Haha appreciate the support

You need to be careful with that mindset, because then you become predictable. You always have options. What the ball does is reduce the ammount of them you have

True. The only answers are to improve overheads and net play or settle in for a long physical grind - apply constant pressure until their fitness goes. But then you need better fitness for that to work.

That is so awesome to hear! Excited to hear you guys are using our tips and succeeding! Best of luck man

for sure he made your opponent life worse so not all good

Yes, it's a hard shot. Also using the nothing ball is a good option to win some free points

Appreciate it! Spread the word

Someone stop this man

@@smittywerbenjagermanjensen1051 I put some laxative in his tea

😂😂😂

😂😂😂

Good rule is give what you get until you get the ball at your waist that you can attack more.

Thank you!

that is so awesome to hear. Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Well good luck next time Scott. You can always use the junk ball yourself. It's a good way to win some free points

Thank you

Glad I could help

I watched him more than an year ago

i know when an upcoming star is coming . i agree musetti will be great

Yes. Sometimes having too many options can be a problem lol wr typically choose the worst one! But I'm sure he will learn in no time

@@MyTennisHQ Exactly, saw him hitting a underhand double fault on an important point 😆 Yet also hit a winning dropshot on setpoint against him. I like the unpredictability, yet like he says himself he needs to look at Sinner for some aspects :)

@@robocop6573 yes definitely seems like he's got what it takes

Gotta respect the junk ballers, they know how to play the game well!

I’m in the same boat. Glad I found this video! Top class.

Have you learnt the lesson & playing better?

@@Timothy_Pitt yes I have learned the lesson but the issue has changed to they are in better shape than me now so I have to figure out a way to win.

Yep I want to help amateurs win more points and play the game more instead of just worrying about technique. I was using the 98 there

Wow. You just outlined my issues exactly. Especially returning the slow loopy serves with no pace. I frequently over hit them or hit them into the net. Ug… Getting a bit better recently though.

You are welcome, Agustín!

You are welcome!

Lots of drills with your mates Christian. My son and I used to just play sets but now we do lots of drills before we play, focussing on our weaknesses before trying to incorporate them into our games. You get much better results from controlled repetition drilling like this than in a game situation. Good luck and cheers from Sydney - Dave

Thank you

Glad we can help!

Maybe a few lessons will help.

Let me know how it goes

@@MyTennisHQ really improved my game/game plan 👍 before it was all about finishing the point as quickly as possible 🤦‍♂️🙂

Repetition my friend. Doesn't have to be a perfect angle, just a shot that makes your opponent run

@My Tennis HQ would you agree that some players are better on the run than standing still? If so, how does your strategy change? For instance, I think you're deadlier off the court than in the middle of it.

hahah that is awesome to hear. We have a big library of lessons here on the channel, make sure you browse around!

I play way more often than him so I see the ball a bit faster which leads to quicker turns and adjustment. But yes it is important to start the unit turn early

Let us know how it goes

@@MyTennisHQ worked like a charm 6-1 6-1 6-2 :D ty for your awesome advice !!

Yes this could help but I actually think his Krypto is someone who can actually serve and volley and put away the smash. I’ve yet to see him play anyone with a strong net game.

don't need to serve & volley to beat MEP. just need to properly construct a point repeatedly. basically what this drill shows (even tho it doesn't show/practice closing in on the net to take away time).

@@PaulMacklinAmazing or anyone who doesn't abandon his default game after 3-4 errors and go into ultra conservative pansy tennis mode

I guess the thing that MEP is inadvertently teaching so many of TTs followers is the importance of consistency. How many of his opponents can engage in a rally where they hit >3 balls without making an unforced error? Certainly challenging me to up my consistency.

@@PaulMacklinAmazing He plays don’t miss tennis 🎾 even it means hitting soft/weak/unorthodox, which probably suits his quiet/low key demeanour. He is relatively quick on his feet and that helps him.

a lot of us did 😭

Its part of the game dawg😭 Atleast you aint one of them

If you don't get your @ss handed to you by a junk baller or good pusher/nothing baller at some point in your tennis life, you are nobody. LOLOL.

Same! I just had a humiliating loss today. 6-0 the score

I agree Having correct mindset is key

How I deal with nothing balls when I used to play this game. Instead of playing passive tennis and just letting the nothing ball control me instead I would do the opposite and just choose what shot selection to make on the nothing ball.... Use a Swinging Volley to put some heavy spin on it, Or Add alot more pace to it and use the reverse to clear the ball just over the netcord.. , Slice Chip it short down the line when the guy is off to one side of the court instead of hitting it hard and deep to the baseline corner down the line as some guys have the running extreme forehand to get to those extreme wide line corner balls, so i don't think a 10-20 foot gap is wide enough for some guys. especially if they have that running forehand, so I would also aim the nothing ball short wide shallow angle aiming towards the single corner sidelines of the service area instead of aiming deep down the baseline corner so I can open a up a bigger gap of 60-80 feet instead of just a leaving a gap of only just 10-20 feet which increases the risk that the wide line ball will get returned if the guy has the running reverse forehand. I wanted the gap more wider so the ball would not be returned back.

@@germanslice you always have a choice but the point the quote is trying to get across is that the shot that comes at you will inherently offer up a “better” or “preferred” option for your return...

@@jeantrudel292 well you can always slice drive all through the ball with the backhand and skim it with some pace low over the netcord. That type of flatter slice makes it a little more harder for the other guy to volley it as the ball will stay low once it crosses over the net and won't sit up high but it will dig up and skid into the player's feet and legs and start to push them backwards on the court because of the extra depth and pace that type of slice puts on the ball.. So Its not like the club slice you see often with the rec club amateur players when they slice the ball often these players have the strings facing the wrong direction so they come too much under the ball so the ball scoops up in the air going higher over the net and sits up in the court and falls short and has no bite behind it allowing the other guy to just step in with his forehand and just crush it. So I like using different options off these no pace nothing balls. Slice is good I think because if you have a good slice drive then you have the option to either jam up players feet with it or thread the needle to pass them. .

Valeu!

You are welcome!

Any chance Karue playing against TennisTroll players ? 👀

Not a bad play, even taking it as a swing volley. Just beware that usually a junk baller enjoys a target, so if you come in they might be good at passing. Again, this isn't the rule, just something to take about. Tennis is so nuanced, you have to try stuff

@@MyTennisHQ sounds good. they love to have a target, but hate to have to hit risky shots... that's a bet , and i suppose you have to do what you're best at. thanks and keep posting awesome stuff :)
