Some of the best forehand advice I've ever heard. Not too technical, not very particular and opinionated regarding swing path, and just simple and helpful.
We know Boris has had many worries these past years. His energy and humour is amazing. Love you Boris.
True! On set, he was amazing. Absolute beast in front of the camera.

Roger has the greatest forehand ever! It’s so efficient and fluid. Poetry in motion
Nadal’s whip forehand is my favorite shot in tennis along with Wawrinka’s backhand. Crushing shot
So touching.....overwhelmed to see Boris talking....I was glued to his talk, didn't even watched kids playing tennis around him.
You are Legend for me sir.
He makes his point clear, easy to understand. Thank you very much for your lesson, Mr.Becker
That's why his whole course is our bestseller! Boris is a great teacher. See more here: topleveltennis.com/courses/boris-becker-basics-are-paramount
For à legendary guy like Boris Becker I was expected à bit more than this very basic speech. Did not learn anything except to recover to the middle after the shot and the follow through.
2:24 “That’s why I don’t play anymore” 😂

Knew this was gonna be top comment XD
This was the man that really brought the best tennis out of Sampras in my opinion especially indoor.
This kid has superb technique and footwork. Amateur and recreational players should take note.
I love how simplistic that guys forehand is… removes all the complex takeback…
‘That’s why I don’t play anymore’…I started at 45 and still enjoying it at 55. Completely rebooted my life and body playing once or twice a week. We have a Veterans Day on Thursday with average age well into the 70’s.
Great, good for you!
Boris has played at the highest level from the age of 16 for 15 years. In addition, he has been struggling with a hip injury for years. :(
Boris seems to be walking well, which is good, saw him 18 months ago, and hobblling along.
Me too...restarted at 41..
Boris has two hip replacements
comparing a grand slam
Champion to recreational club payers is pointless. By the age of 20 his body had gone through more than most will go through a lifetime; Respect to the youngest ever Wimbledon champ❗️
I never met you Boris but in my opinion you're a great guy and you know what you're talking about, and can make it clear to anybody. All the best, Oscar.

Wow this guy's really smooth he moves so well and so smooth so quick timing is very precise too it's always taking the ball right out in front real sweet that's because he's 19 years old and he's in top physical shape but when you get older like US 60 and stuff I mean you don't move as quick as that so but you learn technique you know and you're and you're slowing down but you're doing the best you can
Becker was a beast and a gentleman.

The moment he started talking about the kid's forehand, I looked at it and realized that it's very similar to Boris's own forehand motion. The angle and position of the racket when that meandering takeback begins and the big egg-shaped follow-through. That follow-through does back down more, but I suspect that is an inherent effect of having a different grip. If I think to how big or complex the motions got, people like Boris had one where he started taking the racket back very early even while still getting his feet into position, so it looked more complex than it actually was. I feel like Jimmy Connors and Chris Evert had quite possibly the simplest forehand movements, but they also needed to plant their feet into position first in order to get that kind of a stroke.
Becker oozes great coaching.
Thanks you
Good advices.
Well explained „Bobele“ 😘
Boris got great sense of camera angle and acted expressively. I am so amazed by his off-court humor too.
That's true! On set he was amazing. Our team didn't even request for any additional shots - he was great from the start to the end.

Boris was courageous, generous and strong, he was feared in the tennis arena, he was extremely determined to win no matter what his competitor was and whatever was challenge, he was ready to give all he had , as he didn't want to disappoint his supporters. in fact he wanted to give back to sport what this sport has given him. he is a great champion!
True! Have you watched his whole course yet? I think you won't regret! topleveltennis.com/courses/boris-becker-basics-are-paramount
Boris, i cannot believe that you don't know your own forehand grip. This is very stunning for an expert like you. You never ever used a western grip. You had an eastern grip on your forehand. And you never played with a lot of topspin. What are you talking about. And by the way; the modern players mostly use semiwestern grips and some eastern.
Despite your lack of tennis knowledge you were an absolute hero on the court.
Excellent instruction! I agree 150%!

When Boris first time won Wimbledon 1985 in his17 yrs. I was 32 yrs. old.
His matches with Edberg was unforgettable.
When Boris talking about tennis, I'am listening very carefully!
I was 12 then. He was my idol. I loved his power and service-volley...I sheered for him, cried for him....He made or destroyed my Sundays depending on his wins or losses....I still love him...but now I am a FedEx fan....I played in my teens...now I am close to 50...though I was very average player. Tennis has given me everything....excitment, joy, pain and sorrow...just like any ordinary life...
I am a Hugh Fan of Boris Becker since the first time I saw his game. he was the must agile player of his time. I still remember when Becker beat the #1 #2 #3 in the world in a row now that is Flawless Game play. Becker`s back hand was something to fear the power of the back hand of Becker not even Ivan Landl could handle it. 1994 I was 24 years old .
Jewels of knowledge. What former pros have lost in their respective games is infinite compared to what we mere club-player mortals will ever ascertain in our lives, about the game.
Absolutely! You are right, Arne. If you want to watch more tips from Boris, please go here: topleveltennis.com/courses/boris-becker-basics-are-paramount
Would be nice to see Boris have a rally.
To see if he still got the touch 😊
My hero growing up. My serve is modelled on his since I was small.

great to see Boris coaching these up and coming juniors players

I love listening to Boris talk about tennis. Interestingly, in this video instruction on the forehand, although he talks about proper footwork, moving back towards the center of the baseline after hitting the ball, the follow-through and hitting the ball in front, he surprisingly failed to mention transferring your weight forward into the shot. Proper weight transfer into the shot at the moment of impact is so important in tennis (as well as in hitting a baseball in that sport) not just to generate maximum power into the shot, but also to maximize control of the ball. It is also interesting that Boris referred to his forehand grip as a Western forehand, when his forehand grip was actually a semi-western grip. I realize, of course, that he was using the term "western grip" in the generalized sense as an umbrella term comprising both the full-western grip and the semi-western grip. Obviously his forehand grip was not a full-western grip like that utilized by Andres Gomez of Ecuador or Tomas Muster of Austria during their time on the men's pro tennis tour in which their left hands were positioned on the racket handle with the palm and base knuckle of the index finger on the bottom, 6 o'clock panel on the racket handle.
At minute 6:00 he explains why he was and always will be my favorite player. The best and most exciting tennis style ever.

Le tennis est régi par les jeux de jambes c'est comme la danse Boris est une icône Hats off to you
On behalf of Boris we would like to say thank you! Have you seen his course? topleveltennis.com/courses/boris-becker-basics-are-paramount
i need a coach like him
You are genius
It's in front but a lot of them are hitting semiopa and you know the deal is it depends on the situation if it's a straight shot you step straight in if you're on the run maybe on Clay it's you're not going to step in the direction of the ball you might hit somebody open towards the sidelines so changes dramatically according to court surface speed of court whether it's Clay
Follow through is different on every player too some come over the ball gradually some flick the wrist over some fall through high some wrap it around their neck you see everything out there
Had no idea he didn't play tennis anymore. I don't mean senior tour but I just meant tennis in general. Didn't know he didn't play recreational tennis anymore with friends and family just for fun. He said it, it's a moving sport that's why he doesn't play anymore.
Boris has a serious hip injury, that's why we cannot play anymore, even recreational. :(
sampras becker 1996 master final in Germany 5 sets, extraodinary match, the best match for a master final
Right when I was playing indoors I do more of a straight back it wouldn't be much of a loop you know small semi circular loop and I was doing real well because they're just isn't time if the courts are super fast but if the courts are slow like clay then you can have a big loop because that's more advantageous for hitting top spit
You always need to take it back in a loop
Cheers from Leimen👌
Greetings! :)

Well I've seen pictures before and it's you hit through the ball and you smoothly come over the ball as you fall through to the other side some people just come upload a high and come up like shoulder to Chin but everybody has a little bit of different follow through even depending with it they're going to flick the rest over whether they keep a firm wrist and come up or they're hitting with their clothes racket face but some wrapping around their neck
Boris the ball boy. 🤣Great video ☺️

Boris Becker, the Legend
Absolutely, a true legend! Have you seen all of his episodes on TopLevelTennis.com? topleveltennis.com/courses/boris-becker-basics-are-paramount
What I'm thinking about is it's the timing where you take the ball I'm figured out that people take you know the top spin inside their body and then they flick the wrist over that's how the big time guys do it it really is about Jimmy area so they flick the hand over the wrist over the ball when they make contact hitting the ball inside they don't like slice balls that stay low that are wide and angled so there's always a weakness to every technique because something there's a way to counter every action so tennis becomes complicated but we do figure it out by set scores and playing people how well it how effective your technique is
wow being coached by boris becker
"that's why i don't play anymore" hahahaha, RESPECT!! GOOD TIPS!
I think it's their ability to mix it up in their tactics it depends how smart you are really I'm going to boils down to it if they know how to disguise their shots and mix it up so the opponent can't read them and that's really it's really intelligence when it boils down to it you got to be able to have a big variety of shots and no one to use them at the right time and that if you see a short ball you got to know whether you know approach shots into the corner and you have to move quickly and get set up and it's all about getting set up quickly and anticipating early
The Legend
Sure! We recommend to watch his whole course: topleveltennis.com/courses/boris-becker-basics-are-paramount
If this man says hit the ball in front , I should do it 😅
"schatzilein" is the best!
Boris reminds me a lot of Nick Faldo in golf. Both were very quiet steely competitors during their careers but have let their personalities show through after their retirements.
Absolutely. You will have to see how he discusses with young tennis players today's mentality, approaches to having a coach, tennis lifestyle, and so on. You will find more details here: topleveltennis.com/courses/boris-becker-basics-are-paramount
Some other coaches said that starting with the elbow up is grong!¡ There is to much information on the internet
Thank you so much sir.
Pls suggest us more corrections Boris sir.
You can learn from his tips just now by watching his course on TopLevelTennis.com. :)
I keep waiting for Boris to snag that racquet from that young guy and “Boom-Boom!”
I wanted to see how you hit your big loopy forehand Boris!
Hope my question gets answered. Is a perfect forehand swinging/throwing the racquet along the trajectory of the ball as long as possible while making sure that racquet face is perpendicular to the ground? Of course we decide the trajectory of the ball as the game situation demands! Be it heavy topspin or flat forehand! The windshield wiper motion happens naturally as a result of keeping arm and wrist loose?
Hi Parvatha, thank you for the question! Actually, when you keep your arm and wrist loose, you cannot fully control your shot, whether it is a flat or topspin. In some parts of your swing, you have to keep tight your arm or wrist. If you make hundreds of forehands and when you practice your technique, you will not think about it - you will do that automatically. It is what Boris is saying in his whole course - practice, practice, and once again - practice, until you will not have to think about technique while you will make a shot.
@@TopLevelTennisOfficial Thank you for the reply. I will follow your advise
It gets good record he's very loose relaxed and gets 2 minutes where I could head speed a lot better than most players he's more fluid than a lot of players that's great because that rocket had speed produces a lot of power
Hi boris👍💯
Hi Rasheed! :)
Oh yeah that guy's got a lot of power more than I've seen at the college level even top college players don't hit as well as that guy that guy is has the potential of going professional definitely or being professional you said a higher level that I seen locally here in California even at the top universities but he has potential
Douglas, thanks a lot for your comments, it is a great value for our discussion here about forehand. :)
Problems are so many different ways to hitting the forehead people have the racket closed some people have a semi open stance some people putting with clothes stance some people hit flats some people at top some are hitting slice for hands you know there's so many different variations a loopback swing a straight back swing you know different ways of stepping straight into the ball stepping it at a 45° angle so many different ways to hit the tennis ball and you have to discover what works best in an actual situation that's the only way you know
"That's why I don't play anymore" 😂😂😂
Boris Du bist echt mega!!
I can never have the foot below my racquet hand behind and follow through. I always use that foot to plant myself and then swing through. Many players like Nadal do this too.
That´s the open stance. Everybody when using open stance, plants the racket foot first. Even Rod Laver in the 70´s did that way.
@@miguelbarahona6636 It's just confusing because every tennis forehand tutorial on youtube tells you to use the foot opposing the racquet hand to plant, and swing through. So for example, if you are right handed, tutorials will tell you to plant your left and use that as the pivot point when you swing through with your racquet hand and right foot rotating.
Federer 2005 - Best Forehand of all time.
The foundation is FOOT WORK....
Tom Okker's forehand was a money maker..
Boris Becker is a good looking fella
Man’s got some serious stature.
Protect what backhand, Boris? I seem to remember you blasting away winner after winner off both wings!
In his course he made an episode about forehand too! Check it out: topleveltennis.com/courses/boris-becker-basics-are-paramount
I assume, "Tennis is a moving sport" ... ;)
Yeah but you're a powerful attacking player that a very good serve you can probably well participate and you can really Hammer that flat shot right at the pony or hit it down the line and mix it up but that top's been very smooth so yeah and your prime you are the top one two or three in the world at one time so it's very hard to stay at the top number one but you were constantly in the top five there for a while so yeah you just have you're tall with six four a lot of strength lot of power smooth and very much of a attacking player you like to come up to net and you take it you attack those short balls approach so more of a full court game rather than just stay in the baseline like a Bjorn Bora core lindley even stayed back you volleyed a lot more than than the majority
i still choke at the lost bet i made in the 95 Wimb Final that Boris would win.
Put a racquet in Boris’s hand. Great player.
