Absolutely love Matt! Great coach, including ma man Ian.
Great video guys. Gabe is superbly cool and composed. Many can learn a thing or two from him for sure.
Cheers!

This video is WAY more instructive for a 3-3.5 level that your typical, "Learn from the pros" video. I have NO aspiration to be pro. I want to be a smart consistent 4.0-4.5.
Thanks for this!

[@alastairtheduke]

If I saw my opponent jump on strokes like Matt does, I'd feed that shot all day too.

[@jlook6070]

Great man Matt, he has a great heart of tennis. Could you win by just bashing the ball without ever going to the net?

[@hafadaze9046]

Yeah if you’re djokovic lol

[@SwagDawg]

​@@hafadaze9046 djokovic has been going to the net now more than ever

[@avintani]

What NTRP is Gabe, you think?

[@wkozwkoz6255]

instead of forehand to forehand - maybe it's even better to switch to (my) forehand to opponent's backhand rally?

[@regular_loser_5699]

If you and your opponent are both right (or left)-handed, you would be going down the line, which is a smaller target and more difficult to be consistent. If the down the line shot did not do enough damage, your opponent can play a backhand cross-court and stretch you. So unless your opponent's backhand is a big weakness, it is not likely to be the best strategy.
