His strokes are just amazing. It's hard to think of anyone who gets so much work on the ball, but also strikes it so cleanly. His backhand is a totally offensive shot. His forehand blurs time. When he is on, he must be a nightmare to play. A deep run at a slam is coming for him. His game is just ferocious. One of my favorite players to watch right now.
@Simon Locke so you think NADAL has not improved aspects of his game? Compare '05 nadal with '17 nadal! Shapo is unreliable but he has a lot to work on!
Federico Russo exactly he doesn’t develop the point well enough, goes for shots that aren’t there, as important as form and technique is the iq has to be there.
He just flows through the court setting up his FH or BH.. that separation he gets on the FH is awesome and then he can light up a bh anytime. awesome video again, thanks for sharing.
@@JacksonWalter735 dragon ball z fusion. It’s an anime concept lol. Basically two combining to one I think, I don’t watch the show myself but have heard things about it.
I’ve never ever seen a player play as smoothly and as effortlessly as Federer. But Shapapolov is extremely close. He hits the ball so cleanly with minimal effort. I’ll be rooting for Denis hard after Roger retires.
lavaman233 are you the tennis police or something? Let fans support whichever player they want for whatever reason they want. It’s really none of your business which players someone else supports.
The ball just launches off of his racquet. His technique is so efficient. He’s so light on his feet and then quiet as a still life at contact both sides. Best 1 handler lefty I’ve ever seen.
Aserve Yout I hit w a one hand backhand, make sure you use the right grip, bring your racquet back far, early and low, then when you swing think as if you’re pulling a sword out of a sheath and lastly make sure to follow through fully to put topspin on it. Go try it out! Good luck!
The 2 handed backhand can be an equally beautiful stroke with the right technique. Check out some clips of Marat Safin or David Nalbandian. Their 2 handed backhands are beautiful.
Makes it look effortless. Great balance, anticipation and lag on the swings making the racket generate that pop. Looks like he's got an impressive wingspan which certainly helps many facets of the game.
He has the shots to win slams, but not the mental game. I'd be very surprised if he wins a slam tbh, especially since other talents are starting to surpass him in success.
He seems like he would be a GS winner, but something keeps holding him back. He's one of my favorite newer players but I would have expected him to break through by now. Hopefully soon.
12kgp iPhone X? 1080p 60fps? You recorded it so wide, but I imagine that the court itself is very long and you had space to do it, right? Great video btw
iPhone X in 4k 60fps (you need to use Chrome browser to be able to watch in 4k). Wide angle lens (which is the default lens for the iPhone, not the tele). I normally use FilmicPro to shoot video at max bitrate (FilmicExtreme) since it's better than the stock iOS camera app, but I shot all of my IW videos with the stock camera app because using FilmicPro at max bitrate is a big battery hog. The distance from the baseline to the back fence/wall at many of the practice courts at IW isn't that much longer than normal tennis courts.
Wired he has a team helping him feedings the balls etc. However it feels like his hitting partner is on a completely different level compared to Shapovalov. Proably better he practices like Nadal e.g versus two players to up the intensity.
I know that Dennis is young and doesn't have the consistency of the top 5 or so, but man I love his natural fluidity of the strokes. Federer is almost as fluid.

Unfortunately that's exactly his issue. He doesn't know when to slow down. Tennis is not all about winners. But I agree beautiful strokes.
@Simon Locke Have you ever heard of the word "improvement" ? He's only 20, stop bullshiting

@Simon Locke bet he'd spank you though Simon
This guy's backhand is just amazing !
it's a fun shot, but it breaks down like crazy under pressure. we'll see if he can fix that.
It's really beautiful to see
My backhand is better
Leo P72 ok
Leo P72 ok
His strokes are absolutely Beautiful.
So smooth and explosive. Best looking strokes on tour today
Nice to see a youngster with a powerful one handed backhand. Too many two handers nowadays
Indian Wells 2020 isn't that far away - let me know what players you would like to see video of
Basilashvili,Berrettini and Swiatek(Woman),please!!
Shapo, Kohlschreiber and Hurkacz It would be great to see them
Federer
Rublev
Medvedev
Every shot is so powerful yet effortless. I'm trying to get like that lol
Well you can if you play 3 hours everyday for 5 years straight practicing as intense as he does. It's not possible for the rest of us - too much work.
@@nsebast Lol that's facts!
Good form/strokes and a heavy racket, both static and swing weight will get you some of that.
@@nsebast obviously not everybody can reach this level. He is such an talented player
He just flows through the court setting up his FH or BH.. that separation he gets on the FH is awesome and then he can light up a bh anytime. awesome video again, thanks for sharing.
If Federer and Nadal did the oll DBZ fusion ha.
Ahem that's actually Thiem.
floppeur89 that’s incorrect. Thiem has his own style
What's DBZ fusion?

@@collinnguyen4523 ahhhh I see. Thanks so much for the explanation.
Sweet backhand form
He's very springy and fluid like an iOS animation.
@@AustinConlon lol yeah
The ping sound of his racquet is addicting..
Now that's hitting "through" the ball. What a beautiful sound.
I’ve never ever seen a player play as smoothly and as effortlessly as Federer. But Shapapolov is extremely close. He hits the ball so cleanly with minimal effort. I’ll be rooting for Denis hard after Roger retires.

lavaman233 LOL. You must be fun at parties
lavaman233 I was asleep when you commented you idiot. And unlike you, I have a life.
One hand backhand is so CLASSIC! I love it and those who plays that.
I just changed mine for my senior year. I like it so far!
The ball just launches off of his racquet. His technique is so efficient. He’s so light on his feet and then quiet as a still life at contact both sides. Best 1 handler lefty I’ve ever seen.
Wished i had learned one handed back hand instead. It looks so free and smooth and the form for one handed back hand look so beautiful.
Aserve Yout I hit w a one hand backhand, make sure you use the right grip, bring your racquet back far, early and low, then when you swing think as if you’re pulling a sword out of a sheath and lastly make sure to follow through fully to put topspin on it. Go try it out! Good luck!
@@kylesmith9048 Thanks man, i'll definitely give it a shot when im out practicing.
The 2 handed backhand can be an equally beautiful stroke with the right technique. Check out some clips of Marat Safin or David Nalbandian. Their 2 handed backhands are beautiful.
Roshan Sreedhar no 2 handed backhand is beautiful, quite an ugly shot to be honest, nothing compares to the elegance of a single hander
@@jchneo26 i agree the only pure 2 handed backhand i ever saw was Chris Evert, although Nalbandian very close
His strokes are as elegant as fed
Everybody listen very carefully to the sound of the shapo´s forehand, it is so satisfying
No dampener
Dennis has one of the most beautiful forehands.
He is going to crack top ten soon 👍🇨🇦
this is a perfect meditation
2:54 RIP BUG LOL
Audible obscenity warning Mr. Ćorić hahaha at 2:57, unbelievable
Use a semi colon on the time so it can take us right there.
@@smokinjoe4684 ; is a semi colon

This video is clearer than my eyesight
So groovy naturally..my favorite player

I could watch Shapo all day
SHAPOVALOV is my favorite player
Court level views are great to watch.
his coach looks like some guy he just met on the street
1:38 Nicely done Wawrinka :D
A lot of body action in this mans groundstrokes!!!
😴😴😴
Wish this vid was longer. Nice to fall asleep to the sounds
Remember this comment when he starts winning slams.
Bruh ur not the only one who thinks he will win slams
It won't be any time soon after watching this video.
Still waiting...
He has the shots to win slams, but not the mental game. I'd be very surprised if he wins a slam tbh, especially since other talents are starting to surpass him in success.
wish TV would broadcast this pov during matches …
Gotta love the single backhand!!!
Great footwork!
All you junior players should copy his style.. you will automatically win more games just by keeping the footwork going.
I like his forehand
When you watch it, the ball comes slow, then you try it and the ball comes like a missile.
Does anybody have a Link to buy the shirt?
Timng is superb when the take back is early
It’s so beuteafull 🥺
Hope that nice and talented guy gonna be next super star. Actually I do think that Shapovalov, Zverev, Auger Auliseme going to dominate soon.
His left arm is twice bigger than his right arm
Yiaong Zhang his arms are bigger than my legs haha
Kyle Smith lol
Its called a Pump from using the muscles soo much on that one arm
i think its the same to every tennis player
Have you seen Federer
I want to wear Westbrook to play tennis as well since I watched this.
A one-handed left backhand 😍
Super smooth easy power action.
You can tell the difference in the shot immediately when his stance is the correct one.
He seems like he would be a GS winner, but something keeps holding him back. He's one of my favorite newer players but I would have expected him to break through by now. Hopefully soon.
Ready to LOOSE. This POKEMON is on fire :D
Wow this guy got a really sweet forehand and backhand . He will win grand slams
Really like Shaps backhand. Puts a hurt on the ball.
Super quality
On handed back hand, lefty forehand with nadal style and serve, using a yonex. He is great combination of warinka and nadal
beautiful moves, would be great if it stops him from dropping out 1st round in GS
did u shoot this in the gopro 7 black?
Just my iPhone with some minor editing on LumaFusion app

Who was the practice partner?
He’s still very young. I expect big things from him in a few years when the tour gets back on track.
What tension is he on ?amazing
So beautiful
can someone upload this mirrored. mechanics/form is easier to see if the person you’re watching is handed the same as you imo
The most artistic player imo. He needs to level up to compete with top 5 though.
躍動感有って良い。
I actually think the left hander hitting it back to Shapovalov is almost as good.
Racquet sounds super heavy. Anyone know the specs?
I am a lefty. Denis is a lefty. I am trying to learn a few things from this video breaking his technique down frame by frame.
Topspin machine
I like to think that Shapo is me had I gone pro. We basically have similar strokes and playing style
Who is Shapovalov's hitting partner in this vid?
I believe it is his coach
@@HeihachiMishimaIsDead Thanks
Nice video !!
Does someone know Shapovalov's shoe model? Thanks!
Nike Vapor X in Toronto Raptors color way. Player exclusive and not available to public
12kgp the vapour X are available to public, but not Denis’s shoes
You can find the gear every players are wearing in their ATP profile : www.atptour.com/en/players/denis-shapovalov/su55/overview
He's all legs!
Honestly I think he could hit the ball more in front of him and step forward too for his forehand, thoughts anyone?
i think contact point is perfect.. but yes he could go with his whole body more forwards ..besides this the forehand is worldclass
This is my new form. Bigger swing.
Are yonex racquets good? Are they designed for players that have flexible wrists?
wish I was that talented too
he's very springy and bouncy
Maybe club players can take some inspiration from that guy. I've seen a lot of flat footed at the rec level...
Great potential.
Is he thunder fan?
Andre Agassi always stands near the baseline but this guy stands three feet behind the baseline. Why?
陽キャ
Who's Dennis' Hitting Partner？
A bit late, but it is Peter Gojowczyk. I think so.
ちょーかっけぇ。
+12kgp What is the camera used for this video?
Just an iPhone X
Check out 2:57 is that Djokovic screaming "jebem ti mater" ? classic!!!
Acuna mattata
Why he is practicing with a dinker?
his backhand might be prettier than rogers
カメラワークが真正面過ぎて球の軌道が見辛いのが惜しい
His racket makes a strange sound...
Wired he has a team helping him feedings the balls etc. However it feels like his hitting partner is on a completely different level compared to Shapovalov. Proably better he practices like Nadal e.g versus two players to up the intensity.
What grip does shapovalov use on his forehand? Does anyone know?
I guess the semi-western
same as djoko, nadal and murray
wtf? it is definitely western !no doubt. it's definitely not simi western
I think he has all the tools Stephanos has except a strong net game
VCOREの95inchなのにどーしてこんな飛びが良いんだ？伸びもすごいし。
It amazes me how good he is, but still can't win. It's like a luxury car that looks really nice but doesn't have much performance
He lacks experience.
are u actually stupid? what were u doing at ur age?
@@girards015 Relax dude, I'm not better than him it's just my opinion. Players are allowed to play and spectators are allowed to have thoughts.
Hits forehand too late but getting there
Shapovalov is the new wasted talent of the next generation. Top 3 potential, but doesn't really get there. I had high hopes of him 4-5 years ago
I know that Dennis is young and doesn't have the consistency of the top 5 or so, but man I love his natural fluidity of the strokes. Federer is almost as fluid.
I love this sport, but I hate what it does to the body when you are playing a lot.. look at his arms...
No real weapons, but rock solid
He needs to step into his one handed BH more.
Dennis shots on top but I like returns of his partner
