amazing job!!

could you maybe get a video of baez practicing

just asking. do you have to pay to see these guys practice?

I think videos like this one are a great blend of both worlds. We can see some casual hitting where intensity goes up gradually and then some point play. I try to do what they do and record clips of myself from the same court level camera angle to see my flaws and make it correct next time: kzfaq.info/love/XlaXI4aOin8rq9dof9LFPg

@Sup boi - Just the price to get admission into the venue. Once there, you can watch any practice going on without charge. In prior years, IW used to be free for qualifying rounds (which meant free practices). This year, they starting charging $10 for qualies (although they made up for it by giving free parking for the tournament, when it used to be $25)

likely thanks to short takeback

he's preset the break so much better predict whipping, in theory reduces power, but he can generate power from the rest of his body

@@chrisparker126 Yet he's one of the hardest hitters on tour. That crazy power coming from his hip and legs

@@seaneckhart9914 agreed, I think a big contrast to this is Federer whose FH has very very little delay on the take back. Very much a whip motion, what makes it devastating is he ALSO uses the hips and legs. Also leads to shanks when he's not on song

Federer gone, Nadal out... the only interesting guys are alcatraz and djoko now smh

Roger Who?

@@bernhardherrmann7164 the GOAT obviously, and I say this as a Serbian!

Roger drinks coffee with Klaus Schwab...

@@bernhardherrmann7164 don't worry, no rooster cries for you.

Good choker

@@ertugrulkorpinar51 just like your mommy, likes to choke on a good D.

@@ertugrulkorpinar51 yall tennis fans act like people are not allowed to lose lmao

@@ertugrulkorpinar51 Yeah.. they way he choked to Djokovic in Paris was pitiful.. especially after choking to 3 other top 10 players in that tournament

I have no idea why his coaching staff isn't correcting this. We ALL know what his problem is. We all can see that his consistency is absolutely lacking.

Honestly, just an old phone since the small lens can shoot thru the small gap in the back fence/wall to get this viewing angle

@@12kgpTennis Wow! You get great quality with it. Thanks for the videos!

Shapo - poly tour strike. Rune - RPM blast

Practice courts are open to the public. For this particular video, for this angle, have to be a little creative in finding the right spot to shoot through small gaps in the back wall/fence of the court

@@12kgpTennis oh thankyou so much one more thing did you use a mobile phone or a dslr camera? if so pls tell me the model too

burnt netherlands texas, dutch tx

He’s about 6ft 2 180lb or so

@@boaconstrictor4302 What's that in understandable units?

@@AA-le9ls He's around 188cm and 80kg right now.

@@AA-le9ls He’s about 15 rocks heavy and 27 beer cans tall.

Yes, rune almost did not miss a forehand, shapo lots out

Yeah.. just like Agassi did… Eh… oopsie.. doopsie..

Agreed re Rune being Carlos's biggest competition. Rune is like a modern day Agassi to me. He's not *that* good, but he's pretty close. My theory is that Mouratoglou is a good salesman, and he's figured out how to help maximize players' marketing ability/public image. And that he's got a good team of actual coaches who do the day-to-day work. However, I do notice that Rune seems to be a little less annoying on the court, and has shown better sportsmanship as of late. Maybe that's Mouratoglou's influence. But it also could just be him growing up as well.

@@bobbyearles4230 That's a good take at it.

I have no idea why people say that Mourataglou is off and if top players consistently go to him, which they have. Why on earth do all the youtube commentors think he's a joke?

@@sjp4565 I don't know about the rest of the YTers but in my case it's because his technical videos are really weird, like advising Holger Rune to slice through and forward, while all modern professionals (including Rune when he's not featuring in M's promo material) make a vertical, U-shape slice. That's just one example. Many of his vids have cringeworthy technical advice. I don't know why he does that. He doesn't seem to need it, given that he coaches world class players. He's clearly a successful business man and looking at Rune's progress, he might be a good mental coach. But when he talks about tennis, it's bordering on the ridiculous.

@Knotwilg I've seen the slice video and you still clearly make a U. You just contact the ball close to the body for action and follow through where the ball is going.

Lol what. Both rune and shapo would wipe the floor with John MC

He admitted the game have changed, he would lose to top 100 guys

@@Yungconnor Because of new equipment. He was more of an athlete than the new players.

Tell that to Nadal.

You have to in order to have good timing in a match.

U talking like a pro tennis player, wow 😂

@@agkenshin1558 It’s common sense dummy lol

I predict that you’re gonna be torturing ur Holger Vodoo doll in the coming years while he’ll be lifting big trophies.

All will come in time...he is still very young.

Yes but he is maturing and when that happens he'll be consistently top 10

He has grown a lot, still more to go. Let him mature.

@@telmolicious your little cry baby has lost against a 38 years old. Not even able to give a proper handshake lol
