I've seen about 6 or 7 of his practices now. Consistency is a bit all over the place... insane kick serve though. More side movement/kick after the bounce than anyone else I can recall in recent memory including peak Thiem's kick serve.
Just an old phone. Professional camera equipment isn't allowed including tripods. I also don't want to carry lots of camera equipment around the entire day + I try to be as discrete as possible and not draw any attention. Also for the main practice courts at the Citi Open like in this video, you have to shoot thru the holes in the fencing, which is a major pain especially when you have lots of fans leaning on the fence or tugging/pulling on it, which will mess up the shot. So vids from this tournament end up looking like trash and I hate them. I really hate the practice court setup at the DC/Citi Open and frankly don't want to go back to the tournament.
@@Skylimit67 Likely will just keep future vids from the Open to myself and not post them after last year and the hassle of dealing w/ the U$T@. Lol, I'll probably be booted out of the venue and this entire channel will vanish. I'll leave it to others to post videos like @proTennisPhotos who does real good work at the USO and hope you guys will watch them and support their channel and other tennis channels as well, all of which help promote the sport
@@12kgpTennis not aware of the specifics but I am assuming you got flak for posting footage of the US Open. Sorry to hear. Good to know for others who were considering putting up footage. I have a bunch from years past but what you said gives me pause. I follow @protennisphotos. Great channel.
Eubanks 1 hander is smooth. I feel like he hit his serve flat and though he has MPH it is somewhat easier to return than a serve with more spin. I feel if Eubanks develops that he can remain solidly in the top 10.
definitely does*, especially on the backhand. he is absolutely just pushing and bunting it he's clearly relied on his serve and occasional explosiveness to get through the likes of the top 20, but he's going to need much more to compete consistently with top pros
Idk where he'll be ranked, but Shelton's serve is going nowhere for the next ~15 years. Best motion I've seen since Raonic (Ruud/Berrettini's are nice though), who would've been the same type of presence on tour without the injuries.
Hi @12kgp-Tennis, May I re-use some footage from your channel for stroke analysis and tactical commentary? I will always link back and credit you in the description and give a shoutout. I am small now but hopefully will grow well. Thank you in advance! - Malhar

That was fun to watch. Thanks for posting!
Smooooth. Love watching pros practice court side
Jeez, what a kick serve at 3:00.
Gorgeous technique too
Shelton is one of those who can serve aces with kick serve
kicking over 201cm tall eubanks on slow east coast hc isn't easy
nice! please please more Eubanks! and slo mo too! 🙂
Thanks for the video!
1:40 omg look at the kick on that serve. Eubanks is 6ft7in.
*edit and 3:00 its even better!
Ben shelton serve is amazing
that was a fun watch. thanks
Good viewing angle to learn how the pros hit their forehands.
I think I might’ve been standing right next to you ha. Such a great tournament and practice court setup
amazing angle!
You can hear Svitolina or Azarenka from here loolll
They’re on the court to the right
Azarenka was practicing with Cirstea on the next court on the right. Tiafoe was practicing with Mmoh on the left.
0:08 wtf Shelton is a literal loose cannon

It's just practice lol, watch medvedev, his practice consistency is worse than sheltons
Curious what camera you are shooting with? Do you use a gimbal or small tripod?

@@12kgpTennis ah interesting about DC. I’ll be at the US Open. Maybe see you there!

Not sure if Azarenka or Rick Flair on the next court over lol
Thanks!! Was this before or after Shelton lost?
Was a couple days before he lost to Jerry Shang
Ben Shelton may have some technical flaw in his groundstrokes that makes him very inconsistent from the baseline, hope a good coach can fix his issue.
definitely does*, especially on the backhand. he is absolutely just pushing and bunting it
he's clearly relied on his serve and occasional explosiveness to get through the likes of the top 20, but he's going to need much more to compete consistently with top pros
Big foe on the left
Gator vs Yellow Jacket

Berrettini ?? He is a good player but has a super awkward service motion.
Eubanks got some skinny legs! LOL
No, he's just flat out skinny 😂
