according to a quick search. So definitely a very high level player.
@@regularmouse4230 He's got a 9.8 UTR, nothing crazy tbh
@@CCS13 a 9.8 is very solid for a HS senior, he’s looking at a D2 scholarship for sure and possibly a small D1 school will offer him something….
@@10scoach33 Maybe, but my point stands, 9.8 UTR is not a "very high level player". He's decent
@@CCS13 a 9.8 is a very solid skill level…. Especially for a kid 17 yrs old
need better serves man
Everybodys a coach 🥱🤦♂️🙄
bros a 9 utr
Mas que fedor 😂😂😂😂
his forehand looks like sinners
Bro what that is not sinners forehand 🎃
@@Johnmili4565 its double bend racket faces back and then his left arm is literally what sinner does.
I can definitely see it
