Nice analysis. One thing I would like to add is per the RPS(revolutions per second) supplied on all the players during their matches at Monte Carlo, Tsitsipas' rpm's on his forehand are at the very top of the food chain, along with Nadal, Berrettini, Ruud, and Fognini.
@@Karue-Sell I think(maybe) one reason for his high spin rate on his forehand is like Fed and Nadal, he makes contact with a straight arm/ extended elbow. I think that hitting arm configuration allows for more internal shoulder activation and rotation during ball contact for extra spin.
I thought his racket drop is more natural than the so-called “ pat the dog” that other pros use. He doesn’t have to change his wrist position since it’s already in a laid back position.. Would love to hear your thoughts on that. Also, you mentioned he did the upward release to generate more spin, but it’s already pass contact point, how does it help? Can you elaborate on that? Thanks 🙏
I agree that it is a very interesting forehand! I was impressed on how compact his forehand is. Thanks for the shoutout - my user name was generated by my university and I never bothered to switch my email. There is no correct way to pronounce it!
great video, I would like to see you guys analyze the Matteo Berrettini forehand or Thanasi kokkinakis forehand (kyrgios buddy). Stay in this way these videos are awesome
Nice job, man!! I’m new to the channel so I don’t know if you have already done it but an analysis on Shapovalov’s forehand would be nice too!! Keep it up!
He keeps the raquet head up because he's always looking for opportunities to attack the net, he takes more swinging forehand volleys than any player, suits his style.
@@Karue-Sell Hey I was thinking, you made a great video on 'How To Beat Players “Better” Than You', but how do I stop losing to players worse than me? I would love to see your takes on that! Keep up the great work :)
Are you able to do an analysis to compare the difference between the modern eastern grip forehand (Federer/Dimitrov) and traditional eastern forehand (Sampras/Agassi)? I am trying to move back to the Eastern grip from a SW to give my FH more penetration but am finding it very difficult to generate the same wrist rotation.
I am indeed very surprised at your analysis takeaways. if have tracked tsitsipas his forehand is one of major weapons on tour. He has been able defeat federer multiple times now because of FH and also matched Thiem and won World Tour Finals because of his FH. Also played epic five setter against stan last year at french open by dominating using FH. if he has weakness it probably is his BH and that too on the return. Otherwise he is most likely a future No 1 contender along with Thiem.
I agree with your points Rishabh - he is a contender for the #1. I did mention in the video that he does have a good forehand, but it’s not necessarily a very aggressive one. If you compare it to Berrettini’s or Thiem’s, his forehand is not as potent. orAnd that’s ok - Djokovic doesn’t have a super aggressive forehand and he’s still one of the best players of all time
I agree. His father coached him to emulate Del Potro's forehand, "one of the best forehands in ATP history", I remembered this was from John McEnroe's comments about Del Potro. Without his big forehand weapon, how could Tsitsipas beat best legend players in the world- Federer,Nadal and Novak?
Interesting analysis. His FH definitely doesn't seem to be a big weapon like some of the others. How would you go about changing it, and what would you change in order of priority? Is it even realistic to try and change it as his age / stage of career?
I think changing it is not an absolute necessity - at the end of the day, Djokovic does not have a killer forehand either. He's game is complete enough that he could rise to the top regardless. That being said, I think if you want to be the best you should never stop improving. Nadal has changed his serve several times through the years (check here ruclips.net/video/BlhRex1FTQY/видео.html), and he didn't really NEED to. I think I'd start by loosening up his wrist - he currently keeps it very still throughout the shot. Adding some movement there could help him with the "lag-and-snap" and add some more punch
Great analysis. U seem well-versed on tennis stroke details. Answer me this Batman. On a regular forehand rally ball from baseline. Should my swing-path to contact be aimed at the inside or outside of ball? Top of ball or bottom of ball? 🤔
Thanks Levi. I’d say contact should usually be on a bottom-to-top brushing motion, while the swing path will heavily depend on your position and where you’re aiming your shot
Actually, he is hitting a lot of winers with is forehand . It is a great shot. U can have an eastern grip and have a great forehand like Lendl, Federer...
I think choosing the right grip comes down to personal preference, and it’s hard to give advice without knowing your game style. With that being said, the semi western grip is an excellent choice and fits well with the majority of styles (unlike the western and eastern grips)
Rafael Nadal's spanish and non Spanish fans say" Nobody can defeat Rafa in clay court of French open Roland Garros not even perfect player list he creates" Rafael Nadal says" I am born on clay to be the king of clay" Stefanos Tsitsipas " When you are in form you are going get obliterated,demolished and decimated on clay by me and then get dethroned and crucified as a king of clay by me who is going to be the Emperor on clay one day" Stefanos Tsitsipas to Rafael Nadal's Spanish and non Spanish fans " You Spaniards who are Rafael Nadal's fans are nothing weirdos.

If there is French Open Roland Garros final on clay court between Rafael Nadal and Stefanos Tsitsipas. Spectators, tennis great players who are tennis analyst and tennis commentators might say. Rafael Nadal is overrated favourite to win French Open. Stefanos Tsitsipas is underrated underdog and dark horse to win. Stefanos Tsitsipas challenges Rafael Nadal. Stefanos Tsitsipas wins the French open. Rafael Nadal and his fans are upset 😡. Rafael Nadal's fans adore Rafael Nadal so much that they have nothing but contempt against Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Your analysis of his forehand was spot on, I would say his forehand is one awesome shot and beautiful to watch for us
Indeed it is!
nice vid! i love tsispas's forehand its so intuitive and kinda easy to learn!
It’s a great one to watch!

they just keep uploading
nice vids
Thanks bud!

You should analyse Tomic's forehand. I think it's very underrated.
I would like to see that also. Tomic has fallen out of favor, by his on undoing, but he has very good simple technique on his forehand.
1st thing I noticed was that he actually releases is left hand quite early compared to other pros...
He does!
@@Karue-Sell Also, take a look at other videos with different angles, he does pat the dog but just for a very short time compared to other pros.
I agree that it is a very interesting forehand! I was impressed on how compact his forehand is.
Thanks for the shoutout - my user name was generated by my university and I never bothered to switch my email. There is no correct way to pronounce it!
Haha that makes sense!
@@Karue-Sell please reply to my comments.

Will add that to our list 😊
@@Karue-Sell Could you also do Berrettini serve and particularly look at his weird grip?
Very nice content guys! Keep it up! I would like to see more analysis like this, maybe with other strokes (like kyrgios serve 😅)... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nice job, man!! I’m new to the channel so I don’t know if you have already done it but an analysis on Shapovalov’s forehand would be nice too!! Keep it up!

His father has said in an interview that Tsitsipas uses a pure eastern (bevel 3) grip.
Great videos!
Thank you for the support Eduardo!

can u do steffi graf forhand?
yea, high take back like del potro!

Nice analysis. Thank you. One suggestion would be not to use such a wide white circle as a pointer. It is distracting and blocks the view.
Zenon22207 yeah, you’re 100% right. Still learning how to use the software, but hopefully one day will get there. Thanks for the feedback!
Can you make a video analysis of thiem and dimitrov.Please make a video on how to produce more power on forehand backhand serve

I’m graduating coming October. Was planning a trip to the US to watch the grandslam. But then covid fked my plans over😭😭😭
Dang, I’m sorry to hear that. But hey - congrats on your graduation! There will be plenty of GS in the future for you to watch
Fernando Gonzalez FH and David Nalbandian BH pls :D
There’s a true tennis fan! Would love to work on those. Have you seen our Co-Founder Karue’s backhand? Looks just like Nalbandian’s
@@Karue-Sell Yes, it looks good, I added it to my tennis playlist
Hey, do you think it will work well if I try it with a semi western grip instead? Also great vid bro 👍.
I think choosing the right grip comes down to personal preference, and it’s hard to give advice without knowing your game style. With that being said, the semi western grip is an excellent choice and fits well with the majority of styles (unlike the western and eastern grips)
My Tennis HQ Okay, thanks so much!
Can you do Rublev backhand?
Tsitsipas and Rublev I know never do "tap the dog". More of a Agassi's style !!!
Definitely
