    • @amondene

      It looks like Roger's incredible serve is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in these sequences. He's not winning outright off the serve, but setting up a high % finisher off the short ball return

    This goes to show the importance of practicing serves. Most of your audience learnt this game as adults. We obsess over ground-stroke techniques. We (average adult 4.0 players) are happy to get the serve in at a decent pace. A whole lot can be achieved by spending time on improving serve placement. Then it is possible to run plays. This separates the average 4.0 player and a strong 4.0 player

    @tennishawks5438 4 года назад +6

    Great stuff, I love how you make this clear and so easy to understand. I am hoping your next video you uncovers the next layer of the onion so to speak. Once Novak is leaning that way, how Fed makes him off balance. For example in doubles, I generally serve down the T on both sides, get net man to close down the middle and see if the returner hits around the net person equally well on both sides. The next variation is to serve wide both sides, the net person should cover down the line shot, so what does the returner do? The next layer of the onion could be jamming them in the body etc, for a long taller returner. This way, you can make a comprehensive analysis of this play. Many thanks!!

      @@gmnboss Federer is not a power player, but touch player and strategist so reading novak would not have the same effect since novak with his power game will still be able to put roger on the back foot. Lets just give the same racquets that fed used to play in early 2000s and see what happens.

    I love this analysis. I feel like Djokovic was guessing on that one where Federer hit cross court, maybe subconsciously he felt Federer had hit in that direction before. I love the concept of “plan your points”. Take it one point at a time and plan so you can put yourself in a successful position in the match overall.

    in both shots, which were sitters for roger, he went for the cross court, Novak guessed that for 2nd shot, he would now go cross court as per previous shot. Roger being a bit defensive going for longer part of the court hitting a cross shot.

    Fantastic! I have a pretty good serve and this one guy I play with is always trying to to hide his backhand. He has a great forehand server return and really punishes my second serves. I end up hitting more double faults against him because I feel like I have a narrower target to hit to get to his backhand. This is a great play that I'm going to have to start taking advantage of. Thanks!

    Really interesting video. Enjoy this type of content. Great that you're moving in this direction. As you said yourself the technique for forehands, backhands etc. has already been covered by Essential Tennis and different tennis channels. So breaking down strategy is fresh and exciting content. How about you break down these strategies. Then ask regular 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 players to try to implement these strategies in games. Show the pro doing it first. Then explain how you've taught this strategy to a 4.5 level player and show the video of them executing it. Could be a whole series of you teaching certain strategies to different 4.5, 5.0 players and then you could experiment as to which strategies have been most effective.

  • @yuanhu7264
    @yuanhu7264 4 года назад +5

    I watched the entire video and being a tennis player my self, I think the content just scratched the surface and doesn't mention deep down why Roger does that. He was injured in AO2020 before the match with Djokovic and being the slowest hard court of GS, Djokovic has the biggest advantage of winning the rally games. That's why he picked the more aggressive approaches, as the three points you show all proved it. I think these analysis only make sense if you mention the situation each players are in at the moment, and general strength and weakness of each player, then the quality of the content will be much improved. However, the presentation overall and visualization is good, I just can't say the same thing for the content.

    • @lewielane3336
      @lewielane3336 3 года назад

      Are you serious ? The slowest hardcourt is US. And Roger wasn’t injured, he just knows from the beginning he won’t have any chances agains Novak, if he plays baseline rallies and rallies with more than 4 shots.

    2 of those examples with Roger and Novak bring back bad memories of the 2019 Wimbledon final. They're very similar to the 40-30 match point he had. Ad serve to Novak's forehand, short weak return, Federer attacks the forehand, aaaand Novak smoked him with a crosscourt pass.

      Ken Rosewall was 5´7" and won 8 GS and 15 ProGS (a total of 23). His nickname was "Muscles", because he lacked them. Rod Laver was 5´8" and won 11GS and 8 ProGS (a total of 19). He won the Grand Slam, twice.

    In the second video, especially with Roger's forehand capability of changing directions of forehand the last minute... it makes difficult for the opponent to read the ball positioning and predict where the ball must be placed to make a winner. So opponent obviously makes a guess ( and luckily correct this time) and moves. BTW great analysis and study on the game... Loved it and waiting for more videos to come....

    For the next video, I'd go with any women's doubles pairings. Building on your idea of a play in this video, show how in women's doubles they set up a play between the two of them. Serve to a certain spot, partner does x, etc.

    Jeff, strategy is super important, no doubt. Part of the discussion is about "intended" shot, vs "actual" shot. Players will need a degree of competence, in order to achieve this. You can have the best strategy in the world, but if you don't know which end of the racket to hold, it's all for nought.
    Assuming they know the mechanics / technique, some interesting observations about technique become apparent. All the good players know how to hit a ball now. What separates the very best, is strategy.
    What bugs me, is when I watch players go up against the greats (Serena, Roger, etc), and instead of playing a strategic match, they just hit back to the opponent, up the middle. The greats then take the initiative, and hit to the sidelines, build the point, then close.
    Why, oh why, do so many players not take the initiative on discretionary balls?

    Hi long time fan of your channel here! Iove these! Your videos have such high quality! 2 players my short Asian ass finds really inspirational are Nishikori and Diego Shwartzman. Neither have the flashy power shots that the slightly taller pros do and I would think they need to rely even more on using brain, shot placement, and strategizing! Maybe we can explore one their games! 🙏😁🎾
