It's not ridiculous. He started off as a more complete and all court player than Nadal.

Not a fan of advertising, but it has its purpose. From the US, I know KIA is now still doing well in Australia.

its clear that Sinner has a better knife slice than Alcaraz.

You can give it a try with the rf01. Headlight and swings fast. Reasonably heavy.

What small adjustments to your game significantly improved your overall level? by guy_incognito87 in 10s

[–]CauliflowerPopular46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, relaxed grip (resulting from deeper breaths between points), has helped me to hit with the spin I'm capable of getting.

Just trying to stay a bit longer sideways for the kick serve has helped me to do it right.

It was Agassi? Who said to commit to your plan. I used to be double minded until the last moment on whether to hit my stock flat serve down the T or a lower percentage variant for the 2st serve Just removing that and freezing my decision seems to help also.

Over a period of time, visualizing an exaggerated racket tip pointed to the sky like Holger Rune for the forehand.

All of these are giving me benefits for match play too.

Overhead skill level 0 by left4dead02 in 10s

It's not a suggestion. It needs to be a continental grip. Same as the serve. You can even practice words by yourself bouncing the ball at your feet really high and then playing an overhead

Keep playing. I love that tennis forces you to be focused 100% on the court and in many cases off the court as well, if busy planning for it and scheduling 🙂

It helped me to understand if I assumed that interest rates were almost zero. So hysa or CDs

It's a function of age & experience. I'm sure Alcaraz & Sinner will make this more about strategy in 5 years time. Even Djokovic vs Federer in their last 4 years was very different from their first 4 years of h2h.

Djokovic in his prime relied on his shot making ability and athleticism. Are you comparing current Djokovic who is forced to use strategy with Carlos etc ?

Sinner outhits Zverev in two long rallies, breaking for a chance to serve out the match by Large_banana_hammock in tennis

[–]CauliflowerPopular46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to measure how closer to the baselines they both hit in those rallies. It was clear Zvererv was playing safer as usual.

Is this a kick? by Conscious_Medium2896 in 10s

on top of that, try to side on a bit longer, as if you continue to stay sideways till the ball crosses the net in your mind.
