I love this. I could watch it all day. It’s relaxing. Muscle memory. I’m not able to play much anymore but my brain remembers what it was like. Excellent. Thank you
One of the most underrated tennis channels in youtube. It would be great if you can have a voice overlap on your drill - like warming up at the service line to get a feel of the ball before stepping behind and rallying the baseline. I don't think that would reveal any secrets but helps viewers understand what you are practicing. I've noticed that Osaka's head moves a lot (not sure if it is because of her hair). Her chin dips down and tucks in before she hits the ball and comes out after she hits the ball. Is that ideal? I heard that federer's head does not move before and during the stroke due to the weight of the head.
I love the more open stance “rainbow” strokes at the service line, just learned those myself. I hope you work hard for Naomi’s 2021 season. Not my place to offer advice, but as someone with a coach, I love running plays so I have set plays to win points. Too many modern players are just counterpunching without a specific play in mind to run the point 2-4 shots ahead of opponent. Medvdev may be the exception, he clearly was using set plays to finish off the big 3 at Nitto Championship.
@@commondirtbagz7130 Right, that does sound like nonsense. I think Karue was talking about looking at the shape of the ball, making different shapes depending on the part off the court.
Love the content! Do you do any coaching in NYC? I am based in Brooklyn -- 5.0 player. Want to improve to your level---but super hard to find talented people to help. Let me know! Happy to reach out personally...
Whenever you think about power players in tennis you think about ppl like Aryba Sabalenka or Serena Williams but you can’t forget Osaka with her big serve and strong ground strokes
Great hitting, awesome channel, and amazing venue for sure!. I have to ask, however, if you and Osaka were to play a match, do you think you would come out on top?
Of course he would. The dude barely trains anymore and his UTR is still higher than hers. Not to take away from Osaka, she’s a talented athlete. But at the top of the game the physical attributes of men give them an advantage that can’t be overcome.
@@heavyhitter103 Fair points indeed. He has some great talent, I would love to see him get motivated and serious again and try to make it on the tour. Awesome strokes and mechanics, I would hate to see it go to waste. I guess it all just boils down to "how bad does he want it'? Assuming the fire is still there.
Hi Stephen - thanks for the message. I just got the same question in another video and this is my answer: “I've heard that several times and my answer is quite simply I can't afford playing on the tour year around at the lower levels. Getting to the atp takes time and I don't have the financial support to stay competing. I'd love to be able to afford it but I can't pay my bills of dreams. Again, appreciate the message but as of now I'm happy with my decision. But who knows what the future holds 💪🏻”
@@Karue-Sell Thanks for the reply, Brother! I apologize that I didn't even consider the financial burden that is required in order to compete on the tour. I sincerely wish good fortune comes your way so you can get back out there winning matches! You're just too good to be sitting on the sidelines and we would love to watch you compete and entertain at the highest level! Cheers!
I wonder if you have ever felt nervous when hitting with those stars. ...and: Who are you training with or only with Naomi Osaka exclusively? :) Enjoy your time in NYC and stay healthy! Take care...
@@Karue-Sell Thanks for your quick reply! I really appreciate that you come back to your subscribers for answering their questions. I can't wait the US Open to begin. I think it's a big chance for lower ranked players and my favourites Sousa, Verdasco, Cuevas and Lajovic to make points and money. Additionally, I am 100 % confident that everyone involved in the tournament's organization is professional to the fullest to keep everyone safe. Have an amazing tournament and enjoy! :)
@@Karue-Sell Well, it sounds just like his, especially the trajectory of the ball coming off the hoop ... the pocketing is phenomenal .... So, it's not off-the-rack but a customised hairpin? TGT? TGK?
Just wish I was playing like him lol I got it from head back when I was sponsored by them. Could have some similarities with his. Quarter inch longer, around 330grams unstrung, 4 3/8 grip
What are your chances against her in a real match do you reckon you will win? From what I have seen I would put my money on you winning easily in 2 sets but that may be the sexist in me.
I love this. I could watch it all day. It’s relaxing. Muscle memory. I’m not able to play much anymore but my brain remembers what it was like. Excellent. Thank you
Karue, what a smooth, easy looking forehand you've got! A joy to watch 👍
Congrats to Naomi Osaka and her team (including you)! She's a great role model.
Thank you Robert!
Wow!!! Your channel gets better and better each time I watch it. I'm a huge fan. Please keep playing and posting. Cheers.
Thank you! We'll keep posting more and more!

Thank You .More success with Naomi and Wim for the next tournament maybe in Australian swing next year....
Glad to see y'all are back at it. Best of luck to the whole team for Cincy and US Open. Stay safe!
Thank you!
God your ball striking is super clean, love the forehand in particular!
Awesome video. I hope i get to experience something like that one day. Even cooler since im a huge osaka fan
Just gotta work hard and smart and one day you might 👍🏼
this is that good good premium content for real
Glad you liked it!
these videos are so relaxing to watch
This is so helpful and... relaxing?? Thank you great content !!!

Rainbow strokes?
@@commondirtbagz7130 Right, that does sound like nonsense. I think Karue was talking about looking at the shape of the ball, making different shapes depending on the part off the court.
@@charlesasch ohhhhh okay I think I get what you mean. Like the arcs of the ball from the different spins?
@@commondirtbagz7130 I mean, I like to have a beer or two while watching TennisHQ videos, so maybe that's what I meant? ;)
@@charlesasch I...I see. Fair enough I guess. Just one question? How many videos do you watch to last a couple of beers?
Osaka❤️
👏🏼👏🏼
Good to know Naomi Osaka also warms up at the service line.
Love it! If you can, you should put her name in the title and tags. It will help your channel grow!
Definitely but since I work for her I don't want to use her name for our gain. Mytennishq and her stay separate 😊
@@Karue-Sell makes sense! You guys are great!
The Boss Lady? Hahaha! Superb.
Do you use a pro stock racquet?
She s a queen now. You are now the knight.
Love that!
Nice hitting. Love the stadium also 🤯
Thank you!
Hi, Karue. Do you think you will become a coach on the tour in the future?
Love the content! Do you do any coaching in NYC? I am based in Brooklyn -- 5.0 player. Want to improve to your level---but super hard to find talented people to help. Let me know! Happy to reach out personally...
Unfortunately not. I'm based in LA at the moment!
Thanks for the perspective, osaka hits dang hard...
Whenever you think about power players in tennis you think about ppl like Aryba Sabalenka or Serena Williams but you can’t forget Osaka with her big serve and strong ground strokes
What are the conditions like this year with the court surface change? Great video, cheers!
Court is farely quick. I'd say medium fast, not too bouncy
My Tennis HQ Novak will probably love the conditions this year! Tsitsipas too
Ferdous Alam they’re using Laykold this year instead
Man I want her Ezone 98 limited edition racket
Great focus.

Depends, he hits with quite a lot of topspin and Naomi would take advantage of that quickly

No not really. Hitting is really fun for me. Obviously during a match it is different haha and no only Osaka here

are you using MP or pro version?
how were you able to hit with her/play at the us open? lucky!
Did you just pick up one of Nole's pro stock racquets? :))
Haha its not his but it is a custom version of the speed. It's my baby hahah

@@Karue-Sell What is your static and swing weight?
Como é a convivência com a Osaka? Ela convive bastante com o grupo ou é mais fechada?
Great video
RUclips should really have some kind of SuperLikes or something, for when a normal like just isn't enough :)
Haha if you subscribe and share our content with others we’ll consider it a SuperLike 😉
@@Karue-Sell Oh that's already done mate :)
Consider it SuperLiked 👍🏼👍🏼
are you part of her team?
Can you tell me what specific Nike hat you're wearing? lol.
No clue tbh
That thump at 6:38 tho..
Yo I’m new to the channel. Are you a pro player? If so what’s your name?
No, he is a former D1 College Tennis Player
That shot 6:57 haha =)
who is that? naomi?
you practice with Naomi? or she with you? wth?
What are your chances against her in a real match do you reckon you will win? From what I have seen I would put my money on you winning easily in 2 sets but that may be the sexist in me.
hi naomi!
I see naomi I like
Good footage, but why are they hitting so soft?
He is probably simulating how her next opponent would hit defensive shots.
It's called a warmup and then practice
He really doesn’t want to hit a backhand.
All I want to do is hit a backhand. Do a little bit of research and you know lol
