This sounds like a variation of the "approach down the line" maxim. In this case that low volley cross court gives your opponent too much room to pass. Volley it down the line instead and the opponent will have less room to pass you.
A very good and useful clip! In singles I always charge the net DTL, even without thinking. You're right that this player was lucky to have won this point! Something else: what strikes me with American explanations in general is that they are always so elaborate and repetitive. But to explain things only once like in this video would be perfectly understandable, wouldn't it? Don't take this as criticism bc I appreciated your video. But as a European I see this quite often. Might be a cultural thing. Anyway, looking forward to your next vid!
@@2MinuteTennis yeah. But in general, is it still good strategy to have a down the line volley when the return ball that low (especially forehand volley)? when the ball is that low or one bounce, down the line forehand volley may be on the net.
As beautiful as Nalbandian’s backhand is, he does seem to have the his racquet finish to the right of the V unlike Djokovic and Fritz. Is it fair to say that Nalbandian’s backhand is the more difficult and maybe more dangerous backhand for a recreational player to try to imitate? His hands seem to roll or change positions immediately after the ball strike - which demands better timing to than a Djokovic and Fritz style backhand.
Hmmm? You hit straight. The opponent has easy lob or short cross angle. You hit cross. You open down the line but the opponent has to make the down the line. The moment the opponent hits the below rhe knee volley, you are screwed. There’s no right answer here.
@@Timothy_Pitt Yeah and there’s still chance to hit killer drop half volley cross court. Even if the drop shot is not that great, it gets harder for the opponent to hit down the line . You have to pass higher part of the net down the line. It’s extremely difficult. I still believe cross court is the answer.

Thanks for watching Arthur. I always over explain. Definitely one of my many faults. Thanks!!
@@2MinuteTennis Probably bc of your enthousiasm 😉 And... better explaining too much than too little! Keep up the good work 👍🏻
I think the down the line volley is a more difficult skill..
Well now you have something to work on! 😊

@@ecosang88 you are correct. Low volleys/half volleys aren’t easy. But down the line gives you the best chance to win.
Wouldnt that give the opponent an easy lob?
How many feet from the net is GVP "good volly position"?
Can you please do a comparison of Djokovic’s and Nalbandian’s backhand?
I can only use videos I have permission to use. I don’t have permission to use any videos of nalbandian’s backhands.

I would think Ryan the guy that missed down the line I would suggest he would of wanted that shot back again?
Yes, straight ahead against a fast opponent. I play with all old dudes who would not chase that shot down.
In that case hitting into open court would be fine.
Lost it at "It's called GVP, Good Volley Position" LMAOOO 💀 💀
Glad you liked the video!!
How is that ball out?
It may look in, but that's bc of the camera angle.
Out
Hmmm?
You hit straight.
The opponent has easy lob or short cross angle.
You hit cross.
You open down the line but the opponent has to make the down the line.
The moment the opponent hits the below rhe knee volley, you are screwed. There’s no right answer here.
The right answer is down the line. 👍
You hit straight, & you are turning opponent inside out
Cross is better for lower net, no?
You are screwed, yes
Opponent has made good shot. Accept it, & move on
