    Good video, coach Meike. It would be interesting to compare Carlos’s and Federer’s forehand. I think they are quite similar.

    In the later clips both players are actually pushed back by balls with pace. Both players use the buggy whip likely because it allows the ball to be taken a bit later without detrimental effects.

    Alcaraz and Kecmanovic are in a forehand slaughter fight. 105mph vs 103 mph. Just crazy tennis between the two.

    Interesting how Alcaraz’s racquet faces upward after making contact in the second clip. What can we take away from that? Great analysis, Meike!

    • @MeikeBabelTennis
      @MeikeBabelTennis  2 года назад +1

      It does actually for a lot of players but usually we can't see it in real love bc it's so fast. As long as you have it slightly closed or neutral on contact point, you're good.

    An interesting difference is the elbow position. Nadal bends it downwards in the preparation whereas Alcaraz bends his more backwards. How does that affect their swings?

    Very similar heavy topspin forehands, but what really puzzles me about Nadal is how he flattens out a forehand in mid-rally and gives the defender something else to deal with. is he making a grip change, or is his follow through different.

    • @srvrtn21
      @srvrtn21 2 года назад +3

      The grip stays the same but it’s the follow through. He tends to hit across his body (flatten the ball) during practice sessions/depending how the ball is as well, but more so the former.

    • @MeikeBabelTennis
      @MeikeBabelTennis  2 года назад +2

      a genius at work. I agree with SRV&RTN. The grip stays the same.
