i have no idea why youtube decided to put this video on my home page, but your technique is very good, good luck!
mabye they thought you were grigor dimitrov
@@NeoVirusOfficial hahahahaha
You are the "Chosen one"
@@NeoVirusOfficial 🤣👍
Lol I am thinking the same!
Maybe the best part of her game is her return of serve. Overall she is a promising player and she definetely deserves a scholarship! Good luck Marina!
As a former collegiate coach. You will easily get a scholarship at any D2 college and many D1 colleges ranked primarily those below Top 50.
Love your forehand, decent serves. Most importantly love your instincts to attack the net. That really cannot be taught easily.
Swinging volleys are very good.
Solid backhand!
Technique on backhand volley is not right, I think it’s the grip. But don’t hit conventional volleys. Swinging volleys are just fine. Footwork is good.
You will do well and get a great free education in the USA 🇺🇸
Best of Luck.
right.....very aggressive for the forehand..
Since you were a coach, do you think 29 is to old to get into tennis. I recently started watching tennis and I'm honestly surprised at how much I enjoy it. I played college baseball so I don't know if that helps a little lol.
@@BK_VIC never too late to get into tennis. i coach people who are well into their 50's.
I don't really see what's wrong with the backhand volley. I used to play Tennis semi-professionally and her technique seems ok to me. Perhaps her wrist is a bit wobbly at some point but other than that I don't know. Can anyone point it out so I (and anyone else) can improve it?
@@janshkreli2172 grip appears to be slightly changing to more of a backhand grip and the contact point is too far in front of her body, meaning too close to the net. She needs to keep the continental grip, pivot at the hips to get more should er turn, and let the head of the racquet head drop, or lay back, to more even with her left shoulder.... former college player, and coach, still coaching high level juniors for 20 years now... other strokes look solid, but I agree with above, that backhand volley could use some work
Feb 8, 2022, she was selected by Charleston Southern University. EXCITING NEWS!!!
Head Coach Anca Dumitrescu and CSU Women’s Tennis Team are excited to announce the signing of Marina Skegro to the class of 2022!
The Zagreb, Croatia native has found much success on the court in her early career, including a national doubles championship at U16 and a finalist at U18. The list continues as Skegro was most recently a finalist at the J4 Siroki Brijeg tournament in singles and took home the hardware in the doubles competition in late January.
Skegro comes into the month with a singles ranking of 454 by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) in the Junior Rankings.
"I am very excited to welcome Marina to our program in the fall," said Coach Anca Dumitrescu. "She is a very talented player, a great student and a great person. She will bring a lot of depth to our team as we look to get better and better each year!"
bravo, bravo, marina 🤍 što god na kraju izabrala, slijedi svoje srce, ono te uvijek vodi prema tvojim snovima. 🌸
Marina, it's official. You've gone viral. Well done. And I hope you have offers flooding in. Welcome to the U.S.A.!
Love the forehand, perfect technique.
The forehand is money.
I like these promotional videos, they give some idea of a player's basic skills. Marina is obviously doing well. She also shows a little more variety in her shot-making than some of the other players in their videos.. Still, most of the players look easy meat for the specialist baseline players they will meet. It would be good to see them executing even more variety in their shot-making, if they are able to do that. For example, backhand and forehand slices, both attacking and defensive, and drop-shots, topspin lobs and other tools they will need to combat the ferocious baseliner.
Excellent and very solid technique. Great power and movement as well. I can see you taking this very far. Best of luck to you!
And cheers to the randomness of RUclips!
She hits with power with forehand or back hand. Very consistent compact swing. Well proportioned body, moves very well, solid and agile. I think we will be hearing more about Ms. Skegro in the future. Also needs to be said that on a lot of these demo videos the applicants coach makes it easy on them by hitting the ball to the middle of the Court almost every time. In this demo her coach/training partner seems to be moving her around the court quite a bit and challenging her which makes her play and strokes all the more impressive.
You've been well-coached and have a lot of potential. Find a good college program that will further develop your game, and most importantly, get a good education. Wish you the very best of luck!
Oh my!!! I love your forehands and backhands so so consistent and so good!
EXCELLENT TECHNIQUE! Hope you get a scholarship!! 👍👍👏👏🎾🎾🎾🎾
Pozdrav iz Srbije i srecno :)
this is why i love RUclips, your performance looks really good.
Best of luck!
🇺🇸Sombody better
hurry up and sign this girl!👍
MEN OF CULTURE, WE GATHER TOGETHER AGAIN !!!!!
we all know why we clicked anyway... cuz tennis is awesome
you are weird
Don't creep, dude
this Men of Culture shit is getting cringe
A complete player very nice forehand, serve and return. Also quite good play on net...go for more than a Scholarship!
Well done, that backhand's impressive!
Usually these types audition or pitch videos should be set as “unlisted” and you share the link privately.
That being said, I was so impressed with the desire and hunger in your voice. Everyone is talking about your technique, to me what comes across is hunger and desire. I could feel how much you want this scholarship, if you play every point with this kind of hunger, you’ll be a champion one day.
All the best. Looking forward to seeing your name one day on the main draw of a grand slam.
Yup i enjoyed, thank you
besides her tennis skills,i have to say she is really pretty :)
Just my observation and I am no expert by any means: The footwork and intensity looks great! Staying low, and always on the ball of her feet. The Open Stance FH return looks dynamic and great! If I wanted to be picky, I'd probably work with her on teh FH take-back to make it more compact: extend the elbow on take back, let if flow more. Otherwise, it looks good. The serve also looks good! She is between pin point and platform serve: Could possibly bring her right foot in, to make contact with left foot and kick off from there. But, over all it looks great! all in My opinion, and like I said, I am no expert - all though I am.... :)
The foot coming over on the serve is just preference. Djokovic and Fed don’t do it. But maybe it can help some people feel better.
Nitpicking just to show off some pseudo knowledge to the pretty girl. Shut up poser.
@@ssenssel ok buddy you need to calm down
extend the elbow on the take back??? That’s not how you’re going to make the forward more compact… Federer is one of the rare players who strikes with the elbow extended on impact, everyone else pretty much employs the double bend on the impact.
@@LEDsellers everyone except for zverev, Delpo, Dimitrov, Verdasco, Auger, Tsitsipas, okay my thumbs are getting tired lol
taking the ball on the rise from the backhand side is great!
i've watched closely your forehand, your hip rotation, your backhand, your hip rotation, your net game, your hip rotation and I don't know much about tennis, but i'm sure you can do great in a lot of different business! You have talent!
This is simply brilliant. Amazing technique
God knows why RUclips recommended this video, guess that means you’re going pro soon 😳😳
Strenghts: Good timing on groundstrokes, good ability to take the ball on the rise and take time away from opponent, good return, good racket head speed especially on forehand, good first serve accuracy, good awareness to come to the net
Weaknesess/Things to improve to put it nicely: Relatively flat shots which reduces your ability to pull your openents wide off the court, low net clerance overall and no kick serve as a second serve can cost you dearly on big points and when playing under pressure. Slow footwork/agility, floating backhand slice and bachand volley. Lack of varierty, lots of ball bashing and no incentive to proactively change angle, height, depth or pace of ball.
Overall impression: Promising D2 tennis player
I don't know why youtube recomended this video on my homepage, but good luck... you have a very solid forehand, i hope you find a good college!
This is some of the best point play I've seen in these recruiting videos. KEEP GOING!
Maria super video . Želim ti sve najbolje
i really need to play some more tennis
Honestly you hit the ball so clean and get nice power and flat but not too flat. YOu also have good awareness andn atural read and poise of the game, When you hit a good ball and the opposition is flat footed you come in and strike and go for a volley to take out the rally. Well done, this art is not existent these days as much and I wish youall the best and whoever snaps you up will be proud of your tennis mind and game.
Did you get the scholarship? Thousands of people are rooting for you!
Apart from backhand volley, she has a good technique. Surely she has a potential to improve a lot…
I'd love to see your game.
Yes, she’s hitting the backhand volley with a bent arm. Everything else looks good.
@@TimmieTennis Who's telling you to hit volleys with a straight arm?? Don't do that.
@@cmoorePB At contact arm should be straight, otherwise you lose power and risk injury. Look at the best volley-ers of all time, Stan Smith, BJK, Sampras- arm is extended and straight at contact. Good luck 👍
@@TimmieTennis But it's not. There is a slight break in the elbow when you hit the ball. During the follow through your arm is straight. Hopefully your coach isn't giving you any other bad advice.
Well i must confess - i enjoyed. Although being a big tennis fan, i wasn't really concentrated on the game ))
Impressive!
It’s a matter of time.
Keep it up.
The best to come!.
On point, consistent, focused 💯💯💯
Wow, this girl is excellent. Hope she makes it.
your tennis style is so beautiful. I know you can get into a good college!
Brava Marina!!In bocca al lupo x la tua carriera!!😉
very solid technique. Great power and movement as well . Good Luck
Very nice consistency and accuracy, Good luck in your scholarship!
Beautiful forms and mechanics
Good game you have and I am sure you will get paced in a nice college.All the very best.
Not sure why this is on my home page but I enjoyed it. Good luck
Body - pure perfection !
Greetings from Spain! :) good skills! wish you the best on ur career!
Marina your tennis skill is AWESOME!!!!!!! i wish i could meet you in person someday
i used to train next to martina hingis when she was 14. she did not hit harder but way more precise than this. your technique is good and i wish you good luck.
that's impressive buddy
Backhand groundstroke is on point 👌 good luck!
Thanks for the video. I hope you find a good college and realize your dream!
Great hitting, obviously a lot of work went into your game. I hope you are recruited and enjoy your college experience.
PS - hitting partner has a very solid 1HBH.
Don't know how or why this ended up in my feed but nice play and all round game. Hopefully many recruiters see it too.
I watched closely how your footwork, leg action, hip rotation and shoulder rotation functions. It is very good how you move and hit the ball. Keep on working.
Massage on left knee every other day recommended. Good technique overall + great mindset.
Your technique is pretty good, you have a lot of potential, hope you can get to a good college
You've earned a full scholarship to my heart, when can you start?
Marina, good luck ! you're great !
6:55 that run from the baseline to the net was impressive, you made it look easy.
D1 star in the making
Excellent technique! Very consistent, accurate and good footwork. You are on fire! Be number 1! You can do!!!
Solid game. Just based on the video, my bet is that you feel a bit streaky when you play. Great technique on the forehand but your swing path should be a bit more under the ball (with elbow control) and better extension. Your current swing path doesn't provide enough shape on the ball or provide the kind of heaviness you'll need to play D1 or beyond. Your backhand by far is what high level opponents are going to attack. You need to orient your shoulders a bit better (left over right) and extend through the shot. The unit turn could be cleaner with better racket positioning. My guess is that you tend to leave a lot of backhands sitting short and high (D1 players are going to open angles on you that are immediately going to put you in the defensive). Others have commented, but the backhand volley looks like you need to extend into the shot a bit more (it look like you have too much slicing action through the shot on a standard volley). My guess is that you feel like you lack put away power on the backhand volley and probably end more points with placement (drop volleys, angles) vs. crisp winners. I also imagine you make more errors on your backhand volleys vs. forehand. Your service game looks decent but you need to develop more of a kick-serve. There's some variability in your service technique which likely hurts your first serve consistency and placement. That's just repetition and practice. The serve kinetic chain doesn't look bad but you could definitely get some additional power if you can get a bit more from the leg drive (some on the comment board noted your foot position...that's something worth paying more attention to). Your return game looks decent but some of the ground stroke flaws are going to impact your return game as well. Big servers to your backhand are going to win a lot of easy points through unforced errors and 1-2 point construction. It's a great video, but the other dynamics that matter for high level competitive play are your mental game / attitude, work ethic, and physical conditioning. Maybe you can keep it together for an hour but can you play in 90 degree heat for 3 hours. These dimensions really matter ultimately to reaching the highest levels. You've got a great foundation and if you maintain a growth mindset I have no doubt you'll get what you want.
I love it. Very promising. Well done and good luck :)
I really like the forehand! good luck on the scholarship!
what a beauty
I’d sign her. Excellent skills.
Hey Marina I hope you get scholarship as you've definitely got loads of potential, one thing that can be changed is when taking forehands at a ball near peak height, jumping off the ground and swivelling your body as you hit the shot will give the ball more pace and better direction. Footwork is absolutely excellent and overall groundstrokes are good. Keep grinding and much love I am 17 too and you've got a bright future - train hard and keep working on your technique you can make top 100 I'm serious ❤❤💪
RUclips knows me better than I do. Gotta love RUclips algorithm
Keep going! Believe and good luck with your search for college 🤜🤛
hey you, recruitment coach. yeah you. give this girl the damn scholarship.
great job!!! Really solid game! Good luck!
All the best kido... you've got it!! great facility btw.
Somebody get this girl a scholarship!
Good luck Marina!
SO solid - you will do VERY well!
People complementing her in the comments just have no idea whatsoever. She is all over the place! She needs a lot more work, she wouldn’t stand a chance against a proven junior or senior player.
I hope she got in somewhere solid.
Don't stop get it get it.
Wow very nice forehand~ amazing~~~~!!! I will do that like you for my game~!!
🤩🖤Great form and technique overall. Love your fh and bh. Please improve your bh volley. Apply continental grip and do not raise your elbow. You seem to be strong for net play. Btw your hitting partner has also beautiful technique and wonderful one handed bh, especially slice 🙌.
Hope you will receive the scholarship. Best of luck 🍀 🎾
She already has a professional coach lol what do you think she's reading RUclips comments for tips
@@danmeadowsmusic apparently her professional coach knows shit about volleys
You’re amazing!
hi :) thx for the video ! perfect style !
AMAZING!
what an absolute boss
Привет,рад,что у тебя справа классический хват ручки ракетки,удар очень плотный,как и слева.Это очень большое преимущество.Старайся чаще играть под заднюю линию,атакуй,обостряй и будешь выигрывать регулярно
Now i love Tennis!!
Congratulations on making to CHARLESTON SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY ! Goog luck with your tennis and education!
Perfect tennis.
You have got a lot of future.🤩
Impressive. Give her the damn scholarship.
Nice form and movement. Backhand volley seems a bit odd to me as it seems closer to the body compared to the forehand volley (which seemed conventional). This may be a next-gen thing though - I have trouble keeping up with the evolution of hypermodern technique. The guy hitting with her has a nice one-handed backhand.
All the best🙏🏽
Fantástica,en todos los golpes,tal vez desde mi puto de vista lo único a corregir es la volea,mueve demasiado hacia atrás la raqueta,tanto de drive como de revés,lo demás golpes son perfectos!!!
I really like your movement. There's a saying in tennis, "beat the ball", which basically means to try and get into position when the ball bounces, so that you can focus your weight transfer. And what I see here looks really good. I see good technique on all strokes, and particularly liked your volleys, because you're consciously moving forward to put your weight into them. Smash is great, with an abbreviated take back, side on, and good timing. Serving is a little harder to comment on. I believe you're lacking some power on the serve. Overall, extremely good.
In saying that, scholarships are usually given to players with a UTR 8 or above, and you're already there, with some good wins over UTR 9's. I think you'll have no trouble at all to get a scholarship. Keep up the great work!
Marina, don't forget to give us, your fans surprise through your hard work.
I'll say in future, once upon a time, i saw this girl, subscribed her YT channel, she was outside top 500, just within top 1000 and look now where she's come!!!
I want to say that in future. That'd be a wonder😌
I'm moving to Croatia!
I really like angle of the camera
Excellent form!
Shot production on groundstrokes A+ you can dominate from the baseline and even crush the deeper top spin ball from your opponent
Footwork A (amazing on the groundstrokes and volleys, some room for improvement on the smash)
Volleys B- (the backhand flick volley is a problem, forehand v good)
Return ?? the dude served soft but the returns were quite good (I wanted to see how you do against 180K serves and big kickers)
Serve B Lack of kick and net clearance on the 2nd but very good first serve
Overall I don't know the US college system well but I have seen weaker players than you get a scholarship at good schools (10 years ago) I have also just watched the Junior Australian Open and you would have beaten quite a few girls I saw in the earlier rounds, so I like your chances
We want you to get recruited by a great school! You deserve it!
Good Luck! Come to Florida!
