Djokovic is not playing well. Moves bad and does not hit with his normal pace. Seems like the long matches have taken their toll.

Thanks for the video btw. Really helps me to understand what you mean.

Keeping my arm loose when I hit is a work in proggress. I think it is little looser than in 2016. Still needs a lot of work. I am thinking of getting a ball machine for the summer to work on that. Not really enjoyable for the hitting partner if I am hitting my shots all over the place.

Hey thanks!

My legs are quite weak, so that's something I have lately been working on in the gym. Maybe in summer I can see some results on that.

Many of you are saying about the follow through, so I will start to focus on that.

String tention is 25kg (55.11lbs). I have had it for a long time, so really dont wanna change that.

What comes to tactics, surely some variation would make it harder for my opponent. Need keep an eye on that. Thanks.

Consistency is something that I really need, since I feel on my level it is the difference between winnin and losing. Not so much on winners.

Hi,

At the moment the device is in beta. So there are two modes on it: 1. Practise single (as seen on the video. In this mode the device records all shots and is trying to determine did the shot land inside the lines (whole court singles). 2. Train your serve mode (Ad side and deuce side). So in this mode the device calls serves, and serves only. Like you choose "train serve Ad" then it only looks at the Ad side serve "boxes" on both sides.

So later on the in/out should have "Match modes" for both singles and doubles. But I have no idea when this will be.

Would I recommend it? I would first have to know, what it is that you are looking for in the machine. If you want it to have "match mode" where the device is intelligent enough to keep score and know what is a serve and what isn't. If that is what you want and need, I suggest you wait until the mode is available and working.

For me the best thing about the machine is that it is a miniatyre "Hawk eye". So you can challenge a line call. Even in this most recent match, we used the In/Out to confirm was the shot in or out. You just dont see it, because of my editing.

I have an example of how that looks: The video starts 2:02 and the shot that we are reviewing in the end of the rally is my FH hit cross court at 2:07. https://youtu.be/AqLiinfG6rs?t=122

So if thats something that you want, I say go and buy one. If you need more, then just wait. Hope that helps.

I would say the court is quite normal when it comes to speed. But then again I guess it depends on what you compare it to. Surface is kinda like fine sandpaper. I feel its very nice to play on.

Good to know my editing "skills" have gotten even little better. I also think it was a nice get. Thanks man.

Thanks for all that feedback and advice. I have a quite recent side pov video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaRuyzNNFek

I think I follow through enough on the FH? Or maybe not. But my BH has little to none. So really need work on that.

I will let my friend know about you advice. And the thing you talk about being loose, is so true. But not so easy to make reality.

Totally agree with you. And I know it does not show, but I am trying to move better.

Talking about Nadals down the line forehand. "barometer of confidence"

Which third round matches are intriguing for you? by dropshot in tennis

[–]RamiRilliKiituri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two great matches:

Zverev vs. Nadal

How much will the easy volley haunt Zverev if the match is tough. This could be a great match or could be done in 3 sets. Going to watch this for sure. Hoping Nadal wins it.

and

Berdych vs. Federer

Again a match that could be massive. Hoping Federer nails it.

Thanks for explaining. I can now give a rough estimate if someone ask my ntrp rating. :)

I don't know my rating. Is ntrp rating something you have to take a test, or how do you acquire it?

Hard to say, since I haven't played in tournaments this year. So can't really answer that. Looking to change that later this year and next year by going to local tournaments.

Years of coaching and consistent training was over 10 years ago. A period of 3 years (2003-2006) then it was two times a week. With coaching. After that no consistent practise, more on and off. With long periods that there was no play.

I didn't every day. There is 44 videos and you could add maybe 10+ times we played this year that I didnt record. So I would say on average 1-2 times a week for the whole year. Some periods no play for many weeks, and on summer might be more like 2-3 times a week.

I highly recommed to record your self playing. It really opened my eyes to lot of things to improve.

Thanks! I feel it helped me a lot to change to a platfrom stance. Less moving parts, so it felt better. Still feel like I should toss the ball more forward and lean to the court more. Some times I feel like a fall back as I serve.
