Hey Karue, please have an interview with Marcos about playing Nadal. I would love to hear from Marcos about what the challenges are when you have to face one of the GOATs of tennis.
Was going to ask for the same thing
Same! I would love that
I third that. That would be fascinating
That would be awesome. I watched their whole match, Giron pulled off some incredible shots, but overall Nadal's intensity was too much to sustain a battle over a best of 5 match.
Great idea
Love all episodes with Marcos! Cool insights about his experience with Rafa. And useful parallel views from two cams of the talking player:) Great job \m/
Glad you like it! More videos to come! =)
@@MyTennisHQ You guys have the right timing, preparing the swings while the ball is still crossing the net. That's the timing that I use for hitting those penetrating balls. And I always watch the bounce of the ball to see what height the ball is if I can flatten it all out or just hit it back normal.. But many rec club players unfortunately have late timing with the ball and let the bounce get up too high because of having poor late racquet preparation Late timing causes them difficulties in hitting back the ball or they hit weak loopy short balls.
Giron is awesome! Glad you are friends with him and can give us ATP content!!
It would be interesting content to see Giron review and comment on his match with Nadal. What he was thinking throughout the match
This would be truly epic.
Great idea, I would 100% watch that video.
would be amazing
I like Giron. Watched him play a few times and his tips today are great. I like his forehand as well. Hits very flat. Not obsessed with topspin. Hope he drops by more often. Thanks.
+1 for footwork. i find that focusing on the kneebend and over-preparation with the feet helps me the most when it comes to timing. unless i am sleep deprived and then im just screwed
The same goes for me. I'm always sleep deprived tho so I am always lazy with my feet.
Thank you for the footwork hint, I will focus on it.
What a great video and I haven't even finished the intro yet 😂
I was so luck to meet Marcos right after his match against Rafa and I watched Mackies match next to Marcos!
I told him about how I loved the POV video you guys made! Amazing experience, I was in shock because I didn't realise it was him at first😂
Knowing that Rafa made history at the AO and Marcos was part of that, and I got to speak to him poof, mind blown 🤯
Greetings from the tiny Caribbean island of Curacao, Karue. Many thanks for uploading this. When you say that we will find original content or content we will not find anywhere else, you were not kidding. This is simply awesome and educational. Many thanks to Marcos. I really appreciate this. All the best to you both! Cheers, J.
Was just at Delray and watched the full Giron vs. Sandgren match. Marcos won in straight sets, but definitely played better in the back half of the match. Great to see him playing well. Also, seems very humble and appeared to be a genuinely nice person. Quite a role model, working through the multiple surgeries, working hard on the court, etc. Hope he continues to progress.
I have been using this 'hit the ball at the peak' during matches, with the 90/10 rule and really hitting through the ball more. It has really stopped the noise in my head, improved my feet, awareness, and damned if the ball doesn't really penetrate the court so well. I had a guy with a huge serve tonight, and I was on TOP of that big serve and the returns were safe, hard, and consistent. I was thinking clearly---normally, I chip and slice, and am definitely not on top of the ball moving forward. The difference was like being in someone else's body playing. Thank you both so much.
This video helped me so much. My dad always tells me things like this but with you it just clicked in my head. I tried it on court and my game sky rocketed. THANK YOU MARCOS!!!
Duuuuuuuuuuuuudeeeeeeeee!!! Thank you soooooo much to bring us all close (1 degree!) albeit via video, to the Gods of the sport (Nadal & Co.) by having their opponents coming to do videos with you... ❤ from Wimbledon, England!
Marcos strokes sound so raw without dampener, can't imagine myself not using one.
This was a great tip indeed. I was extremely off today, definitely lazy footwork, bad attitude, not following through. Backhand was terrible, I shanked more than the ones I hit clean, and the rest were just off centered. Even my eyes were lazy.
Will focus on these 2 tips, hitting at the peak to move my ass and track the ball seeing how it bounces. Thanks!
This is a phenomenal video - I love learning about tennis, I'm going to be trying this as soon as I hit the court next. Thank you for the great content!
This is such brilliant advice. Focused on taking the ball at it's apex while playing today and it did wonders for getting my timing and footwork in sync right from the start. Definitely making this idea a priority for warm ups from now on!
Love watching Marcos play and was rooting for him at the Australian Open!! Not sure how people even beat Rafa in a best 5 set match tho :(
Superb especial edition like a Chritsmas one!!!. So valuable from Marcos. I've see him a lot throughout 2021 in Tennis TV. I can say he's made a very good progress with notable results in some tournaments advancing to QF or more especially after USO.
Excellent guidesline !.
I am definitely watching a lot more of Marcos' matches lately. Go Marcos!
Great advice and pointers that translates well to all level of players! Thanks to both of you for this video with very open, approachable, thoughts and advice.
This tip has helped me immensely! Especially for my timing when moving up to a short ball to attack. Thanks for the great information...
I'm at the Delray Open. Just watched Marcos break Sandgren and then Sandgren break his racket. Very nice of Marcos to participate in this video. He's a great player!
This is great, having two camera angles to see how an ATP player hits the ball. Nice insights from Giron.
What a lot of players who haven’t come up in the sport with coaching along the way is footwork.
It’s so crucial!
Everyone watches the strokes but watch the feet you’ll learn even more.
v true
The commentary during rallies is really nice, it is as if you can read the mind of Marcos. It would also be great/helpful to hear where the power is coming from, e.g. "ah the shoulder rotation feels great"or "the legs just give me so much power in this shot" or how to direct the shot.
first of all: marcos is hitting without dampener and this is amazing, relatable. Im loving those videos with him, hes just so outspoken
Yes. His videos are dope!!!
Love the side by side video style... Vamos Marcos!
Thank you especially for the camera angles, teaching us how to hit the ball
Just watched Marcos’s incredible run at the Dallas open. Well done!
Excellent instruction per usual! Thanks for the consistently exceptional content!
Thanks fellas! This helped immensely today on the courts!
Cheers!
This is awesome to see and hear the thoughts of the pros. Good stuff MyTennisHQ!
Thanks!
This is the best tennis channel by far! Amazing content and insights. Thanks Karue!
THanks! =)
Great tips you guys. Love taking the ball at its peak!!!
I love seeing people who are in the literal top 100 in the world at what they do giving their time to pass on knowledge to the rest of us amateurs. I wish retired ATGs gave their time in this way, would be such a priceless gift. And Marcos seems super cool too.
Hey Karue, I ran into Marcos at Dallas Open and asked him if you were there. He smiled and said no. I told him that I love your videos because it tells the young players about your thought process during the point play (referring to the ones where you both talk). He laughed and thanked and talked a bit. Absolutely delighted to meet such a humble, friendly human being!
This is absolutely amazing. Love Marcos, and the fascinating takeback of his forehands are legendary. You're pretty awesome yourself K.
Thank you so much for this!
MM
thank you!
Just Watched Marcos playing Felix A.A. I’m very impressed by his playing! So glad for him reaching the SF in Tokio. I saw him first on your channel, Karou, never saw him playing as a Tennis Pro. All the best for him! Think he‘s gonna make to the top 30 ⬆️⬆️, And thanks for your top Tennis content!
Thanks for sharing this video. Got insights from a match I watched on TV 2 weeks ago rooting for Marcos Giron, whose performance I've been following thanks to Karue and he hitting with him many times on this Channel. Nadal jumped all over him at the beginning and during all the 1st set but then things leveled up and Giron caught his timing, but was forced to lose it as the match went on under Nadal´s pushing and pushing as he often successfully does.
Nice analysis. What year was that?
@@greg.kusnierz That match was Jan 17th 2022 Australian Open First Round 6-1 6-4 6-2 win for Nadal
Sweet. Thanks!!!
Had to get in that last winner, didn't you! ;-) Something my son does to me - whether it's on the tennis court or at the end of a 20kay run - he will always bust me in the last 100m. Great vid and thank you. If my timing drifts in comp tonight, I'll try to incorporate this great wisdom. Excellent channel and a new sub from Sydney, Aust. Cheers and thanks - Dave
Great fight in the Semi's at the DO from Giron!!!! I feel like I actually know Marcos when I'm watching him play because of seeing him on your channel!!! Haha
very cool to have pros on the channel. thank you very much.
Very helpful, Canoe! Will go try this today. And yes, Marcos is a cool guy ✊
You know it’s a big pleasure to watch you guys’ groundstroke!
thank you!
Loved this!
Watching this before going to AJC (African Jr Championships) and it will definitely help me out in the tournament thank you guys for an amazing video
Great video please more of these videos !
Nice video guys, thanks both!
awesome video! thank you
I like Marcos' backhand. on his follow through it seems as though he is light on his toes. wish I could be so effortless
Track the ball with your eyes - great piece of advice. I'll look at the ball, but often I'm not closely tracking it all the way to the racquet.
Maaaaan! To be able to hit the ball like this consistently? Amazing! Thank you! 🎾🙏
Me and my sister have been following Marcos since his breakout year at Indian wells. He is a great all court player with a great personality. Looking forward to seeing him play in March
Awesome!!
My favorite tennis channel!
I like watching Marcos and Kyle M. practice. They know each other’s games and just blast away.
brilliant vid, many thanks x
love to see and listen to Marcos in these videos, great player and seems very nice guy, wish he makes good runs in the next tournaments this year (and has better draws)
Better draws!!
Nice of Marcos to acknowledge even small errors, that was helpful
Great advice, thanks😊
Fantastic content as always. Funny you asked Marcos about what it was like to play Nadal. I had sent Clay a text asking him what Marcos said about playing Nadal! 🤣
Watched Marcos play Nadal live, always tough drawing Rafa in first round! His passing shots were ombelievable, inside out forehand was also sensational. Marcos played well but Nadal just had all the answers. Does not feel real to watch Nadal live so can't imagine the mental challenge actually playing him.
Thank you for this amazing video !!!
- love from a tennis player who’s to broke to have private lessons that everyone else in my clinic has
Love Marcos's groundstrokes. Great content!
thank you!
정말 유용한 영상 감사합니다. 시간 있을 때마다, 영상보면서 이미지 트레이닝하고 있습니다. 제가 제일 좋아하는 테니스 채널입니다.
Thank you for the useful video. Whenever I have time, I watch videos and do image training.
It's my favorite channel related to tennis.
Very cool, watching this the day after Marcos beat Rune in Toronto!
Very, very helpful. A gift--thank you.
Keep doing what you're doing Karue, no one else that plays with the elite are making videos like this! You got my support years ago but I can tell you're just stepping things up!
thank you! Will keep up for sure
Thanks Gents, enjoyed watching and the tips to get my game better.
happy we could help
I am coming back to the game after several years off, and timing and footwork obviously suffered. I am definitely trying these tips next time out
Another great video
Hi Karue and Marcos! I just saw Marcos win a doubles match with Brandon Nakashima in Dallas 7-5, 7-5. Really great seeing you come to Dallas! Good luck in the tournament! I heard Naomi Osaka was present Sunday, I was keeping my eyes out for you Karue!
I went Mon, Tues, Wed evenings and I’ll be there Fri during the day.
That was really helpful thank you 😊
Karue with that crispy video content. Love the advice of taking the ball at peak
Glad you liked it!
@@MyTennisHQ I like the tip for me personally. But as a coach myself, would you say this is a good tip for every level. I really love your content but I do think that you could maybe specify every time you give tips to whom it applies. It might be misleading otherwise. Because taking the ball after the highest point, when it is coming down again is surely easier, so better suited for beginners. The ball then loses pace and the timing is a lot easier because the ball is in line with the stroke (ball coming down, racket moving up, as apposed to hitting the ball on the rise). Again, love the content. But maybe specify to which level it applies?
Guys.. don’t underestimate this importance of this video. It has literally changed-up my game significantly overnight!
Karue you’re an amazing inspiration
Great tips, I love it
Nice guy.
To have played a legend like Rafal is certainly special. The difference is colossal (as he found out in Melbourne), but Marcus is a great player too.
Under-appreciated channel.
Great stuff! Thanks for this content!
My pleasure!
Watched the match v Nadal. Marcos had lots of amazing points! Very impressed. But yeah tough playing him first round.
Such a humble guy loved him
Another great job. While you are hitting I feel that I am hitting there with you. Wonderful to see. Thanks a lot. 👍
Great work guys, useful and precise. Thanks.
You are welcome
Very good tips from you, guys !!, thank you !!
Thanks for watching!
Now I start to like Giron. I will follow your matches. If you could do an interview before and after each tournament it will be great. This will help us be insight the pro's world. Thanks.
Unique Content. Awesome Channel. Thanks.
This is top tier content, really good stuff :)
Glad you enjoyed!
Valuable tips
In my last tournament I really tried to move towards the ball and take the ball early. I played this opponent already before, a lefty who played quite aggressively if I played too passive. I won against him in the semifinal in the club tournament, but during a training match he won a set against me. Now we played again in the final in another tournament, and I was really focused on taking the ball early and moving forward as much as possible.
It went well for me. In the first game I even played a volley backhand topspin from the t line, something I never did before in my “career”. Every time I was struggling in the match it was because I was waiting too long and not moving well.
Thanks buddy for the video! From which part of Brazil are you? I am from Curitiba, Paraná, but living in Switzerland since 1988.
great tips thank you
This is really helpful. I somehow never use my feet, Sometimes I am just stuck in the court, not using my feet and
totally mess up the shots.
Awesome content! Thanks guys. I was rooting for Nadal the whole tournament ECXEPT the first round. Thanks for sharing your ideas guys!
hahah awesome!
Love this!
Karue, we are watching you not move your feet while watching Marcos constantly move his!!!
Lolol I was trying to illustrate de difference between moving and not moving, you know?
Bro.....played tennis in college (d2) so nothing special at all but NEVER was coached to hit the ball at its peak. First time I have ever heard it in 44 years. Wow. Cant wait to get out there and try it.
How weird a racquet without damper sounds. We are all used to use it. Nice job guys, love the content.
It’s great tip to hit the ball at its top of the bounce to move your feet during warmup itself. Great video again.
Precisely. It is more about moving your feet than anything else
Karuê, to começando no tênis e caí de paraquedas nesse vídeo. Estudamos juntos no Colégio Marista em Jaraguá do Sul. Sucesso aí.
Marcos seems like a genuinely nice guy. Anyone in the top 100 is an accomplished player. He looks like Fed with a similar casual style. 🎾
Great way to see the stroke by two frame. Tks
Excellent video! My 0.02$ are: split step when opponent hit the ball, and always have eyes on the ball, especially during the contact.
Mr Giron you are a Gem
Nice vid
In all seriousness though this video is very informative, I'll certainly be working on and sharing this tip - thanks a lot
thank you!
