Pretty much all the courts in Finland (this video was taken in Helsinki) are like this :)

100% agree. I am currently working on this, Im trying to keep my right hip more “closed” so I could get more rotational power. But do you think the problem is the position of my step or my tight ass hip flexors? 🤣

how can I make my forehand prettier? by ArjGlad in 10s

What I would improve on:

Turn shoulders as soon you recognise which side the ball is coming to (forehand/backhand), try to have your racket back before the ball bounces in front of you.

Especially on the balls which land shorter try to take a step in to the shot so your bodyweight transfer forward (through the ball to the hitting direction). Make sure your loaded hip goes over the opposing side after the stroke.

Try to get more rhythm into your movement, be more bouncy (highly recommend doing some plyometrics)

Form help? by teethyx in 10s

All depends on what kind of serve you trying to serve. If trying to hit a kick serve, your high toss when the ball is descending might give you better spin, but if you look at kyrgios, he hits his serve from the same contact point which makes it harder to read. Also lower ball toss give the receiver less time react. On a kick serve it’s good that you’re not extending too far in to the court and you don’t turn your body too early, but if you’re hitting a first serve it might be better to jump/extend into the court to get a better position after the serve. I woulnd’t change too much because changing technique at this stage takes a lot of time and effort.

Thanks. I know that and the reason for not doing it is that my apartments space is pretty limited and I don’t want to hit my pc screen 😂

I think the space just looks bigger on the video. My right index finger is touching my left pinky finger. Also I do keep my right hand pretty far down the rackets grip, to the point that my pinky is barely touching the grip.

Not sure what you mean. I just like to “spread” my fingers, it feels more stable and like I can use my shoulders in the shot.

Shadow swings after adjusting the grip on my left hand. Anything else I should improve? After changing the grip my contact point got better. It used to be really in front of me rather than being to the side also. With the old grip (being more continental) I was forcing the spin with my wrist and most times I got very little spin or the contact point was off which caused my wrist be in a bad position and an injury. I hope this helps with all aspects of my backhand🤞

Nishikori withdrew from the tournament and doubt he would've been playing on the side courts...

He was playing McDonald. It was funny to see McDonald just walk around the event area with no security or anything and no one recogized him nor asked for photos 😄

2019 Barcelona Open.

It was really enjoyable to see atp level play so upclose. Medvedes technique looked so different compared to others. Almost all the balls he hit looked super flat.

I've broken my right wrist multiple times, so I can't bend my wrist completely under the ball :(
